The traditional marriage between men and women usually consists of "discussing marriage", "getting married", "getting married", "going to the kitchen" and "returning to the door", and "getting married without saying hello" is a prominent feature of the wedding custom in eastern Fujian.
When a man and a woman reach marriageable age, they are searched by their parents, or young men and women fall in love freely, and the parents of the man entrust a matchmaker to propose to the woman. If the woman's parents agree, after the "marriage" thinks that the man and the woman have no "rush" and "gram", the man and the woman's parents will negotiate on the bride price, dowry and wedding date. And after reaching an agreement, the man's family chose auspicious days to give gifts to the woman's family for marriage.
On the wedding day, the woman's family held a luncheon and invited relatives and friends, commonly known as "going out for a day." The man's family hosted a banquet to invite relatives and friends, commonly known as "bride wine".
Sedan chairs usually go to the man's house in the dark, and then the man's house wishes his elders to come out and removes the "spell in front of the sedan chair" on the door.
After the "Tong Guan" went upstairs with the "wind lantern" for three times, the groom went downstairs with his robe and hat to pay homage to the bride. After three visits and nine knocks, the bride was held by Quanfu's elders.
After the "wedding banquet", another exquisite and rich banquet, commonly known as "gift wine", was prepared. Most of the attendees were well-off young people pre-selected by their parents.
The day after the wedding, at dawn, the bride will go into the kitchen under the guidance of the "bridesmaid's mother" for a "cooking ceremony". On that day, the bride will visit relatives and elders and hold a "welcome ceremony".
The bride "returns to the door" and the groom is a son-in-law. The woman's house will hold a banquet for her son-in-law and return to the man's house on the same day, so that the whole wedding etiquette will come to an end.
