In Chengdu, you usually meet twice before you get married. Of course, this is not a casual meeting, but a formal meeting. Meeting for the first time mainly depends on whether the parents of both sides are satisfied with their children. If both parents are satisfied with the man's parents, it depends on the economic situation and customs. Generally, you need to bring 6 or 8 to win the prize, such as 1008, 1888, 2008, 2888. . And so on, then the woman's parents can properly talk to the man about the wedding room. The first time is mainly a process of understanding and determining the relationship, called engagement. After the first meeting, both parents basically conveyed the approximate date of the wedding, the amount of dowry and whether there are other requirements through their children, which laid the foundation for the second meeting.
After the wedding room and bride price are confirmed, we will meet again for the second time. At this time, the man will buy ten gifts and ten pounds of bride price (meaning perfect) to visit the woman's house (called VIP). This time, determine the wedding date and the approximate scale of the wedding, and things will be finalized. Then when the wedding day comes, the details will be fine. As for the dowry, it was agreed by both parties and then bought with a bride price (not enough for the man, but enough for the woman). Like bedding, here we usually prepare two sets for the man and six or eight sets for the woman.
Of course, not every wedding custom in Chengdu is fixed, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation and economic conditions, and it is not static.
