Can I have a seat in advance if my uncle doesn't arrive in Foshan?
You can't. According to the inquiry network, Foshan pays great attention to etiquette. On such an important occasion as marriage, if my uncle has not yet appeared, it is not allowed to open a seat, otherwise it is disrespectful to my uncle. This custom continues in many places in Foshan. If you don't wait for your uncle to open the table, people who mind will even lift the table in public.
