In advance, the woman's family also made preparations according to the agreement, such as dowry, catering, meeting relatives and friends, and organizing a team to send people away (generally composed of eight people, including two women accompanying them, commonly known as "sending people away"). When the "welcome person" arrived, a console table was set up in the yard of the woman's house, and alcohol and tobacco were placed. The housekeeper toasted the wedding host three times to welcome him, and the wedding host put everything on the table. After dinner, the head of the woman's family confessed the dowry to the leader who presided over the wedding, and doubled the box of money, pocket money, oil, noodles, chopsticks and so on. Everything is ready and ready to go. The bride puts on a dowry and a "hijab" (made of red quilt cover or red silk) to get on the sedan chair and watch her mother-in-law get on the horse. The trombone rings and her hand blows first. The wedding procession takes the wedding of the mother-in-law as the first, and among the brides, the farewell of the mother-in-law is the last, which is carried out in an orderly manner. At this time, the suona sounded and swayed and walked out of the village. If someone makes trouble, they can put cigarettes and alcohol on the side of the road, the wedding procession must stop, and the piper will play three songs on the spot, three times and three times before releasing them. On the way, if the two teams meet in the same direction, there is a custom of "grabbing the road". In order to avoid disputes, the leaders of the two sides usually ask the pioneers to mark the road with needles (a deciduous tree with long thorns and round seeds) after consultation, and point out a new way for the latecomers; If they meet, the brides will exchange belts or sewing kits, and both of them will make a new look with sewing strips. You must slow down when you enter the village. Give full play to the hand-blowing, or play "Victory Order", or play music such as "Your Legend" and "Grand Parade". The villagers are watching, very lively. At this time, the parents-in-law entered the bridal chamber, picked up pillows and walked around, commonly known as "holding grandchildren." The family should build a mill to prevent the dragon and white tiger from "grabbing the fun". Everything is ready, just waiting for the new person to enter the door.
After the welcoming team entered the door, a special room was set up to entertain them. The bride needs the leader of the "giver" to help her dismount (or get on the sedan chair), and the groom lifts the "hijab". Two people set foot on the red carpet in tandem and went to the bridal chamber (commonly known as "tent kiln"). Before that, the trumpeter must go in and sign a number, which is called "clearing the account". Then a person sings with a bowl of wheat leaves, small money and grains, which is called "spreading the bill". After the couple enters the bridal chamber, a child carries water to wash the bride's face, and the bride wants to give some money as a reward. After the bride gets on the kang, she puts away her things (such as needle and thread, walnuts, red dates and coins). ) That has been pressing on the four corners of the seat, which is called "stepping on the four corners", and then sitting quietly in front of the kang. Later, the "gift" was seated (eating a wedding banquet). The groom will give a toast and the leaders of the farewell party will repay it with money, which is called "worship banquet" by the people.
After dinner, a ceremony was held. Hosted by my sister (husband) or aunt (husband), let the couple sit on the bucket back to back, put their hair together and sing while combing: Yun Zheyue with a wooden comb and those with a wooden comb. Three-wood comb couples always love each other, and four-wood comb is safe all year round. The new son-in-law is like Mu. Buckwheat root, corncob, a kiss at the sight. Raise a boy, be good, wear a gown and coat; The adopted daughter is smart, and the pomegranate peony is hinged. Walnut and jujube, both children ran all over the kang. A match made in heaven, husband and wife love each other for life. Immediately, red dates and walnuts fell from the couple's heads, and the couple scrambled to pick them up in their pockets. Then, the host will tie the bride's head into a bun, which means that married couples can grow old together. Later, brother-in-law, uncle and sworn brother will have a relationship, that is, let the two newcomers make all kinds of affectionate actions in public. The guests took the stage and the newcomers performed, which made the audience laugh. After the trouble, the mother-in-law stuffed the child's steamed stuffed bun through the window (wrapped it in paper and threw it through the window), hoping to have grandchildren as soon as possible. Don't put out the lights in the accounting room (new house) all night. When I got married (not in my hometown, but in the hotel where I worked), my mother rushed from her hotel to my new house to smash my steamed bread, because I didn't know there was such a rule before, which surprised me. I don't know why I was told not to close the window before going to bed, huh? ....
The next morning, the young couple will eat their children's flat food (jiaozi), and after dinner, they will hold a "worship ceremony" and a "bright box" (to show their in-laws and husbands their dowry). On that day, the man's house saw the guests off and the bride and groom went home (the groom came back to visit the landlord). The next day, the young couple were sent back by their father-in-law (landlord), which is called "saving face". After eight days, the bride needs to stay in her family for seven days and then come back and say "seven to eight".
Now many customs and rules have been simplified. It used to be complicated because of poverty, so we should haggle over every ounce. Now all the customs and rules are for the excitement of the wedding scene. ........

The wedding custom of "something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue" has a history of hundreds of years. Many brides were asked on their wedding day whether they had prepared those "old, new, borrowed and blue" clothes to walk slowly through the aisle of the church. It is said that the tradition of wearing every dress has its unique significance, but it can bring good luck and wealth to the newlyweds. Have you ever wondered what this sentence really means? How did it originate? What does each dress represent? The original statement originated from the Victorian era. The original text is: "There is something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue; Put a silver sixpence in one shoe. " An old bride can wear or wear an old dress to symbolize her historical connection with her family and past life. Many brides wear a piece of jewelry handed down from the family as an "ancient" choice. Some brides wear wedding dresses worn by their mothers or grandmothers. In fact, old things can also be borrowed things. Wearing new clothes symbolizes the bride's success and hope in her new life and marriage. If the bride buys a new wedding dress, it can be her "new", but any other new dress is also ok. "Being unconventional" is often the easiest thing to do. Some borrowed clothes should be borrowed from a happily married friend. It is said that their happiness will benefit you and bring long-term happiness to your marriage. Some brides borrow a dress, a piece of jewelry, a handkerchief or a beaded handbag. Wearing a blue wedding dress comes from biblical times, when it represented purity, loyalty and love. Over time, this tradition has evolved from wearing a blue wedding dress to sewing a blue edge at the bottom of the bride's wedding dress, and then to the modern common practice-the bride uses blue garters. Silver sixpence Putting a silver sixpence in the bride's left shoe is said to be a symbol of wealth. It not only represents wealth in property, but also represents happiness and happiness in marriage. Because many brides today may not even know what sixpence looks like, this part of traditional customs is not always observed in modern weddings. However, if the bride wants to include this item in her wedding, she can buy sixpence silver coins from many companies that sell wedding supplies such as garters and invitations. Some more traditional brides may spend a lot of time choosing every dress. Traditionally, women in the same family wear the same piece of jewelry. And some brides are not bound by tradition, but will follow this tradition at the request of others. If they don't want to cover everything, they can carry a small beaded handbag and put two handkerchiefs in it-they can buy a new white handkerchief or borrow a blue handkerchief from home, so that they can "have something new"-a white handkerchief and a blue handkerchief. Handkerchiefs can come in handy at weddings-wiping tears of joy!
