In the past, among the people, the wedding ceremony was also called red team. Before the girl gets married, the man wants to book the wedding. On the eve of marriage, girls have to take a shower, change clothes, tie their hair and pull their faces (also called smoothing their faces, that is, pulling down the fluff on their faces with two threads). Sit in the bucket and say goodbye to the family god. When the sedan chair comes, you must get on it with tears in your eyes. This is called homesick tears. You can't walk on the ground from the house to the sedan chair. Put a red carpet on your brother's back or on a sedan chair, which means you don't take your mother's soil. Parents should splash water at the door to show "water under the bridge" and will not be divorced by the man. Small red labels such as "Go all the way" or "Go all the way" are stuck on the curtains of the car. Girls should cry quietly all the way to show homesickness and repay their parents' kindness. Rich people usually use three sedan chairs, the first for the bride, the second for the bridesmaid and the third for the bridesmaid. After arriving at the man's house, the farewell party usually comes back after dinner. The bridesmaid will stay for three days and then follow the bride when she returns to the door.
On men's wedding day, they decorate lanterns, burn incense and light candles, hang fish on the door and put red paper on all the windows. Seal the bucket full of grain with red paper. Money, dates, peanuts and red eggs are all hidden under the mattress. When the bride's sedan chair arrives, stop at the door, and the man will open the middle door to greet her. Then a worship ceremony was held and a banquet was held to entertain relatives and friends. In the evening, the guests escorted the newlyweds into the bridal chamber in the noise. After entering the bridal chamber, the bride wants to drink jujube water, which is called thick soup. This day is often noisy until dawn (in Gushi, it is usually three days, and people of all ages can participate in these three days, but parents and uncles are not allowed to participate). When you enter the bridal chamber, you should sing carols (sung by middle-aged and elderly women who specialize in this profession).
The next day, I took a ladder from my new house with a stool and went to the kitchen. The bride and groom went upstairs to the kitchen to offer sacrifices. For more exquisite homes, stools and ladders should be covered with red carpets.
On the third day, the woman and the groom go back to their parents' home together, which is called "returning home in three days". The woman's parents entertain her guests. The order of walking back to the door is also particular: when returning to her mother's house, the woman walks in front and the man is behind; When I return to my husband's house in the afternoon (I have to leave home before sunset), the man goes first and the woman follows.
Excerpts from Gushi Wedding Eulogy Among the wedding ceremonies, the most enthusiastic and culturally rich one is the wedding eulogy. The wedding eulogy was presided over by a middle-aged woman (commonly known as mother), who helped the newlyweds to make wedding etiquette when they entered the bridal chamber on their wedding night. This woman has a glib tongue, sees the scenery and is eloquent. According to the present situation, you can freely write eulogies with different contents, richness, interest and auspiciousness. Now write down the following part:
There are red happy characters on the new house, and men, women and children are beaming.
