Living habits are different in every place, and so are marriage customs. Her hometown is in Xiangcheng, and her name is "× Lao Zhuang", which is the surname of this village. She belongs to Wu Laozhuang, and everyone in the village is surnamed Wu. He is a Zhuang nationality, and everyone in the village is surnamed Ma. The bride's family will not hold a party the day before her wedding. The groom's family will entertain the people in the village the night before the wedding. When the groom goes to pick up the bride, the way to go and the way back can't be the same. On the way to pick up the bride, whenever you meet a telephone pole (saying: telephone poles are made of stone), you should put a red "jubilee" on the day before. Everything made of stone will also be pressed with a square piece of red paper the day before. For example, all kinds of stones, stone mills, wells and cement blocks will be pressed with red paper, and there will be bad things near the stone wells. Sticking red paper can prevent monsters from coming out.
For the bride's wedding dress, the bride can choose to wear a wedding dress or embroider lotus flowers, which is essential in the whole wedding process. The bride can only eat boiled eggs on the morning of the wedding. After dinner, the bride, wearing auspicious clothes but no shoes, sat in the middle of the bed with yeast in her left hand (used to ferment steamed bread, but yeast steamed bread tastes better) and a handful of coins in her right hand. Hide the bride's shoes in advance so that the groom can put on the shoes and ask for a red envelope. If you don't give a red envelope, you won't tell the groom where the new shoes are hidden. The bridesmaid (or brother) is responsible for blocking the door and asking for a red envelope. The groom got down on one knee with flowers in his hand and proposed to the bride. Only after the bride agrees can the groom put on her wedding shoes. The groom needs to give the bridesmaids (or brothers) red envelopes and then give them instructions on new shoes. The red envelopes are all in place. When the groom finds the shoes, he should put them on the bride himself. After that, the groom held the bride's left wrist and called her parents. The bride and groom bowed to their parents at the same time, thanked their parents for their parenting, and hugged each other. The bride and groom took a group photo together. Afterwards, the bride will cover her head. The bride's parents watched the groom get on the wedding car with his daughter, and the bride's parents could not leave the house. The bride's family (brother, aunt, uncle, menstruation) loaded the bride's dowry (quilt, washbasin) into the car, got on the bride's car and went to the groom's house for a wedding banquet.
When the groom takes the bride home, he can't take the same road as when he takes the bride home. He needs to walk around. When the car stopped at the groom's house, people in the village gathered around the wedding car to see the bride. Some of them stood on the bungalow and looked down at the wedding car, hoping to see the bride's true face as soon as possible. The groom's family will walk around the car counterclockwise with hemp stalks and plowshares, and then start setting off fireworks. The bride gets off the bus with the help of the groom's family (usually the groom's sister-in-law or aunt), and then the bride scatters coins in her right hand from the air and gives the leaven in her left hand to the person who helps her get off the bus. Western-style wedding requires that the groom get off the bus and enter the house first, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen stand at the door. After that, the groom was answering some questions from the MC, such as the mood at the moment and what kind of girl he thought the bride was. After answering a series of questions, the groom can't wait to run to the bride. He was a gentleman, formally holding the bride's left arm, and slowly walked to the rostrum. There is a table on the platform. There is a bucket on the table with the word "Xi" on the outside, which is full of old wheat. Beside the old wheat filled with buckets, there is a small bucket filled with green onions and oil with a steelyard in the middle. As for its meaning, I asked the manager and he said it was the old rule. I guess the scale may be satisfactory. The barrel is full of old wheat, which means the family has money. An onion should be a kitchen dish, and the oil in the bucket should be cooking oil, so the dishes with oil are delicious. There is a basin burning fire paper on the ground in front of the bucket, and the bride and groom need to kneel down to the bucket. Then both of them bowed to the groom's parents and thanked them for their parenting. After that, the bride and groom loudly said "I do" to each other under the auspices of the MC. Flower girl sends rings, the bride and groom exchange rings, wear rings, and drink a toast. The bride changed her mind, called sincere and affectionate parents to her in-laws and offered them tea. The bride and groom took a group photo together. The groom takes the bride to the wedding room, and the bride puts on a wedding dress or embroidered lotus and another auspicious dress. The groom found the bride's box and took it to the wedding room. The key to the box is in the hand of the bride's brother. The groom's father must ask the bride's brother to send a red envelope to the key. The groom's sister-in-law opened the box, found another pair of wedding shoes and put them on the bride. The wedding shoes worn by the bride from her family are given to the sister-in-law who changes the shoes for the bride (the wedding shoes worn by the bride from her family can only be worn once). At the beginning of the banquet, the old manager arranged all the guests to sit down, and the bride and groom, under the leadership of the old manager, greeted the people who came to congratulate them to eat and drink.
The groom's family makes a bowl of noodles for the bride, which is divided into two bowls. One bowl is thin (there is noodle soup, onion and garlic, etc.). ) and the other one is thick (all noodles). Two bowls of rice are packed in bowls, and each bowl is covered with a bowl. The groom's sister-in-law brought two bowls of rice into the wedding room together and asked the bride to lift the bowls. If the bride raises the thick bowl first, it means that the bride is a woman. This bowl of noodles is also called the bride's first meal at her in-laws' house, and the bride and groom are required to finish the noodles together.
As for the layout of the wedding room, the word "Xi" is written on it, covered with Le Ballon Rouge and ribbons, and two bricks will be placed on the bed to symbolize the strength of future children. On the first day of marriage, the bride's brother will go to the groom's house to pick up her sister and go back to her parents' house. The bride will stay at her parents' house for one day, and then the brother will send her back to her husband's house. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the bride will return to her family. On the fifteenth day of the first month, if the bride's brother has children, he will take the children to invite the bride and groom to go back to their parents' house to see the lights.
Marriage customs are really different in every place. Everyone has a different definition of the right person and finds the right person. Everything they talk about is a sign of happiness.
