Like people in other cities in Jiangsu, Wuxi people like the number 8 very much. On holidays, they need to eat once every eight days, and their children need to eat eight kinds of dishes before the exam, even the number of eight should be counted in the wedding bride price. In Wuxi traditional wedding customs, the bride price is not as high as possible, but "double hair"! At present, 88,000 yuan is the most common bride price for Wuxi people to marry women. If two eights are together, they will definitely be given later.

In the eyes of parents, the child will always be a "little lover" who is hard to give up. When the child falls from the ground to the society until he enters the marriage hall, although it is difficult for parents to give up emotionally, they have to turn grief into joy for the sake of their children's happiness and handle every level for them. In the eyes of Wuxi people, traditional marriage customs are undoubtedly the most binding and reassuring to both parents.

The change of mouth fee, also called bride price, is usually paid by the parents-in-law in person on the wedding day. The amount varies, depending on the friendship of the old man. But some people like to turn the change into real things, such as ancestral gold rings, jade bracelets and even jade pendants! These items are valuable, and more importantly, they are collectible.

After the relationship between men and women is confirmed, the man's family will find a good day to formally propose to the woman's family. The suitor can be the man's parents, his grandparents or a professional matchmaker. They will use a pair of smart teeth to tell the story of the two of you, which is made in heaven and vows of eternal love, enough to make the woman's parents refuse. In return, the man's parents will give the matchmaker a big red envelope and send 18 pig's trotters to show their gratitude.

If you want to be rich, please put on Lang's pants ... In the traditional Wuxi wedding custom, "the poor wear linen and the rich wear pants", and it is helpful to wear a pair of pants from the man. During the bride price, the groom will personally seal his trousers in a red package and put them on the top of the bride price. This is the so-called "taking the lead".

Although Wuxi people are gentle and like joking, it is not easy for the bride's family to get into trouble with the groom's official who comes to "grab the bride". In Wuxi wedding custom, bridesmaids will ask tricky questions, and once they can't answer them, they will be punished, but the groom will take the second way: red packets of rain. After the successful visit to the church, she has to accept the steps of finding shoes, doing push-ups and feeding the bride noodles.
