Imagine and rehearse the course of the day.
Wedding day process: (time design for reference)
At 6: 30, the bride began to put on makeup and the groom was ready to change clothes.
At nine o'clock, the groom greeted the bride with a float and the sedan chair was ready.
At half past nine, the groom arrived at the bride's house, and the bride covered her head with red. Accompanied by the bridesmaid, she was led by HongLing, who was led by the groom, and slowly boarded the float.
10: 00, the float arrives at the sedan chair position, the couple changes into the sedan chair, and the sedan chair bearer lifts the sedan chair. Accompanied by the band, the sedan chair will be held at the wedding scene. Guests can spray fireworks at the couple and set up happy balls or ribbons banners along the way to show their elegance in the festive and warm scene of gongs and drums.
1 1: 00, the couple got off the sedan chair, crossed the saddle and entered the wedding scene surrounded by everyone.
1 1: 18 At the beginning of the wedding, the bride changes her clothes and makes a toast to the guests.
The wedding banquet is over.
Newcomers enter the bridal chamber
Xinren clothes
The groom wears a championship robe and the bride wears a feathered dress.
The champion robe is a change from the red nine-grade official uniform. The hat is a black hat with palace flowers.
The rockhopper is a phoenix model decorated with silver or other textures, and the Bi Xia is a red shawl. Generally speaking, the bride wears a red silk coat and trousers, embroidered shoes and embroidered auspicious patterns, such as mandarin ducks, plum blossoms and lotus flowers.
Chinese clothing can be customized, rented in clothing stores, or reserved for wedding photos in photo studios. Some photo studios will borrow wedding day clothes for free in the shooting suite.
Wedding taboo
1. Flowers wither easily, so marriage is taboo. Only flowers and pomegranates can't help. Because the red petals of the former are opened from the center of the leaf, its shape can mean that a leap girl is married and sincerely waiting for her husband, while the latter means that her children and grandchildren are full.
The bride's clothes should not have pockets, so as not to take away the wealth at home.
3. After going to bed, on the eve of the wedding, the prospective groom should avoid sleeping alone in the new bed and find an underage boy and groom to sleep in the new bed. Otherwise, as the saying goes, "if you are trapped in an empty shop, you will die, and you will die" is considered an ominous sign.
On the wedding day, when the bride goes out, all aunts and sisters-in-law should avoid seeing each other off, because "aunt" is homophonic with "orphan" and "sister-in-law" is homophonic with "sweep", which is unlucky.
On the wedding day, when the bride becomes a monk, everyone should cry as soon as possible. Don't say "don't cry" if you don't cry.
6. Three days after marriage, when the couple get home, they must get back to their husband's house before sunset that day, and they can't spend the night. In case you can't go home for special reasons, the husband and wife should sleep separately, so as to avoid the bride's blood colliding with her family during the honeymoon and making it unlucky.
On the way to the wedding, if the sedan chair meets the sedan chair, it is called "Xi rushes to Xi", which will bring bad luck. The solution is that firecrackers must be set off to each other, or the matchmakers of both sides exchange prepared flowers, which is called flower exchange.
8. Pregnant women and undertaker can't witness the couple go out or enter the house, let alone touch the couple's clothes and everything in the new house.
9. When the groom picks up the bride from her daughter's house, the bride may leave her family, or cry for joy in excessive excitement. This is also very common and not a problem (even if it is a good thing, leave a "water head" at her daughter's house). But you can't cry when you go to the man's house.
10. Brides are forbidden to wear "old shoes" on wedding auspicious days. All wedding shoes, embroidered shoes and evening shoes should be brand-new. If you are afraid that new shoes are hard and uncomfortable, wear high-quality soft leather, and the size may be a little loose and padded. Don't wear high heels.
1 1. The bride should be careful not to step on the groom's shoes, which will make her feel ashamed of her husband.
12. When the bride enters the man's house, she should avoid stepping on the threshold and cross it.
13. If the bride and groom get married, that is, the groom's brother, the bride and groom must pass through the unmarried brother's crotch before going out to show "offence". If it's the eldest sister who climbs her head, because some people think it will be "underdeveloped" to wear it under a women's skirt, they will send the skirt to the unmarried elder sister instead, commonly known as "menstruation skirt". Unmarried brothers and sisters should not witness new people going out or going through the door, but should temporarily avoid higher places, such as going to the next level.
14. When the bride enters the man's house, Weng and Gu should not point the direction of the bride's entrance at the gate, but avoid it a little to prevent collision.
15. The wedding couplets should be hung up before the "top" at the latest (that is, on the eve of marriage) and can be taken down one month after marriage. Men's and women's couplets are different, so it is necessary to distinguish clearly when purchasing.
16. When women remarry, they should not wear skirts or red clothes, but choose pink, orange, gold or silver. In addition, there is no need to "climb to the top" because "climb to the top" means "adulthood", and it is "adulthood" when you first get married. You don't have to bring suckling pigs when you go back to China.
17. The man doesn't need to "climb to the top" for his second marriage. If the second reason is the death of his ex-wife, the first thing the second wife does after entering the door is to offer tea in front of his ex-wife's coffin, and then offer tea to Weng Gu.
18. On the wedding night, the bride will find her unmarried sister sleeping in her bed that night, with fruits and red envelopes on the bed. I wish the bride all the best in her life.
19. Marriage is forbidden because it is a gift from a tiger, because tigers will hurt people, so as not to lead to disharmony or infertility between husband and wife.
20. The mirror in the bride's room should not be lent to others within four months of marriage, so it is forbidden to take pictures of others, so the wardrobe or dresser for dowry. All the mirrors on the desk are covered with red paper, and they can't be removed until four months later.
2 1. Don't stay overnight for four months after marriage.
22. Avoid participating in other people's weddings, funerals and festive activities within four months after marriage to avoid conflicts.
23. avoid getting married in the ghost month, that is, the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
24. Avoid getting married in June of the lunar calendar, which means a half-moon wife.
25. When installing the bed, put the bed in the right position and avoid the sharp corners of the desk closet or any object.
26. On the day of engagement, no matter how hot the weather is, all the people who are engaged are not allowed to fan, otherwise it means breaking up.
27. The engagement letter stipulates that after the wedding reception, neither party can say goodbye, otherwise it means remarriage.
