In the wedding custom in Laizhou (including Jiaodong), when men and women are engaged, they should give each other "Qiao Bobo" (various kinds of pasta). The man gave the woman "twenty peaches" made of dough, and the woman kept ten, and then gave him dragons and phoenixes, mandarin ducks, goldfish, lions, bergamot and butterflies.

This kind of "Qiao Bobo" is relatively large, about a foot long, covered with small "flour flowers" made of hot noodles, called "jujube flowers", which also means early flowering.

When getting married, menstruation, uncle, aunt and other close relatives will send eight birthday peach-shaped cakes, including Yuanyang, Magpie, the Eight Immortals for Birthday and Shuang Yan.

When getting married, the bride's family should make a pair of fish, a pair of wealth, symbolizing wealth, and a pair of mandarin ducks, symbolizing love and growing old together. Mandarin ducks are tied together with red lines and put in the washbasin, which means to be together for life. Yuanyang's son-in-law is allowed to eat after marriage, and noodles, steamed buns and wealth should be brought back to her family.

"What should I say when I go?" Your date knows best. Ask (her). You haven't said whether you are a man or a woman.
