Nowadays, Beijingers rarely see wedding teams riding big horses and carrying sedan chairs when they get married. Instead, they are all luxury cars. Although the wedding customs in Beijing keep pace with the times, some rules are continuous. Let's talk about it in detail below.
? One: They are engaged, and now they can fall in love freely. If both men and women express their determination to enter the marriage hall, then they should invite their parents to have dinner with a few relatives and friends and decide to get married. At the dinner table, the parents of both men and women will reach an agreement on the bride price, and then the parents of the man will give the woman a gift, and the parents of the woman will also prepare a small gift for the man.
? Two: dowry, the woman should prepare the dowry after receiving it, and send it to the man's house in the afternoon a few days before marriage. Of course, most men buy houses now, while women buy some household appliances and daily necessities.
? Three: get married. On an auspicious day, the man will go to the woman's house to marry the bride, while the bride's house is ready to welcome the groom. Now weddings are directly handed over to the wedding company, but the wedding ceremony is still the same as the traditional one.
? Four: make trouble in the bridal chamber. After worshipping heaven and earth, the couple can enter the bridal chamber, eat children's cakes, drink toasts, make the bed, remove their heads and so on. Now it's not too embarrassing for everyone to make trouble in the bridal chamber, but at the wedding banquet, it's all about the newlyweds, which makes the atmosphere very lively.
Five: Back to the door, the next morning after the wedding night, the newlyweds should worship the gods, buddhas and clans together, and meet their parents and other elders to determine their birthright and size. Of course, now they are all monogamous, regardless of size. On the third morning, I took the groom home to visit relatives.
After reading the above wedding customs in Beijing, do you feel full of ancient customs? Modern Beijingers' weddings are actually western-style, with special emphasis on completing the ceremony before 12.
