Why not welcome the bride into the groom's house? I think it's strange. They told me that the person who saw the bride off had fulfilled her mission. But the bride can't enter the groom's house yet? Home, so the bride is the groom's home. The ceremony is usually held around 5 o'clock in the evening. If any brave young man goes in to grab the bride before that, the groom's family can only stare. Because the bride is not from their family, in the old society, because of the arranged marriage of her parents, the bride was led by her beloved boy before entering the man's house. However, the groom's family is ready for this. They have lit two bonfires near the woodshed, where more than 65,438+00 boys will drink and sing all night to protect the bride from being taken away by others.
The groom "escaped from marriage"
I found a strange phenomenon. It is the groom's family who are all preparing to get married, but they just can't see the shadow of the groom Deng. Where did he go? It turns out that according to the custom of Yao nationality, the groom can't be at home these two days, and he has to go to a friend's house outside to escape marriage. Until the time of meeting the bride, the musicians will blow their instruments and take him back to meet the bride. In order to find out how the groom escaped from marriage outside, I began to look for the groom, but we visited every corner of the stockade and interviewed 10 people to ask about the groom's whereabouts, but found nothing. They won't tell us the whereabouts of the groom easily. Finally, under the guidance of the kind brother Yao, we finally found Deng. Haha, this young man is sleeping in his friend's bed.
At four o'clock on the third day, the groom's house was full of joy and wine songs. Piles of burning bonfires in the stockade made the faces of the shanzhai and the Yao couple red by the fire. ...
When I came to the groom's house, I saw that the women had taken the bride out of the woodshed and stood in front of the gate. Pastor Huang Yuanlin has arranged sacrificial supplies to welcome the bride into the house. The ceremony began and the musicians played happily. The high priest took a sip of wine, sprayed it at the feet of the bride standing outside the door, sounded the two musical instruments in his hand, and murmured a spell. Originally, the wedding ceremony was to spray wine to ward off evil spirits, prevent evil diseases from entering the house, make the whole family healthy and have children smoothly, and let the daughter of the Huang family become the daughter-in-law of the Deng family and formally become a member of the Deng family.
In sweet joy, the bride walked slowly into the room with the help of the bridesmaid, knelt in the middle of the room and saluted the two ancestral tablets, and was sent to the bridal chamber in the absence of the groom. ...
Since then, Huang Damei has officially become a member of the Deng family.
