On the day before the wedding, the woman will hold a grand banquet for her relatives and friends. This custom is different from many places. You know, banquets for relatives and friends are usually held on the wedding day, presided over by the man. This is the difference of marriage customs in Zhanjiang. The bride and groom should wear casual clothes and propose a toast to their relatives and friends on this day. After the banquet of relatives and friends, we should prepare for the wedding. First of all, the woman will let the good woman roll up the bedding on the wedding bed from the opposite side, and at the same time put objects with excellent meanings inside, such as "lotus seeds" and "peanuts", and take them to the man's home.
The bride must get up early the next morning. Get up and freshen up, and wait for the groom to marry himself in the boudoir. At the same time, the bride's brothers and sisters should also be prepared to prepare all kinds of prescribed tricks to embarrass the groom.
