Why do many people now buy houses in the city, but still hold banquets in the countryside?

When getting married, you need to worship the heaven and the earth "first to the heaven and the earth, second to the high hall, and then the husband and wife to each other." This is a wedding custom that has been passed down for thousands of years. "Gaotang" is an honorific title for parents and ancestors. You can get married wherever your parents live.

1. Marriage in rural areas does not prove marriage only after obtaining a marriage certificate. It is called marriage after having a banquet.

Legally speaking, the two have registered their marriage, and they are legally husband and wife after obtaining the marriage certificate. But in rural areas, a wedding is generally called a wedding when a banquet is held and witnessed by relatives, friends, and neighbors. Young people in rural areas usually get a marriage certificate first, and then hold a banquet. After the banquet, it is called marriage. According to the traditional concept in rural areas, a woman's first time is for her husband, and only after having a rural banquet can she enter the bridal chamber. After entering the bridal chamber, the woman is the man's wife. In many rural areas, people only recognize banquets and not marriage certificates. There is also a situation in rural areas where a banquet ("getting married") is held, but a marriage certificate is not issued until several years later. In some rural areas, regardless of whether you have obtained a certificate or not, you are married after a banquet, and you are a "legal" couple.

2. I bought a house in the city, but if I have a house in my hometown in the countryside, I usually hold banquets in the countryside.

Nowadays, many rural young people have bought houses in cities, but they also hold banquets in their hometowns in rural areas. Holding a banquet at home is to announce to rural neighbors that "we are married." Nowadays, many young people do the same thing. They hold a banquet in their hometown in the countryside to entertain relatives and friends, and they also hold a banquet in the city to entertain colleagues, classmates and friends. The purpose of holding a banquet is to tell relatives and friends "We are married"

3. Relatives and friends in rural areas are more willing to attend banquets held in rural hometowns.

In the local rural area of ????Xinrui Ecology, wedding banquets are held for three days. There will be a banquet the day before the wedding. The night before the wedding, my uncle and cousin wanted to sit down at a banquet. The day before the wedding, mainly the mother's family members were seated, and there were only a few tables of guests. On the wedding day, all relatives and friends attend the banquet. There are usually dozens of tables of guests on the wedding day. Hosting rural banquets at home is more atmospheric, lively and festive. Now more and more people are hosting banquets directly in hotels, just for one meal. In fact, the cost of hosting a banquet in a hotel is not low. The cost of hosting a banquet in a hotel is about the same as hosting a banquet in your hometown in the countryside. But having a banquet in a hotel feels like a dinner party, without the lively atmosphere of a traditional wedding. I don't want to attend a wedding banquet in a hotel.

Conclusion: In the local rural areas of Xinrui Ecology, if you have a house in your hometown in the countryside, you usually hold a banquet according to traditional customs, which makes it more lively and atmospheric.
