We are in Suzhou, and our relatives are going to marry a wife who lives in Sihong, Suqian. I want to ask some questions about marriage customs.

I'm from there, too. That's what we do there. The engagement party depends on the economic conditions at home. People who are usually close relatives eat together, so it's no big deal. If it's arrogant, it's bigger and more people are invited, but there are no strict rules about which side pays the bill, such as alcohol and tobacco, depending on their wishes, but usually men will have gifts.
