What are the engagement customs in Suzhou?

In the morning, the groom will come to pick up the bride. Everyone younger than the bride will get a red envelope. At least one 60 yuan. From the day before the wedding, relatives and friends of the southern woman will go to the man's house for dinner. One will be eaten until the night of the wedding. The groom's family will bring sugar cane cakes ... and some things. Women will prepare zongzi, jiaozi, cakes, sweets and so on. There are two chickens for the groom to take home. In the morning, the bride will pick up the southern family at 3 pm and then leave. The bride and groom go back to the bride's house for tea, and then go to the south room. The most important thing is that the woman's sister-in-law can't attend the wedding banquet and eat at Nanjia. It's a custom. ..

Generally, old Suzhou people will pay a small amount of dowry and gold and silver jewelry when they get engaged. Only when they are about to get married will they pay a large dowry, because the groom's family has to prepare a house, decorate it and buy a bed, while the bride's purchase of household appliances and daily necessities depends on the financial situation of the two families. If possible, the bride's dowry will also have a car. According to the market price, the bride probably won't have any money left after buying those things. It's up to you.

In addition, if the family's economy is good, you can post some money. After all, your parents are just your daughters, and if the dowry is too much, your parents' faces will be polished.
