Pick up relatives:

On the first day of marriage, the man's family should prepare more than two decorated wedding cars to come to the woman's house to pick up the bride and dowry, which is also called picking up relatives. The groom's wedding car arrives at the woman's house, and the woman's house will set off firecrackers. After that, the groom can enter the woman's house. The groom will also bring the bride's flowers and fine cigarettes to the bride's house. When you see the bride, give her the bouquet. At the same time, cigarettes were generously distributed to the woman's family. When the couple are at the woman's house, after meeting their ancestors, they should eat Taiping (note: Taiping's soup must be chicken. And the bride should eat slowly, preferably not faster than the groom. After eating too much, the newlyweds took their dowry to get married. Before the newlyweds go out, the bride's house will also set off firecrackers. After that, the newlyweds can walk out of the bride's house. When the bride walks out of the woman's house, never look back. She should move forward happily. Even if she forgets something, she can't turn back. She should let someone else get it. From the time the bride leaves the house to get on the bus, the bridesmaid will open the umbrella for the bride when she picks up the plane, and the bridesmaid will be responsible for opening the door. The wedding car began to leave, and the woman's house had to set off firecrackers again. When a daughter gets married in Fuzhou, she must go to the man's house at 12 am. Generally, brides will set off to pick up relatives before 9 am 10.

Eat Taiping: When the groom goes to the woman's house, the couple must eat a bowl of Taiping. After the bride receives the man's home, she will also eat another bowl of Taiping. It means to stay safe. According to Fuzhou tradition, before meeting family members, newlyweds should eat Taiping chicken noodles and the groom should eat the head of the chicken, which means that the head of the household and the bride should eat chicken wings and feet. In Fuzhou dialect, this means that it is more blessed to keep a good house and have more children. There are two Taiping eggs in the Taiping plane. Usually eat one and leave one, which means that the family is safe together.

Make the bed: Fuzhou people want the elders of the man's family to make the bed of the new house, and the elders should choose their parents. A whole set of children means that newcomers can be as happy as this elder. Then find 1 or two clever and beautiful little boys to roll in the new bed, hoping to have a beautiful baby boy in the future. If you like having a girl, find a man and a woman, or just find a girl to roll around. Remember to give each child a red envelope.
