Wuhu marriage custom

Wuhu folk concept, the two sides handled the marriage certificate, but not really married. It takes some ceremonies and banquets to be considered "a great event". Since the 1980s, weddings have gradually become luxurious. Before the wedding, you usually have to buy a house, decorate your new house, and take a whole set of wedding photos in the photo studio. Accept gifts from relatives and friends and issue wedding invitations. On the wedding day, the groom's family will send a motorcade (at least one car) to the bride's house to pick up the bride's dowry (some dowry will be delivered to the new house a few days in advance), or the groom will go by himself or entrust his relatives and friends to pick it up. The groom and his party set off firecrackers in front of the bride's house (in recent years, they also changed to put broken balloons) and stuffed red envelopes into the door. On this day, the groom wears a suit and the bride wears a white gauze skirt (commonly known as "wedding dress").

Wedding banquets in Wuhu are all in the evening, usually in a high-class hotel. The bride and groom greeted the guests at the gate of the hotel early and offered a cigarette. Banquets are a little particular, such as meatballs, which means a happy marriage. After this dish is served, the bride and groom should propose a toast on each wine table and accept the blessings of relatives and friends. Then the bride and groom leave early and go back to their residence. At this time, the bride usually changes clothes and greets the guests who make trouble in the new house with the groom. The main troublemakers in the new house are colleagues and friends of the same age of the bride and groom.
