Nantong has the strongest marriage customs.

Our country has a history of thousands of years, and many cultures have been passed down. In ancient times, marriage was very particular. Although many modern customs have disappeared, a large part of them have remained, and everyone pays more attention to them. However, because the local customs and cultures are somewhat different, it is necessary for everyone to know about the local customs before getting married. Let's share the wedding customs in Nantong today.

Nantong marriage custom

1. Get married in Nantong. Before going out to marry the bride, the man needs to worship his ancestors and tell them that you are getting married.

2. The wedding team in Nantong pays attention to even numbers, especially multiples of 6.

On the way to the wedding car parade in Nantong, we need to set off firecrackers all the way to celebrate, which means to drive away bad things.

When the limousine arrives at the woman's house, a boy will wait for the groom with a tea tray. At this time, the groom will get off the bus, give the boy a red envelope as a gift, and then enter the woman's house.

After the groom meets the woman's home to say hello, the bride's sister or female friend will invite the man to drink sweet tea and give the woman a red envelope.

6. The bride should insert ears of rice and red flowers on her head. After the groom presented the bouquet, the matchmaker pulled the bride out of the hall.

7. The bride and groom burn incense to worship their ancestors. The bride should bow to her parents to say goodbye, and the groom can only bow.

8. The bride should be led by a highly blessed female elder with a bamboo curtain, or if the bride is pregnant, she should be escorted to the limousine, because the status of the bride is greater than anyone else that day, because her head can't hold on to the sky, and she hopes to live a happy life like this female elder.

9. There is a bamboo hanging from root to leaf above the car, with pork and a packet of red envelopes hanging from the root. Behind the car, there are bagua bamboo ornaments with ink paintings on them, which are just covered by the bride to drive away the unknown on the road.

10, the bride got on the limousine and set off. A little boy picked up the rice jar placed in the bride's house, and the bride had two fans, which were glued around with red paper. Some places are used to tying red envelopes to fans, but our custom is to put red paper circles on them, so it is useless to throw away fans and have a bad temper.

1 1. Don't say goodbye and don't look back: when everyone is leaving the woman's house, don't say goodbye and don't look back at her house.

12. After the bride gets on the limousine, the bride's parents will sprinkle a washbasin with water, indicating that her daughter spilled water, wishing her success.

13. On the way from the woman's house to the man's house, salute was fired. When the car arrived at the man's house, the family set off a "cannon city" to celebrate the good news.

14. When the limousine arrives, the matchmaker will greet the couple with two orange children. The bride should gently touch the orange and then give a red envelope as a gift. These two oranges should be left for the bride to peel at night, which means that they can bring "longevity".

15. When the bride comes out of the limousine, a blessed elder of the man will hold a bamboo curtain or a black umbrella over her head and help her into the hall.

16, the threshold represents the facade, so newcomers should never step on the threshold, but cross it.

17. When the bride enters the hall, she should step over the brazier and crush the tiles. Passing through the brazier means to ward off evil spirits, and stepping on broken tiles means "the past is like broken tiles".

18, couples worship heaven and earth, couples worship Gaotang and send them to the bridal chamber.

19, the couple took the groom's pants and sat on a bench in advance, saying that they would unite from now on and have a boy in the future. Then the groom lifted the bride's veil, and they drank a toast together, eating sweet soup made of black dates, peanuts, longan and lotus seeds, symbolizing "early birth".

20. On the wedding day in Nantong, pay attention to the fact that no one can sit in the new bed, and neither can the bride. She can't lie in the wedding car to avoid being ill in bed all the year round.
