What should I pay attention to on my wedding day?

The bride and groom are the natural protagonists of the wedding and the focus in the eyes of the guests. Whether the whole wedding can be successfully completed depends on the guests' impression of the bride and groom. Therefore, it is very important for the bride and groom to be considerate and decent at the wedding. Generally speaking, the following points should be noted:

Dress up: The bride and groom should pay special attention to their appearance when they get married. They can make up properly, do their hair well and keep radiant. The groom usually wears a suit and tie, and the bride usually wears a wedding dress. Wear necklaces, earrings and other accessories appropriately, but not too much, so as not to be tacky.

Welcome: the bride and groom should stand at the door with flowers in their hands to greet the guests, and should not walk back and forth; When the guests arrive, they should be warmly welcomed and thanked, introduced to the elders or other guests at home in time, and then offered their seats in turn according to their elders or generations. For the red envelopes given by the guests at this time, no matter whether the gifts are light or heavy, the bride and groom should express their gratitude equally. Offer cigarettes and tea in both hands and light a fire for the elders or peers who smoke.

Talking and laughing: be sincere and humble when talking to your elders, and don't talk nonsense; Speak warmly and politely with peers, and pay attention to humility; Don't stop laughing and don't be silent; Be warm and friendly to the younger generation.

Sit up straight and walk: don't sit on the sofa askew, let alone cross your legs. When standing and talking, keep your back straight, and don't shake or move around frequently. Don't walk slowly, like walking, but don't run around. You can run at a brisk pace, but you should pay attention to your walking posture and rhythm.

Cooperate with each other: at the wedding, the bride and groom go out in pairs, so it is best not to act separately. In terms of mutual cooperation, we should pay attention to etiquette, such as introducing elders or equal relatives and friends to each other; When walking together, the two sides should not be too far away, but they should not be too close; If guests make trouble, they should help each other. When seated, the bride should be seated first.

The wedding reception begins: the bride and groom should go to the guest table in order to propose a toast to the guests. When making a toast, you should fill it with your own hands and hold it for the guests with both hands, but don't force the guests to drink it all at once. After the guest puts down the glass, the bride and groom should say "thank you", fill the glass for the guest again, and then propose a toast to the next guest. The bride and groom should take good care of the guests at the wedding reception, let relatives and friends eat, drink and leave happily. Don't eat and drink by yourself, or even get drunk on the spot. This is impolite. When making a toast to a guest, even if you can't drink enough, you should show a little, at least raise your glass to thank you and explain why you can't drink too much.

After the wedding reception: when the guests leave, the bride and groom should stand at the door, shake hands with the guests and say "thank you for coming" and "please walk slowly".

Hold a wedding banquet

The wedding is over and the festive banquet begins. The new parents have their own new seats, and the new seats are in the right position. At this time, the bride will open an account. During the dinner, the band played music, the guests sang and entertained, the chef added vegetables to the new relatives, and the new relatives rewarded the chef.

At the wedding reception, the bride and groom, accompanied by the host and the groomsman and bridesmaid, propose a toast and light cigarettes to the guests. When toasting, the bride and groom propose a toast to the bride and light a cigarette in order of seniority. When toasting other guests, if there are many guests, the host requires one or two representatives from each table to be lit by the bride and groom. After the couple broke up with the guests, the man's family saw them off at the gate of the hotel.

have a family reunion dinner

After the guests left, the groom's house was surrounded, the bride toasted her in-laws, and the man's house had a reunion dinner.

In the evening, you should light the wedding wax brought back from your mother's house and put the green onions in the new house. The bride and groom want to eat jiaozi and noodles. Jiaozi is called Descendants jiaozi, and noodles are called Longevity Noodles (some are also called Comfort Noodles). Then I started to make trouble in the bridal chamber. The traditional custom of making trouble in the bridal chamber is that the bride and groom's sister-in-law and aunt make bedding for the couple, and at the same time throw dates, chestnuts (meaning that your son has a baby early), peanuts (meaning that the girl's son arranges flowers), soybeans (meaning that there are many children and likes golden beans) and wooden piers (meaning that the children grow strong) on the bride and groom's bed. Now, on the wedding night, there are many programs for young people and the bride and groom to play together. They are very creative and interesting. Often stay up late into the night until the bride and groom repeatedly beg for mercy.

Matters needing attention in wedding:

1, the wedding personnel and wedding vehicles are singular when they go and singular when they return (intended to be paired). When you arrive at the woman's house, go back to the new house, turn inward (plan not to go out), and don't take the repeated route (plan to get married this time).

2. Four bride price gifts are hung in red packages, and axes and weights are wrapped in red cloth.

3. When the bride and groom wear red ribbons, they should not tie knots.

4. Before the ceremony, the bride and groom get off the bus and immediately get off the bus (this time they plan to get married and get the car).

5, like wax, don't blow it out (meaning that life is old, life and death are together, don't blow it away).

6. When the bride grabs the blessing, try to catch it, but don't catch it completely (meaning to leave the blessing).

7. When the happiness car returns to the happiness car, crosses the intersection or crosses the bridge, the bride waves a red handkerchief outside the window (meaning to add happiness to happiness).

8. Cover the manhole cover near the new house with red paper.

The most important thing about the wedding is whether the specific procedures are proper. To do this, we should try our best to be both reasonable and "polite".

At present, there are two kinds of new weddings in China: family weddings and group weddings. The procedures and steps of the two are somewhat different.

(1) Family Wedding

Family wedding refers to a small wedding held by newlyweds in their own homes or other places, inviting relatives and friends from both sides to participate. There are six main steps.

One is to announce marriage. If possible, you can play or play the Wedding March and set off firecrackers. At the same time, in the applause and cheers of the guests, the bride and groom stepped into the scene.

Second, bow and salute. Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, newlyweds should bow to their parents or other elders first, then to all the guests and finally to each other.

Third, the witness speaks. Its main content is to briefly introduce the love process between couples and wish each other happiness after marriage. Sometimes it can be replaced by reading the marriage certificate and declaring the marriage of the newlyweds legal.

Fourth, the elders speak. Couples of parents or other elders may be invited to make impromptu speeches to congratulate the bride and groom.

Fifth, it is a newcomer to speak. The bride and groom should be invited to speak in turn. Thank you to all the guests. Sometimes, entertainment programs can be performed by newlyweds together.

Sixth, the wedding banquet begins. The bride and groom should start from the main table and propose a toast to the guests table by table. The wedding is over.

(2) Collective wedding

A group wedding is a large-scale wedding organized by several couples in public places. There are eight basic procedures.

One is to announce marriage. Play music or set off firecrackers.

Second, all the newcomers are seated. At this time, all couples should line up, men left and women right, holding hands with each other. Amid the music, applause and rain, they slowly stepped into the stadium and took their seats on the rostrum.

Third, it is the newcomer who bows and salutes. If possible, newcomers should bow to their elders, witnesses and guests one by one, and finally bow to each other. This item can also be simplified to bow to all guests first, and then bow to each other.

Fourth, the witness speaks. Its content is to declare the marriage of the new couple legal and valid, and to express hope and congratulations.

Fifth, parents' representatives speak. Its focus is to thank the guests and put forward hopes and demands for all newcomers.

Sixth, the speech of the new representative. The main content is to thank everyone, but also to show the determination of newlyweds to grow old together.

Seventh, it is to give gifts to newcomers. The organizer of the group wedding will present commemorative gifts to all the newlyweds one by one.
