How to get married in Lianjiang Village, Zhanjiang

1. Marriage Procedures When getting married before the founding of the People's Republic of China, parents first looked for a well-matched partner for their children and asked a matchmaker to arrange a marriage. The girl's family would write down the date, month, day and hour of their daughter's birth on red paper, commonly known as "Nian Geng". .

2. Ask a matchmaker to go to the groom’s house to hear the omen, and select a date with the consent of both parents. The groom will prepare the engagement ceremony.

3. There are also gift cards and Geng cards sent to the bride’s family as the basis for the engagement. This ceremony is called "Wending Napin".

4. When a man is 18 to 22 years old and a woman is 17 to 21 years old, it is up to her parents to prepare for marriage. The man's family asks the horoscope gentleman to choose an auspicious day, which is called "looking at the date", and the matchmaker sends the "auspicious date" to the girl's family, which is called "sending a date sheet". After the girl's parents agreed, they put forward certain conditions to the man and agreed on the price of the betrothal gift. The man followed the instructions and asked someone to send the gifts and items to the girl's family, which was called "excessive gift". After the bride's family receives the "marriage consummation" gift, the groom's family can send a sedan to welcome the bride on the determined auspicious day.
