In Jiaozuo's wedding custom, after the two sides decide the wedding date, the man will entrust the matchmaker to give the red post and hundreds of prickly heat to the woman, and the woman will distribute these prickly heat to relatives and friends to eat. In some places, dragon and phoenix cakes or meat will be presented, which can be determined through consultation between the two parties to show good intentions.

On the wedding day, the man should bring a lunch box, also called "rice gift box", which means "good luck", and there should also be "meat from mother" in the lunch box, which is also a first-class gift, mainly to let the bride marry into her husband's family with peace of mind and avoid the excessive sadness of her mother. In Jiaozuo's wedding custom, there is also the ceremony of "framing" by the woman. Usually relatives and friends bring some rice, vermicelli and other gifts to see the married girl. In some places, neighbors gave girls jiaozi, and they cooked jiaozi to eat together, symbolizing the blessings of relatives and friends to the bride.

When holding a wedding, the man will bring a rooster to the woman's house, and then bring a hen back from the woman's house. Because "chicken" and "auspicious" have the same pronunciation, which is a good sign of good luck. Besides, before the girl got married, she prepared a take-away meal at home and took it away in a sedan chair or car on the wedding day. Some carry-on foods include vegetables, meat, noodles and jiaozi, as well as "rich steamed buns". Moreover, the man has to eat thousands of cakes at the wedding banquet, which means that he can always treat his wife wholeheartedly in his married life.
