Additional explanation of intransitive verbs

The day before the wedding, the bride and groom don't meet, and happy words are posted on windows, cabinets, boxes and other places, and everything the woman gets married should be posted. There should be daily necessities such as quilts, pillowcases, quilt covers, brushing jars, and the bride's red clothes from the inside out, and a red suitcase should be prepared with a dowry list and bottom money in it.

On the wedding day, the bride should do her hair early, and after changing her wedding dress, don't get out of bed and wait for the arrival of the groom without touching the ground. After the groom came in, he gave the bouquet to the bride and tried to get her to accept it by putting in a good word. When the bride receives the bouquet, the groom should start looking for shoes.

Wear shoes, and the bride and groom should recognize their loved ones. At this time, the groom should call his parents and change the fee for the groom. If the bride has brothers and sisters, she will change her mind and the groom will pay for it. Then, the younger siblings put corsages on the bride and groom, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen put corsages on each other. Then, take photos with relatives and friends. The bride can't cover her feet with a red handkerchief and step on the ground. When going downstairs, the bride's feet should not touch the ground, but should be held by the groom or carried on the float.

When walking on the road, bridesmaids should take out handkerchiefs prepared in advance and throw handkerchiefs in front of each other when they meet parade floats on the road.

In the man's house, the groom will also carry the bride upstairs. After the bride changes her clothes (note: the wedding dress and shoes must be replaced, and the shoes can't be worn in the future), she should open the box. The person who opens the box is the bride's brother or nephew. Don't forget to ask for a red envelope. Open the suitcase. It's big. After unpacking, read out the dowry and take out the bottom money. At this time, the mother-in-law and father-in-law will double the money at the bottom of the closet and put it in a box to lock it up. Then, like the woman's family, she changed her mouth.

On the way to the hotel, bridesmaids have to prepare handkerchiefs. At the hotel, if there is another wedding, the bridesmaid must get off the bus first and put a red handkerchief with a thimble into the other bride's hand. Be the first person to resist each other's happiness!
