Wedding detailed process

With the popularity and rise of tourism marriage, many young couples in China will choose this way to get married in recent years. But do you all know the specific process of traveling and getting married? Let's take a look at the tourist wedding process and arrange a note!

Engagement etiquette

To a certain extent, both men and women agree to choose each other as life partners and are generally engaged. At this time, the introducer communicates the situation of both parties and agrees on the bride price (mainly clothes and money). When engaged, it is often the man who, accompanied by his elders, brings the pre-agreed bride price to the woman's house. This situation is also called "visiting at home". "Visiting children" is also called "paying bride price" or "paying bride price".

People generally pay more attention to "visiting children". During the "door-to-door visit", the woman's relatives, friends and elders were present, and several tables of banquets were set up. After the "bride price", the man will get the "kitchen money" for this table banquet. After liberation, the engagement ceremony was once very simple. Some men and women agree to be partners for life, take an engagement photo and exchange souvenirs with each other. Some men invited the lady, her parents and referees to their home, held a banquet, and gave her gifts and money after dinner.

Nowadays, the engagement process has been gradually valued, and some men and women hold engagement ceremonies separately. When visiting children, it is mainly the man who gives the bride price to the woman. In addition, both parties usually buy each other a set of high-grade clothes and shoes. The man gave the woman "three golds", namely, gold rings, gold earrings and gold necklaces. According to their own conditions, the old man also gave 99 yuan or 999 yuan to the future "daughter-in-law" as a "meeting gift", with the intention of giving it to the future "daughter-in-law". Now the quotation of "10 1" or "100 1" also means one percent or one thousandth. The woman also gave the man a gold ring. When engaged, the introducer is often present, and the bride price is handled by the introducer. Besides the dowry, jewelry and money should also be given at the wedding. )

In the future, if one party does not agree to "divorce" (that is, "divorce"), then the bride price will be treated according to the custom of "divorce": if the man proposes "divorce", he is not allowed to ask for the bride price and property given to the woman during the "visit"; If it is proposed by the woman, the dowry and property paid by the man must be returned in full at the time of "home visit". At this time, the introducer played the role of a notary here.

It should be said that from the beginning of "visiting", even if the marriage relationship between the two families is formally settled, it will generally not be easy to go back on our word.

After the engagement, both men and women can go to each other's house at will from dating behind their backs to getting along openly and fairly, and have frequent contact and deepen their understanding. Love has entered a new stage.

Wedding etiquette

When a man and a woman are in love, they reach the legal age of marriage. If both parties agree to get married, they can go to the medical and health department designated by the government for physical examination. After passing the examination, they can go through the marriage registration formalities in the civil affairs department of the government, get a marriage certificate, and then hold a wedding. Holding a wedding, commonly known as "holding a happy event", is the most grand and exquisite wedding ceremony. Although the government has repeatedly advocated thrift, it often does a lot of things.

Set a wedding date

The traditional etiquette is that the man looks for someone to "see the day", chooses "auspicious day", determines the wedding date, and then informs the woman directly or through an introducer. Once the wedding date is set, it will not be changed easily. This change is considered to be unfavorable to the man's parents. Nowadays, the date of marriage is often decided by both parties. Wedding dates are generally chosen on holidays, such as May 1 ST, July 1 ST, August 1 ST, November 1 ST, New Year's Day and other festive and memorable days. Because there are holidays, there is time. Many people choose the day when the solar calendar and the lunar calendar meet in pairs. There are also homophones for good luck, such as June 6th (June 6th), August 8th (development), September 9th (everlasting), May 17th (I want a wife), May 27th (I love my wife) and September 17th (I want a wife). Due to the influence of feudal superstition, some people also find someone to choose a special day.

Get ready before marriage

After the wedding date is determined, it is necessary to purchase furniture, household appliances, decorate new houses, buy wedding dresses, choose wedding dresses and take wedding commemorative photos. Both parties designate the best man and maid of honor, notify relatives and friends, and the host (usually the man) will book hotels and vehicles, and hire the host and guest to make video recording, photography, salute, band, wedding venue and other matters.

Remember the wedding procedure on the wedding day?

I. Preparatory work

1. The bride is accompanied by a bridesmaid to make up (at home, in a wedding photo studio or in a beauty shop). At the same time, the groom got up and prepared the red envelopes of the day (about 5). The groom and the best man joined the car and the motorcade and began to tie the float.

The motorcade set out for the bride's house. (The team usually has a camera car or a leader car first, then a float, and then a team. The bride's family should be prepared for the motorcade, and cover the horse gourd (usually within 30 meters of the door) before the motorcade arrives 10 minutes.

When the motorcade arrived at the bride's house, the groom shouted to open the door. Usually the bride's sister or friend makes things difficult for the groom and then opens the door. The groom should give the troublemaker a red envelope in time to show his gratitude.

4. The groom took photos after seeing the bride, and then came out to ask the groom to call mom and dad, and then received a big red envelope! (Generally, the family gives 999 yuan, and the husband's family gives 100 1 yuan). Then a couple of newlyweds and the best man and bridesmaid eat jiaozi, and jiaozi must have an even number, and then take photos with their families.

Second, arrive at the man's house

The motorcade started from her mother's house to her new home. Before leaving, the bride and sister should bring two red pots (including mirrors, combs and special steamed buns). After the motorcade arrived, the new family arranged for people to set off firecrackers at the door to celebrate. Then the groom's sister (if no unmarried female friend is found) takes over the washbasin in the bride's sister's hand. The groom on the lower floor will take the bride upstairs, and the one on the higher floor will be exempted (I enjoyed the treatment, hehe). After entering, the bride called her parents and received a big red envelope! Then the bride's brother helps nail the curtain, and the groom will give a red envelope. Then a couple took photos in the new house and left for the hotel in about 30-40 minutes.

Third, arrive at the hotel

Usually, the best man opens the door, and the groom first appears in front of everyone, and then helps the bride out according to the arrangement of photography. Then friends and relatives at the door can bombard the couple. At the door, you can hold ceremonies such as stepping on balloons, releasing pigeons, releasing balloons, scattering petals or colored paper, and then everyone will gather together, and the couple will rest in the lounge and everyone will be seated.

Fourth, the wedding ceremony

Since each host has his own style, he can communicate with the host according to his own ideas. The best ceremony is to hurry. Less games, less pleasantries, and the earlier the food is served, the happier the guests will be. The specific problem depends on the specific grasp of the newcomer. After the ceremony, it usually ends with a glass of wine, a champagne tower and a piece of cut cake. Then the newlyweds change clothes, the wedding reception begins, and then the newlyweds come out to propose a toast, smoke and bake candy (usually leaders of both sides-VIPs-elders of both sides-relatives-colleagues-friends and classmates).

Verb (abbreviation for verb) wedding banquet

As long as the last minute of the wedding reception is 8, it is good luck. It should be noted that the time written on the invitation must be earlier, otherwise some guests will arrive on time according to the time on the invitation, which will affect the "attendance rate" of the wedding reception. After the wedding reception, the bride and groom need to toast table by table.

Sixth, the end.

Relatives and friends started quarreling in the bridal chamber and finally left. The wedding process is over.
