Wedding reception customs vary from place to place. Let me popularize the customs here in Guangzhou.

In Guangzhou, the opening ceremony is usually held at 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock, but the actual opening time depends on the host family's situation. Generally, the newcomers who are more thoughtful are judged according to the attendance rate of the guests. Some video clips will be prepared before the opening ceremony, and their wedding photos, sweet photos or videos will be played repeatedly, so that the guests can share their pleasure at the moment, and they can also watch the short films for the guests who arrive in advance to pass the time. The newcomer is standing at the door of the banquet hall, waiting for the guests.

at the opening ceremony, the wedding host will drive the atmosphere of the audience and guide the newcomers to enter. At this time, a good host is very important. While everyone is waiting for the opening ceremony, he (she) can make the whole wedding atmosphere reach a climax at once and focus everyone on the new couple. Then there are the speeches of the newlyweds, the speeches of the witnesses and the exchange of rings or drinks between the newlyweds. When these are finished, the dishes are served.

The first dish in Guangzhou custom is roast suckling pig (some are whole pigs and some are assorted dishes). Hotel waiters line up in a row, each with a suckling pig in his hand. When the host gives the order, festive music starts, and waiters file in, one for each table. It's spectacular. Facing the first dish, wedding guests are always very excited, because they have been waiting for hours with an empty stomach. Roasted suckling pig is the best. It's so satisfying that it can't be described in words ...

Then the dishes are served constantly. When the fourth course is served, the couple, accompanied by their parents and a group of brothers and sisters, begin to propose a toast to each table. Some guests will take this opportunity to let the groom drink a full cup. At this time, the brothers and sisters accompanying them will take the initiative to protect the bride and groom, so the groom will consciously choose friends who can drink as the best man and brother ...

The bride goes to change clothes and then offer tea, and the groom can go back to his seat and have a rest (experienced friends will remind the couple to start binge eating when the first dish comes up, and there is basically no chance to eat a few mouthfuls seriously later); When offering tea, the bride leads a group of sisters and children. Every time she arrives at a table, she shouts in Cantonese: Drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea, be rich and glorious, and listen to her wife! Married guests have to go back for a cup of tea (usually 5 yuan, 11 yuan, not capped) to make a good start, so far the basic process of the wedding banquet has been completed; Next, the guests are free to pay back to the couple. If the guests make a lot of noise, the groom should be mentally prepared at this time to prevent being poured down ...

At the end of the wedding banquet, the couple stood at the door to greet the guests, so the whole wedding banquet is over, and the comedy is over! ~

the whole process, frolicking, usually ends around 9: 11 to 9: 31!

I wonder if the customs here in Guangzhou are the same as those in your hometown! ?
