Wedding customs are different in every place, and so are many places in Chongqing. For example, there are some differences between districts and counties and the main city. Some brides are from Chongqing, grooms are from other places, or grooms are from Chongqing. So the customs are different. Some customs are also related to families, some families don't pay much attention to them, and some families attach great importance to them, so we should ask more questions and communicate more according to our own situation. Stone wedding network has also compiled some experiences shared by netizens here, so you can learn from them.

I'm from Nantong, Jiangsu, and my boyfriend is from dadukou district, Chongqing. I feel that the customs of the two places are very different.
In my hometown, before we get married, we need a grand wedding planning in Chongqing. Relatives and friends should be present, and the man should pay a bride price of 800-65438+10,000 yuan and at least 4 pieces of gold and silver jewelry. The woman's parents and relatives will give gifts to the boys. 1-2 years after the engagement, officially married.
My boyfriend said that Chongqing only has 4 gold, and there is no bride price. Generally, the man will give the woman1-20,000, or even a few thousand. After that, he got married without getting engaged.
In addition, the new house for marriage is jointly purchased by both parties. If the man has no money, it doesn't matter if the woman has more. But in our custom, houses are for men, not women. Now that the house price is too high, it is too difficult for ordinary people to buy a house, but the man is still required to pay at least a down payment. How much does the woman pay for buying a house? That's another story.
I feel that the difference between the two places is still a bit big. My boyfriend said that my bride price was too high and asked my family to make a down payment. I feel wronged, too. This is a custom in my family. Who married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a daughter is so colorful. After my family accepted 6.5438 million yuan, it was still used to buy a house together, and my family didn't take a penny. I'll pay the dowry myself, and I won't touch this 65438+ ten thousand.

1: It depends on where it is done. Do as Romans do in Rome.
2. Dowry
In Chongqing, the man pays attention to "three gold and one silver" as a bride price, that is, the jewelry given by the man to the woman includes necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets (usually brought on the wedding day)! As for the engagement fee, discuss it among yourselves. If the man is in good condition, give him more (equivalent to cattle and sheep in the old society)!
Step 3 marry him
The bride's family prepares bedding and other daily necessities as dowry. On the wedding day, the bride's family will give the groom a red envelope, usually 999,9999, which means one in a thousand, one in a thousand! As for what to buy for the man, it seems that they all buy watches now. . .
These are the most basic pressures in Chongqing. In fact, you can also discuss these yourself.
PS: As for the house decoration, the wedding banquet is basically arranged by the man, which is different from the above! Nowadays, many people give money directly, and then the young couple pack up their things and buy them themselves!
3. What are the wedding customs in Chongqing?
1, Tujia people's "crying marriage"
Weeping marriage is a traditional art of Tujia nationality with a long history. Tujia girls began to learn to cry and marry at the age of twelve or thirteen. It is said that girls who don't cry can't get married, which was relatively closed and backward in the past.
When Tujia girls are dissatisfied with the arranged marriage, they will produce all kinds of crying words to complain and complain. Now Tujia people are as free as other nationalities in marriage and love, and the phenomenon of crying marriage has gradually emerged and developed into a rich cultural phenomenon.
Step 2 make trouble in the bridal chamber
Making trouble in the bridal chamber is a wedding custom that has existed since ancient times. In Chongqing, having fun in a bridal chamber sometimes plays tricks on new people.
In Tongliang County, Chongqing, not only the newlyweds were fooled, but also the parents of the groom. They have the custom of carrying baskets, sitting on shoulders, drawing faces, dusting the bottom of pots, pretending to be beggars, tying red ropes and carrying bamboo poles. At the end of the day, the couple will be disturbed until they take out red envelopes one by one.
