The man's dowry:
According to the old man, the man should prepare 10 when he is hired, which means that after the "perfect" woman arrives at the bride price, except the bride price, the remaining half should be returned to the man.
Engagement fee:
33,000 yuan or13,000 yuan (the ending of the bride price must be "3", which is homophonic with "sheng" in Fuzhou dialect, symbolizing that both parties have children after marriage).
Wedding price:
A cock and a hen (the woman returns the hen) and a pig leg (the woman returns the pig's trotters).
A leg of lamb (the woman retired her hoof) and two red silver carp? A pack of dried fish? Dry 2 packets
A woman's dowry:
The suitcase (usually two, meaning yes-men) contains some ordinary clothes and the dowry given by the woman's parents to her daughter.
Dolls, a pair of dolls, a man and a woman, are auspicious, which means more children and more happiness.
Make some electrical appliances for your new home (according to your personal situation and needs)
Plastic buckets, plastic flowers and vases (for decorating new houses): plastic flowers should be white and red to represent men and women, and the bride should hold a bunch of flowers in her hand before going out. Strangely, I often see spittoons in many dowry, and I don't know what they are used for.
Red umbrella: When picking up the bride, the bridesmaid holds a red umbrella for the bride to go out and get on and off. This umbrella should be brand-new, without a trademark, and its color can be red or pink. This is also an old auspicious saying, such as avoiding disasters and evil spirits.
Pick up relatives:
If the woman's home is in Fuzhou or has her own dormitory, pick it up at home. If the bride lives in the bride's house, she should avoid the wedding day, or rent a house in the hotel, pick her up from the hotel, or pick her up directly from the makeup shop. If the man's elders don't mind, even the procedure of "meeting people" is omitted, and you are directly welcomed by the hotel in the afternoon (I think "meeting people" is essential because it is the most interesting part of marriage).
When a daughter in Fuzhou gets married, she must go to the man's house at 12 am. Generally, brides will set off to pick up relatives before 9 am 10. When the bride enters the door, the bridesmaid will open an umbrella for the bride, and the door will be opened by the bridesmaid.
Eat peacefully. When the groom arrives at the bride's house, the couple must eat a bowl of Taiping. When the bride receives the man's house, she still wants to eat a bowl of Taiping, indicating peace (there are two safe eggs in Pingli, usually one is left, indicating peace together).
Make the bed:
Fuzhou people want the elders of the man's family to make the bed for the new house. The elders should choose their parents and have complete children, which means that the new couple can be as happy as the elders (my father makes the bed for a couple ~ haha) and then find 1 or two smart and beautiful boys to roll around in the new bed, which means that beautiful boys will be born in the future. If they like to have girls, they can find a man and a woman, or just roll around with girls.
Meet the elders (this is the most interesting time to get married): From 3 pm to 4 pm, newlyweds will start to meet the elders, old people and relatives who have seen things and ask for red envelopes. Fuzhou people are called "Jiantang"
In the evening, the relatives and friends of the couple get together for a wedding banquet and a banquet. Sometimes I have seen relatives of my peers on the wine table. At that time, I could still get a red envelope.
