1, matchmaking
Matchmaking is a very important link in ancient marriage customs, but now there is no such link in most areas, and men and women are generally free to fall in love. But in Zhejiang, this custom has always been preserved. Even if boys and girls are free to fall in love, they will send a matchmaker to the woman's house after they have the will to get married. This is because many people in Zhejiang moved here in the Southern Song Dynasty, so this custom has been preserved.
Step 2 date
Engagement is becoming more and more popular now. Many young people begin to hold engagement ceremonies before they get married, but engagement is not a necessary part. In Zhejiang, engagement is an essential part. And engagement is not just about parents sitting together for dinner, but also a lot of attention. First of all, the date of engagement needs to be carefully chosen and chosen. Then invite friends and relatives to have a drink at home and get to know each other. On the day of engagement, the two sides will also discuss the content of the wedding date and bride price to prepare for the wedding.
Step 3 hire
Bridal price is that the man sends the bride price to the woman's home, which is also a necessary part of marriage. Although the requirements for employment are not as strict as before, there is no need to standardize all kinds of small objects. But in Zhejiang, the employer will still choose a good day, and then the man will take the things agreed by both parties to the woman's house, which means that both parties agree to this marriage. Zhejiang bride price is generally around 6,543,800 yuan, depending on individual family economic situation.
4. Dowry
The man prepared a bride price for the woman, and the woman naturally needed to prepare some dowry. In Zhejiang, a woman's dowry is very generous, and the bride price given by the man is generally returned in whole or in part. If it is a woman with good family conditions, she will also marry valuables such as cars. There are also some Zhejiang areas that will take the bride price given by the man to buy home appliances and furniture, and then send them to the new house as a dowry. It should be noted that the wedding bed must be prepared by the man, which is a tradition in Zhejiang. The woman needs to prepare a quilt and have peanuts in her dowry, which means having children early.
5. Wedding ceremony
The custom of wedding in Zhejiang is similar to that in other areas, and cars are used to celebrate the wedding. However, in some areas of Zhejiang, some people still like to greet their families with sedan chairs, which are both environmentally friendly and creative. No matter what kind of wedding, it should be noted that the number of people in the wedding team must be even, which means yes man. The wedding car must also be even and cannot be empty. It is best to have a lucky time for the wedding banquet, and the wedding banquet route should be planned in advance.
6. Go back to the door
Huimen is a marriage custom in every place, and the time of Huimen is generally the third day after marriage. The bride's family usually holds a back door banquet, and the couple had better wear festive clothes. According to the tradition in Zhejiang, the groom needs to give a speech at the back door banquet, express his gratitude to the guests and make a guarantee to the bride's parents. Only in this way can the bride's parents safely give their daughter to the groom and formally start their marriage life.
