I attended a wedding in guanxian, Liaocheng. Very lively. Write down the process and play with everyone! !
The bride and groom were introduced by the matchmaker. Nowadays, most of the rural areas are in free love, and there are fewer and fewer introductions. ) but before the introduction, I knew that they were primary school classmates.
Some time before the wedding, the bride's family has prepared the wedding dress, and she will bring it to the man's family on the wedding day. What the man prepared was: a new house, a bed and other supplies. A few days before the wedding, the bride needs a maid of honor and a makeup artist. Bridesmaids are usually from their own yard (immediate or collateral relatives).
On the morning of the wedding, the groom's family first drove to the bride's house to pull the wedding dress (the groom didn't come this time). After pulling the wedding dress away, the groom and his party came to the bride's house in a mighty manner. After entering the bride's home, you should personally bring flowers to the bride, and the woman should be ready to give them a happy expression. Then the groom and the woman's family took a group photo. In winter, the bride usually wears a red suit inside and a wedding dress outside. The wedding dress is covered with two pieces of red silk (some of them are covered with one piece). The bride wants to leave her family, crying sadly and not wanting to leave. When the bride gets on the bus, she must put on a new pair of shoes before getting on the bus. Then she went all the way back to the groom's house. Remember that the way back must be different from the way she came, and she can't go back. Brides should take with them: bronze mirrors and candy. On the way, the bride turned the bronze mirror forward to ward off evil spirits.
Arriving at the bride's house, the groom took the bride from the car to the yard. There are many people in the man's yard, and there are two chairs on the top of the yard for the groom's parents to sit on. They held a ceremony in the yard: one worshiped heaven and earth, the other worshipped parents, and the husband and wife worshipped each other. Halfway through the ceremony, many people quarreled with the bride and groom, asking them to hug each other, and others came running to push them together. If it gets louder and louder,
Then the bride enters the wedding room, and the people inside close the door and don't let her in, which poses a problem for the bride and groom. Let the groom pick up the bride, or rather, lift the bride for the people inside to see. Entering the wedding room, it was noisy again. After a while, the bride kowtowed to everyone, but it was not a knock. The old lady shouted her name and finally bowed. After kowtowing, that's enough. Finally, she paid an integer to the bride. After all this, she began to eat, and the chef invited by the groom's family cooked at home. Every village has such a chef, and his craft is very good. During the dinner, the groom and several people took turns toasting, but the groom didn't drink. Later, the parents of both sides got together and served good food and tea when they met, but no one could move except watching. This is a custom, I don't know what it is.
Then the bride and her parents go home and wait for the groom to pick her up at night. After she came back, she entered the wedding stage. I didn't attend and couldn't see the excitement of the night. A busy day passed, and then every day people in the man's yard invited the bride to dinner and shared pictures.
