1. Your question is too broad. Do you mean the preparation before marriage or the process on the wedding day? You can add questions and I'll answer you later.
2. The bride price can communicate with each other's parents. Since the other parents agree to your marriage, the bride price is just a gesture. According to the family situation, there are 20,000-65,438+10,000, and the man is also responsible for the cost of buying a house and the wedding banquet. Of course, these are not absolute, hehe.
There is a custom of engagement in the south, but the customs vary from place to place. For example, in Wenzhou, engagement is more grand than marriage. Xin 'anjiang generally has no special ceremony, as long as both parents agree.
I hope my answer can help you.
