Wedding procedures: wedding preparation, wedding departure, door blocking, marriage proposal, shoes finding, tea offering, going out and returning.
1. Preparation for taking the bride
Before the groom and his party arrive, the bride must finish making up and get ready for the wedding game. So contact the bridesmaid and makeup artist, and then prepare wedding dresses, bouquets and other items. If you need to take a morning gown photo in the morning, you should contact the photographer in advance.
before the groom leaves, he should contact the best man and the motorcade to ensure that everyone can leave on time. At the same time, the groom should dress up himself and the best man, and prepare a red envelope to block the door, confirm the amount in the red envelope, and give the marriage certificate and ring to the best man. Besides, boiled water, tea, teacups, firecrackers, etc. should be prepared at the groom's home, and the relatives of the man's family should also be prepared in advance.
2. Get married and set off
Before the groom sets off from his home, he should decorate the wedding car. Generally speaking, the decoration of the wedding car should be done the day before, mainly because the first car should be dressed better and the motorcade behind it should be decorated slightly. Before leaving, the groom should send each driver a wedding bag with red envelopes and cigarettes inside. Generally speaking, when picking up relatives, try to avoid the rush hour to avoid delaying time and accidents.
3. Door blocking link
After arriving at the bride's home, there is a door blocking link according to the custom, which is to test the groom's action and patience. Generally speaking, the groom should coax the bride's family first. If not, start giving out red envelopes or playing games until the bride's house opens.
Bridesmaid groups and sister groups that block the door are all designed to make things difficult for the bride and make the bride's reception more atmospheric, so the groom must remember that under no circumstances should they blush and be thick-necked. However, bridesmaids and sisters should pay attention to the fact that the door-blocking link should be enough, and the auspicious time for picking up relatives should not be delayed.
4. Propose marriage
When the groom meets the bride, he should give her the bouquet and propose on one knee. Sometimes the groom is asked to read a letter of guarantee to ensure that married life is good for the bride. When the bride takes the bouquet, it will be a very warm and romantic scene.
5. Looking for shoes
Finding wedding shoes is a very important step. Only when you find wedding shoes can you take the bride away! But finding wedding shoes is not a simple matter, depending on the wisdom and popularity of the groom, such as "bribing" bridesmaids or asking family members to help find them together. After finding the wedding shoes, put them on the bride and take her away!
6. Tea-offering session
After the above things are finished, the bride and groom will come to the hall to offer tea to the bride's elders and change their minds. First, the bride's parents, then the bride's grandparents. After offering tea, every elder will give out red envelopes.
7. Going out
When the bride puts on her wedding shoes, she must be carried out by the groom and get on the wedding car. However, some places are carried by the bride's brother, which depends on local customs. When you go out, there are different customs and habits in different places. In some places, you have to wear a red umbrella, and in some places, your aunt and sister-in-law have to avoid it. These are all to be followed.
8. Return link
After getting on the wedding bus, the bride should take an apple and say goodbye to her family. The bride's family will also get on the wedding car together, and the seats in the wedding car are generally arranged according to the main wedding car, including the groom, the bride and the bridesmaid and the best man. The second car is to see the bride off, the third car is to see the bride off, the fourth car is to see the bride off, the fifth car is to see the bride off, and the sixth car is arranged in this order.
It should be noted that the route taken by the wedding car on the return trip is different from the route taken on the way, because it is impossible to go back and try to avoid the bumpy path.
