Fortune-telling double happiness _ What does fortune-telling double happiness mean?

Weddings collect a lot of information, and the wedding customs in Fujian include the following:

Engagement ceremony:

The first step of "Li Guo" is that the matchmaker sends the man's birthday to the woman, and the woman's eighth birthday to the man. Some superstitious parents think that they are responsible for their children's marriage, and often ask the fortune teller to calculate after receiving the red post to see if the "date of birth" of both parties is consistent, if not; Marriage will be reconsidered. Fortunately, most modern people don't believe this, so even if red posts are exchanged, they are often just a form, and some even avoid the form of changing posts. After "changing posts" and "matching eight characters", the matchmaker should choose a good date and get engaged with the man as a gift. Giving gifts is a big deal. In general, the active parties (both men and women) in marriage want to give each other a heavy gift. Generally, the matchmaker will negotiate with both parties in advance, not give as much as the man (or woman) can. Of course, the parents of the man or woman should also try their best to think of each other, strive to be frugal and accept less dowry. After the ceremony, both men and women can agree on a date to go to the local government for a marriage certificate and formally confirm the marriage relationship.

The man's dowry:

The man's parents and matchmaker took the groom to the woman's house to get engaged. Now we can make an engagement appointment at the hotel, and then we can have a light meal. )

The man wants to send: engagement fee: 33,53,000 or 65,438+00,000 3 (the mantissa of the engagement fee must be three words. Fuzhou dialect is homophonic with health, which symbolizes having more children after marriage. Festive and colorful (5 kg 2 packs of candy, 2 big pig legs, 2 big fish, 2 dried fish, 5 kg 2 packs of noodles (noodles should be wrapped in red paper), some red eggs, some apples or oranges, 2 bottles of red wine, 10 feet, two big cockroaches that turn red after cooking, and a pair of live chickens. Men will take the hen back when they go back. At this time, the red rope was tied to the hen's feet. ) some gold (note: it is not necessary to send it when you are engaged, and both parties can negotiate when to send it)

These things should be wrapped in red paper, or put square red paper on the things you send.

The woman replied:

You can prepare a hen and exchange it with the hen that the man gave when he was engaged, so that the man can bring back a pair of chickens (including the cock that the other party originally gave). Some women don't prepare hens in advance at home, but leave the hens given by the man and let the man take them back to the rooster. Must be returned: a set of groom's underwear, a suit and a shirt. The groom has a pair of socks (not white socks) and a gold ring. Among them, "socks and golden pants" means that the groom will develop into a "living treasury" in the future. As for how much gift the woman wants to send to the man, she can return it on the spot at the engagement ceremony or give it to the bride as a dowry when she gets married.

(Remarks: As mentioned above, the woman can return half of the "ten colors" given by the man at the time of engagement. But this "ten-color celebration" is also negotiable. Now many people don't give ten colors, just give them casually. )

The woman's dowry:

First, do some electrical appliances needed for a new home: according to everyone's situation, do it as needed. If the woman has the conditions, it is popular to buy a car. Second, the red suitcase: (generally two, meaning yes-men). The suitcase contains some common clothes and the dowry given by the woman's parents to her daughter.

3. Red Umbrella: When picking up the bride, the bridesmaid holds up the red umbrella for the bride to go out, get on, get off and go out. This umbrella requires a brand-new trademark, and the color can be red or pink. This is also an old saying to pray for good luck, such as blocking disasters and exorcising evil spirits.

1 red plastic bucket: it needs to be wrapped in 3' 3 red cloth (provided by the man).

Five, Xi Wa: A pair of dolls, a man and a woman, auspicious, meaning many children and many blessings. If it is the best gift from the woman's friend, if it is bought by the bride herself, never.

6. 1 children's bathtub, 1 red cosmetic box, a mirror, 2 red towels, a pair of red tooth cups, 2 toothbrushes, 2 horn combs and 2 red washbasins.

Seven, plastic flowers and vases (provided by the man); Plastic flowers, Bai Baihe and red roses, each with nine colors, represent boys and girls, and also symbolize a century of harmony and prosperity.

New house layout:

Stick a pair of couplets on both sides of the door frame, and add a horizontal batch (horizontal batch generally writes the words "husband and wife"); Put a big red double happiness on the door;

Hanging lanterns in the middle of the new house;

Paper-cut big red double happiness characters are pasted on the window, and paper-cut butterfly patterns are pasted on the four corners; Put couplets on both sides of the window;

Hanging calligraphy and painting around the wall;

Kitchen: a pair of couplets at the main entrance, horizontally approved, with the word "Xi" posted on the door; Others: all rooms have the word "hi" on their doors.

Pick up relatives:

On the first day of marriage, the man's family should prepare more than two decorated wedding cars to come to the woman's house to pick up the bride and dowry, which is also called picking up relatives. The groom's wedding car arrives at the woman's house, and the woman's house will set off firecrackers. After that, the groom can enter the woman's house. The groom will also bring the bride's flowers and fine cigarettes to the bride's house. When you see the bride, give her the bouquet. At the same time, cigarettes were generously distributed to the woman's family. When the couple are at the woman's house, after meeting their ancestors, they should eat Taiping (note: Taiping's soup must be chicken. And the bride should eat slowly, preferably not faster than the groom. After eating too much, the newlyweds took their dowry to get married. Before the newlyweds go out, the bride's house will also set off firecrackers. After that, the newlyweds can walk out of the bride's house. When the bride walks out of the woman's house, never look back. She should move forward happily. Even if she forgets something, she can't turn back. She should let someone else get it. From the time the bride leaves the house to get on the bus, the bridesmaid will open the umbrella for the bride when she picks up the plane, and the bridesmaid will be responsible for opening the door. The wedding car began to leave, and the woman's house had to set off firecrackers again. When a daughter gets married in Fuzhou, she must go to the man's house at 12 am. Generally, brides will set off to pick up relatives before 9 am 10.

Eat peacefully:

When the groom arrives at the woman's house, the couple must eat a peaceful bowl. After the bride receives the husband's house, she must eat another bowl of peace. It means to stay safe. According to Fuzhou tradition, before meeting family members, newlyweds should eat Taiping chicken noodles and the groom should eat the head of the chicken, which means that the head of the household and the bride should eat chicken wings and feet. In Fuzhou dialect, this means that it is more blessed to keep a good house and have more children. There are two Taiping eggs in the Taiping plane. Usually eat one and leave one, which means that the family is safe together.

Make the bed:

Fuzhou people want the elders of the man's family to make beds in the new house, and the elders should choose their parents. A complete child shows that a newcomer can be as happy as this elder. Then find 1 or two clever and beautiful little boys to roll in the new bed, hoping to have a beautiful baby boy in the future. If you like having a girl, find a man and a woman, or just find a girl to roll around. Remember to give each child a red envelope.

See the elders:

From 3 pm to 4 pm, the couple will begin to meet their ancestors, elders, old people and relatives and ask for red envelopes. Fuzhou people are called "Jiantang".

The hotel has a banquet:

Around 5 o'clock, the newcomers will welcome guests to the hotel, and finally the common etiquette in the hotel. The relatives and friends of the couple get together for a wedding banquet. The wedding of the hotel can be arranged by the wedding company. I have seen relatives of my peers on the wine table, and I can still get red envelopes at that time.

Back to the door:

According to the marriage custom in Fuzhou, "please come back to the door" usually only stays for one day, and then returns to the man's house that evening, which is called "please catch candles" and returns to the husband's house before dark. When you get married, the first day is the man's house filled with wine. The next day, wine was served at the woman's house, also called Huimen wine. The day after marriage is the day of returning to China. When returning home, the bride's family will send her brother-in-law to pick up the bride, and the groom will give him money. At the same time, he will make fun of the groom. As a new son-in-law, you must be polite and answer correctly, so as not to fall into the "trap" and be punished and teased. Then the groom prepares gifts, visits his parents-in-law with the bride and needs to return the same day. At this point, the whole wedding ceremony is over.
