Seek Fuzhou marriage customs, the more detailed the better, thank you!

In the old customs, the marriage between men and women is mostly decided by parents, and the matchmaker decides from it. The matchmaker gives the woman's wedding card to the man's family, and the man's family can negotiate after the fortune teller's "matchmaking" and "blind date". But now it is a free marriage, and this step can be deleted.

After the agreement, the man asks the matchmaker to accompany the bride price and engagement money to the woman's house on a certain day, which is engagement. The man will bring two cocks, 10 Jin of noodles, 10 Jin of pork, 10 Jin of sugar, three cigarettes, candles, firecrackers, flowers, gifts and gold wares to the woman's house to propose marriage, and then he will bring back a hen, one of the two cocks, a little noodles and pork. Anyway, you should bring three gifts in Fuzhou, the more the better. 13333, 33333, 63333. ...

After that, the couple will prepare wedding items, mainly the bride's dowry. The bride should prepare bedding, a covered red bucket (with peanuts, red dates, lotus seeds, grains, etc. ), a pair of dolls, a pair of red washbasins, a BB tub (also red), happy characters on doors and windows, red cloth (used to wrap buckets), salute, 2 bottles of shampoo, 1 bottle of shower gel and a bottle of bread. These are all to be taken to the man's house on the wedding day. Of course, brides who advocate simplicity can arrange according to their own feelings.

On the morning of the wedding, the man got married, and then a "hanglang" composed of relatives and friends went to the woman's house to get the dowry. The woman concentrates her dowry in front of the hall in advance, affixes auspicious words such as "A Hundred Years of Harmony" and inserts cypress branches. Sedan chairs were used in ancient times. Now, of course, it's by car. When the sedan chair arrives at the woman, the bride puts on the sedan chair and arrives at the man's house before noon 12, and the man greets with firecrackers.

Afternoon is the time to worship the church, which is a climax of marriage. The bride and groom worship heaven and earth first, then their ancestors, and then propose a toast to each other, commonly known as a toast. Then the master of ceremonies sings to relatives and elders, the bride and groom bow down, and the elders give a gift (that is, a gift) after receiving the gift.

A banquet was held in the evening, and the emcee presided over the wedding reception. During the dinner, the couple will propose a toast to the guests, and some guests will pay extra for the couple's table. If it's money, it's about 100 yuan, or a ring. After the banquet, it's bridal time. Guests should try every means to embarrass the new couple.

The day after marriage is the day to go home. The bride's family will send her brother-in-law to pick up the bride, and the groom will give her money. Then the groom prepares gifts, visits Yue's home with the bride, and returns the same day.

The bride price of the man: According to the old man, the man should prepare 10 when he is hired, which means that after the "perfect" woman arrives at the bride price, except the bride price, the other half should be returned to the man. Engagement gift: 33,000 yuan or13,000 yuan (the mantissa of engagement gift must be "3", which is the homonym of "three" and "life" in Fuzhou dialect, symbolizing that they all have children after marriage). Engagement gift: a cock and a hen (the woman returns the hen), a leg of pig (the woman returns the trotters) and a leg of lamb.

Bride's dowry: suitcases (usually two, meaning yes men), which contain some commonly used clothes and the dowry given by the woman's parents to her daughter), dolls, a pair of dolls, a man and a woman, which means good luck and good luck. Make some electrical appliances (as required according to personal circumstances), plastic buckets, plastic flowers and vases (for decorating new houses): the plastic flowers should be white and red to represent men and women, and the bride should hold a bunch of flowers in her hand before going out. Strangely, I often see spittoons in many dowry, and I don't know what they are used for. Red umbrella: When picking up the bride, the bridesmaid holds a red umbrella for the bride to go out and get on and off. This umbrella should be brand-new, without a trademark, and its color can be red or pink. This is also an old auspicious saying, such as avoiding disasters and evil spirits.

O: If the woman's home is in Fuzhou or has her own dormitory, she will pick it up at home. If the bride lives in the groom's house, she should avoid it when getting married, or rent a house in a hotel, pick it up from the hotel, or go directly to the makeup shop to pick up her relatives. If the man's elders don't mind, even the procedure of "getting acquainted" is saved. In the afternoon, you can directly receive the welcome from the hotel (I think "acquaintance" is essential because it is the most interesting part of marriage). Fuzhou's daughter is married and must go to the man's house in the morning 12. Generally, the bride leaves before 9: 00 a.m. to 10 to pick up relatives, and the bridesmaid should be there when the bride answers the door. Eat peacefully. When the groom arrives at the bride's house, the couple must eat a bowl of Taiping. When the bride receives the man's house, she still wants to eat a bowl of Taiping, indicating peace (there are two safe eggs in Pingli, usually one is left, indicating peace together).

Make the bed: Fuzhou people want the elders of the man's family to make the bed for the new house. The elders should choose their parents and have complete children, which means that the new couple can be as happy as the elders (my father made a bed for a couple ~ haha), and then find 1 or two smart, clever and beautiful boys to roll around in the new bed, which means that they will have beautiful boys in the future. If they like to have girls, they can find a man and a woman, or directly. Meet the elders (this is the most interesting time to get married): From 3 pm to 4 pm, newlyweds will start to meet the elders, old people and relatives who have seen things and ask for red envelopes. Fuzhou people call it the "meeting place". In the evening, the relatives and friends of the couple get together for a wedding banquet and a banquet. Sometimes I have seen relatives of my peers on the wine table. At that time, I could still get a red envelope.
