Engagement:

1. Both parents meet to discuss their engagement, mainly to determine the amount of the yellow calendar and the man's dowry. At present, it is 6.5438+0.08 million, but it mainly depends on the economic conditions of both sides. The gift money received is returned according to the economic situation. If the woman's condition is generally 88888, it will be returned to the man, ranging from 38888 to 58888. If the woman's conditions are good, she will accept all the gifts and buy a car for the man.

There must be plenty of time before the engagement day. During this time, we need to buy what two people need to get engaged. Let's talk about what the man gave the woman first.

(1) A set of gold ornaments. Including earrings, bracelets, (anklets), necklaces, a pair of rings and a diamond ring (the price of a diamond ring is about 15000). In fact, you can also go to the goldsmith shop to buy a bare diamond and choose your favorite style to make it. The price varies greatly, which can save about 35%. Note: If you ask your parents first, some parents like to buy 24K pure gold, thinking that it can preserve the value, but young people don't like it.

(2) like candy. Include a pair of sugar, gold and apricots. Wenzhou wedding candy is divided into different sizes, and the man is responsible for all the wedding candy that the woman needs, including the red envelope in the wedding candy (at present, 50- 100 is given, depending on the conditions of both parties and the number of wedding candy).

(3) watches. It used to be to adjust the watch. Now that all kinds of electronic products have the function of watches, it is very common to buy only one for the woman. The price depends on their preference for styles and economic conditions, generally around 10 thousand.

What this woman wants to buy is:

(1) When the man got engaged, he wore a suit, two shirts, two ties, two pairs of shoes (a pair of casual shoes), two sets of casual clothes, a dozen socks, a gold bracelet and a necklace (if the red envelope for the best man is less than 580, you need to buy another shirt for the best man). I didn't know about gold, and I didn't do it at that time.

(2) A set of dishes with 88 pieces, 98 pieces and 108 pieces can be purchased as appropriate. It is recommended to shop around and compare more, otherwise the price difference between the two sides is not small. You must choose a date to deliver the bowl. There is a saying that "stability" is a homophonic "bowl" in Wenzhou dialect. At present, bowls on the market are divided into bone China and ceramics. It is recommended to buy ceramics, which are resistant to high temperature and not easy to crack, and are not as easy to scale as bone China after a long time. There is also attention, it is best to buy a microwave oven, which will be very practical in the future.

(3) Six samples were divided into oranges, cakes, dates, longan, lotus seeds and peanuts. Then send a preserved apricot sent by the man back to the man (six kinds can be bought in specialty stores, which saves a lot of time and effort, and are specially wrapped in washbasin and wrapping paper, which needs to be booked about a week in advance).

3. Engagement Day: There are two kinds of engagement parties at present. One is that the woman's family holds a banquet at noon to entertain the man's parents and best man, and the man invites the woman back in the evening. The other is that both parents and close relatives and friends hold a banquet in the hotel to get engaged. Generally, there are many people who choose the latter in urban areas now. In the afternoon, the man drove to the woman's house to greet her and her parents, and gave the woman's brother or sister a box of money (carrying a box of money means that the woman's brother or sister won't let her go until you give him money. According to the explanation of the older generation, if the woman is an only child, she will give it to her mother). About the suitcase money, some were given on the wedding day. The suitcase cost is about 5800- 10800. After arriving at the hotel, give tea to both parents and toast to friends and relatives to witness your love.

Engagement is engagement. Engagement is also called engagement. According to China folk custom, there is usually an engagement ceremony before marriage: signing marriage documents, exchanging gifts, or setting up a matchmaker. However, according to the current laws of our country, engagement is not a necessary procedure before marriage, and marriage without engagement does not lose its validity.

The characteristics of engagement Marriage is a contractual act and an identity contract in law. This identity contract has several characteristics:

1, the engagement shall not be concluded through agency, otherwise it will not have legal effect; In other words, the engagement can only be established if both men and women agree.

2. Only those who have the legal capacity for engagement can engage in engagement. At present, the legal definition of betrothal ability is based on age: men over 17 years old and women over 15 years old. A marriage contract concluded in violation of this provision is not invalid, but the parties or legal representatives may request the court to cancel it. Because, for minors under the age of 20, their engagement must be approved by the legal representative.

3. The engagement should not be enforced. Although the engagement should be observed, it should also follow the wishes of both men and women. If one party fails to perform, it cannot be enforced.

Breach of engagement has been stipulated in law, but unilateral unwillingness to perform the contract without the consent of the other party constitutes "breach of engagement", and the consequence is that you must bear the liability for damages.

Liability for damages is divided into the following two types:

1, property loss. In other words, you can ask for monetary compensation.

2. Compensation for mental damage. For example, the number of solatium depends on the social status, economic ability, education level and suffering of both sides.

Breaking an engagement is different from breaking a promise. The violation of engagement is unilateral violation, and the dissolution of engagement can be divided into unilateral dissolution and bilateral dissolution.

1, dissolution of engagement by both parties: both parties agree to dissolve the engagement, and whether there is any claim for damages will be completely clear after explaining each other.

2. Unilateral dissolution: If the other party is engaged to another person or marries another person, the engagement can be dissolved unilaterally. In addition, if one party is declared "forbidden to manage labor", that is, the individual is irrational, or mentally weak, or has sexual relations with others, this situation can make the other party consider unilaterally terminating it. Legal unilateral dissolution of the engagement does not violate the engagement, nor does it bear legal liability for compensation.

Engagement etiquette is also called "Wen Ding", which used to be called "Naji" and "Zheng Na". Although engagement is not as complicated as marriage, traditional customs still attach great importance to it. Both men and women need to prepare some gifts. The process is as follows:

The groom will finish the family sacrifice at home first, and then go to the woman's house by car with the matchmaker to get married. Get off the bus and enter the door, and the red envelope will not run away!

(1) Gong Guan: commonly known as "Mr. Boxer", responsible for the appointment of gift-giving companies. Tribute officials must control the number of people (even number), vehicles (six or twelve vehicles), engagement money (even number and properly wrapped in red paper) and six gifts.

(2) Family Sacrifice: Before leaving for the woman's home, the man will hold an ancestor worship ceremony at home. At this time, he will give his ancestors a "box cake" or a big cake for harvesting. He will go to a virgin's home to take a job and ask his ancestors to bless this marriage.

(3) Departure: After the family sacrifice, the tribute officer is responsible for loading all the bride price on the car, and the groom and the matchmaker go to the woman's house together.

(4) Red envelopes: Before departure, Gong Li Palace should not only take care of the number of people, cars and bride price, but also remind the groom to prepare more red envelopes. For example, the uncle who came to open the groom's car door, the "pressing table" and the six accompanying relatives all need to prepare the bride's ceremony, the bride's new friend who washed the water and the gift of the matchmaker.

How to hire after a lifetime?

"Eat rice and marry a good husband", there should be rice cakes in the six gifts.

Why prepare four-color sugar?

It symbolizes the sweetness of newlyweds and the meaning of growing old together.

The bride price represents not only the man's gratitude to the woman's parents, but also the man's face. Therefore, most of them are willing to get a glamorous and decent appearance, and each dowry also contains the symbolic meaning of seeking good luck and increasing perfection.

Bridal gifts are usually divided into six simple gifts or twelve exquisite gifts. The amount of bride price is arranged according to personal budget. At the same time, we might as well ask the matchmaker for the advice of the woman's parents to achieve the best of both worlds.

Marriage between men and women officially appeared.

Bang bang! Firecrackers sounded and the married man arrived! On that day, ancestors should be worshipped, tea should be served, and rings holding hands with each other should be worn until they are old.

How does the woman return the gift after giving it?

China people always pay attention to "reciprocity". After the man gives a big gift, the woman should also prepare a gift in return, but she can't let the man go home empty-handed.

Han nationality-marriage customs

In the past, most of the marriages of young Han people were arranged by their parents. Most of them got engaged when they were very young, and some even called their bellies marriage, that is, their parents established a marriage relationship for their children before they were born.

No marriage with the same surname: that is, men and women with the same surname do not marry each other, which began in the early Western Zhou Dynasty and was a rule left over from the Zhou people's practice of intermarriage. In the Spring and Autumn Period, people further realized that intermarriage with the same surname would cause abnormal infertility of offspring, but intermarriage with the same surname still occurred from time to time among nobles. After the Warring States period, the surname Shi, after the Han Dynasty, is not divided, and it is often inevitable to share the same surname without marriage. In the Tang Dynasty, intermarriage with the same surname followed the ancient system and was prohibited. There was a Tang law in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and the same surname was reserved for marriage. The Ming and Qing dynasties had a large territory and a large population, and it was already a society based on region, replacing the clan based on blood. Therefore, the Ming law regulations and the Qing law regulations are divided into two parts: the same surname and the same clan. On the surface, it is forbidden for two people to get married. In fact, people with the same surname and different clans can get married. Calligraphy in the late Qing Dynasty merged unmarried relatives with unmarried surnames, and only intermarriage within the same clan was prohibited.
