    Actually, I don't know much about the concept of marriage, but since one of my classmates got married, I have understood a little bit. Actually, I'm still in school, and everyone is already covering their limbs and getting married. In recent days, looking at some strange customs in the countryside on Weibo because of marriage, the newlyweds are a little unhappy, not only that, but there are also some unsmiling **, which is circulating everywhere, what pot bottom is black and the bride has a ...... faceSo let's talk about the customs of our hometown!

    My hometown is in a rural area in Shanxi Province, we must choose the day together before we get married, this day is also particular, generally called half immortal, anyway, it is a person who knows how to tell the hexagram to choose, and finally the parents of both sides set an auspicious day of the zodiac, because the people there are more people believe in these, after all, the countryside is more particular, and these are left by the predecessors, everyone has passed on for many years. After talking about choosing a date, let's talk about pre-wedding preparations. The marriage on our side is set up by the man's family, and the woman also sets up the banquet.

    On the day of the woman's marriage, the woman has to set off from her own house and there are people to send relatives, and the people who eat in the garden are generally good friends, usually six people to send relatives, and these people also see whether they are compatible with the bride's genus, and they should put some coins on the bride's body, and then scatter some on the way to the groom's house. When the man arrives at the woman's house, there will be a woman friend who stops the kiss, haha, as long as there is a person who stops the kiss, the groom will not receive his bride's son so easily, but the groom also led a lot of people who lead the bride home, they will have some problems to test the groom, all kinds of embarrassment, but the person who stops the kiss will only be released after taking his own red envelope. After that, the man also received his beloved bride.

    When it was time to bring his bride home, the groom's friends also began to intercept the bride, they would block the groom's door and interact with the bride in various ways, all kinds of difficulties, play for a while, and wait for those friends to take the red envelope before releasing the person. When it is time for lunch to eat, the newlyweds will say some messages, and the host will invite the parents of the newlyweds to speak on stage, and the newlyweds will say some thanks to their parents. After that, the newcomer should respect the elders, classmates, friends and the like at a table by table, and relatives and friends will send some blessings to the new round of stuffy people or play some games with the newcomers during this period.

    After lunch, the newlyweds will send relatives and friends, and finally when all the things are packed up, the newlyweds can play in the cave room in the evening.

    This hasn't been played yet, the next day called back to the door, and then the woman's side has to set up a banquet, the same process as the man, the following will not be narrated, the most important thing is that the bride and groom should rush home before the sun sets. After all, it's a marriage

    Go daughter, spill out the water, you have to go back to your own house. Anyway, I just think that the countryside has to pay a lot of attention to it.
