Chapter 5 Marriage
Wedding ceremonies are complicated and standardized. There are wedding celebrants hired for 500 dollars to tell you how to do it. You just need to know ahead of time and do it on time.
One day in advance, most of the brides do a skin care, that is, a facial and head massage whitening and lifting. The groom gets a haircut.
On that day, the groom arranges for the bride to pick up the bride early to go to the bridal shop to paint the bridal makeup, put on the pre-ironed wedding dress, and then escort her home. Wait for the groom to come to the door to pick up the kiss.
The groom will take the groomsmen and friends to marry the bride. The groom will carry the dressed bride to the wedding car without touching the ground, and the bride will sit on the car before the groom will take the wedding shoes held by the bridesmaids and put them on for the bride to put on.
The car in charge of recording is at the front, usually face-to-face, with the back door open, and the cameraman and photographer sit upside down in the back to carry out the shooting. When it comes to the turn, there will be occasional stops to take a picture of the overall wedding convoy. Then speed up to catch up, and then take pictures of the bride and groom decorated with flowers and ribbons in the wedding car.
When pedestrians and vehicles encounter a convoy of red and white events at the intersection, most of them will take the initiative to give way to maintain the continuity of the convoy.
The first car is generally a good car, and the rent should be more, if it is borrowed, you must pack two boxes of Chinese good cigarettes, and other cars can be given two boxes of Yuxi or Shilin cigarettes. The driver of the lead car is responsible for suppressing the speed of the entire convoy and is not allowed to stop except at a red light. It is a test of the driver's driving level.
The wedding team picks up the bride and takes the newlyweds to the new house to see around. The mother-in-law will be responsible for greeting her, taking the red basin wrapped in red cloth that the bride has been holding, commonly known as the cornucopia, and giving the bride a big red envelope in return.
The bride and groom visit the new house, the bride and groom eat a bowl of longevity noodles, and everyone drinks a cup of prepared brown sugar water.
Set off again and rush to the hotel where you have booked. Light the firecrackers again, unscrew the spray barrel, and hold the wedding ceremony. The groom's parents stand at the door to greet the guests. The groom escorts the bride into the makeshift lounge to wait for the wedding ceremony to begin immediately. The host stood on the stage and waited for the auspicious time. On time, the special music of the wedding sounded, and the host invited both parents to sit on the stage. Guests from all walks of life took their seats one after another. The wedding ceremony officially began.
The bride and groom are invited to make a shining appearance. The bride and groom walk hand in hand through the red carpet on the wedding stage. The groomsmen hold the glass of wine on a tray, and the bridesmaids hold the wedding ring on a tray. He took a wrong step to accompany him, and the boy and girl followed.
Once I worship my parents, I change my name to my parents, and my elders give red envelopes. The second worship of heaven and earth is to bow deeply to the crowd of spectators. The three husbands and wives worship each other, drink and exchange rings. In the midst of everyone's uproar, the bride and groom hug and kiss or the groom kisses the bride on the forehead or cheek. Representatives of the bride and groom's parents are invited to give speeches. Courtesy. Feast.
Live singing and dancing performances by hired actors, ranging from one to a few people. The rest were presented on stage by the singing and dancing lovers among the guests.
Everyone eats and drinks. The bride and groom, direct blood relatives of both parents, began to toast and light cigarettes to the guests. It's lively and lively, and the cups are staggered.
After sending off the guests, the bride and groom, the man's parents, the cameraman and photographer, the best man and bridesmaid, and the friends who have not eaten will sit together again, raise a glass and have a good meal. I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning and ate a stable meal until near noon, I was so hungry and delicious!
