Rural participation is the first process.

In many places, there is an engagement before marriage. Engagement is a kind of contractual behavior in law, and it is also an identity contract. In rural areas, engagement is also called "eight characters", and both men and women will hold engagement parties to entertain relatives and friends to witness the engagement. On the day of engagement in the countryside, there are also some processes to go. Let's see what they have.

offer sacrifices to ancestors

Ask the bride's uncle to light candles and burn incense, and the woman will give her mother-in-law two pairs of incense, one for her parents and one for the bride-to-be. The matchmaker reads auspicious words, and then the woman's parents worship the gods and ancestors, suing for marriage and blessing. When inserting incense, you must not insert it once.

leave

The man carried sixty-two gifts, and the motorcade set off after setting off firecrackers. The number of teams and cars should be even, but it is best to avoid the number of four and eight.

Before the man arrives at the woman's house 100 meters, he should set off firecrackers, and the woman's house should also set off firecrackers to respond.

Welcome guests

After the man's motorcade arrives at the woman's door, the bride's brothers and sisters will help the groom open the door and fetch water for the man to wash his hands and face, while the groom needs to give the prepared red envelope to the other party. After that, the man will move the gift into the woman, and the woman needs to give the gift giver a red envelope, and then the matchmaker will introduce the family members of both parties to each other.

Wear a ring

The groom will personally put a ring on the bride-to-be, which means that the other party will be locked up, and then the prospective mother-in-law will also put earrings and necklaces on the bride, commonly known as "three golds". Of course, in the process of engagement in rural areas, some families will also prepare "hardware", and add pendants and bracelets on the basis of the three gold, depending on the financial resources of the man's family.

An engagement party

After the ceremony, the woman will hold a banquet to entertain relatives and friends of both parties and the matchmaker who attended the engagement ceremony. The woman should also prepare chicken legs with red paper and red envelopes for the man, and the man should prepare red envelopes for the woman to pay for the wedding banquet.

change the name

The groom changed the name of the bride's house, addressed the elders with the same address as the bride, and finally set off firecrackers to announce the end of the engagement ceremony.
