In view of the fact that many young people don't understand the current engagement market in Wenzhou (downtown), I will give you an introduction according to the preparations before the engagement and the situation on the wedding day:
Engagement:
1. Parents of both parties meet to discuss the engagement, mainly. At present, it is 18,, but it mainly depends on the economic conditions of both sides. The received gift money is returned according to the economic conditions. If the woman's conditions are generally 88888, it will be returned to the man, ranging from 38888 to 58888. If the woman's condition is good, just accept all the gift money and buy a car for the man.
2. There must be plenty of time before the engagement day. During this time, we need to buy what the two people need for engagement. Let's start with what the man gave the woman.
(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 15, now, but in fact, you can also go to a goldsmith's shop to buy a loose diamond and choose your favorite style to build it. The price is very different, which can save about 35%. Note: If you ask your parents first, some parents like to buy 24K pure gold and think it can preserve the value, but young people don't like it and feel rustic).
(2) like candy. Including a pair of sugar, gold and apricot. Wenzhou wedding candy is divided into different sizes, and all the wedding candy needed by the woman is the responsibility of the man, including the red envelope in the wedding candy (at present, 5-1 red envelopes are given, depending on the conditions of both parties and the number of wedding candy).
(3) watches. In the past, it was to set the watch. Now, since all kinds of electronic products have the function of a watch, it is also very common to buy only one for the woman. The price depends on their preferences for styles and economic conditions, usually around 1 thousand.
What the woman wants to buy is:
(1) One suit, two shirts, two ties, two pairs of shoes (one pair of casual shoes and one pair of leather shoes), two sets of casual clothes, a dozen socks, one gold bracelet and one necklace (if the red envelope for the best man is less than 58, 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 has 88 pieces, 98 pieces and 18 pieces to choose from, and you can buy them as appropriate. Now Wenzhou's stores are mainly concentrated in Jiefang Road and Feixia North Road (I bought them in a ceramic shop opposite Tiejinglan on Jiefang North Road, and the quality is good. I can go to the original store to match them when I break them). It is recommended to shop around and compare more, otherwise the price difference between the parties is not small. You have to choose a date to send a bowl. Wenzhou people have a saying of "stability" and "stability" is a homophonic "bowl" in Wenzhou dialect. At present, the bowls in 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 accumulate dirt as bone China after a long time. There is also attention, it is best to buy a microwave oven, which is very practical in the future.
(3) Divide six samples into oranges, cakes, dates, longan, lotus seeds and peanuts. Then send back one of the candied apricots sent by the man to the man (there is a special store to buy six kinds in Wenzhou, which saves a lot of time and energy. There is one near the vegetable market in Xicheng Road, which is specially wrapped with washbasin and wrapping paper, and it needs to be booked about a week in advance).
3. engagement day: Wenzhou people now have two kinds of engagement banquets. One is that the woman's house hosts a banquet for the man's parents and groomsman at noon, and the man invites the woman back at night. The other is that both parents and close relatives and friends hold a banquet in a hotel to get engaged. Generally, there are many people who choose the latter in urban areas now. In the afternoon, the man drives to the woman's home to greet her and her parents, and gives the woman's brother or sister suitcase money (suitcase money means that the woman's brother or sister won't let her sister get married and refuses to leave, and he will only let her go if you give him money, as explained by the older generation, and 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 costs about 58-18. After arriving at the hotel, give tea to both parents and toast to relatives and friends to witness your love. Drink ~~~)
Get married:
1. After deciding the wedding date, we will start to book the banquet in the hotel. Now Wenzhou seems to book the banquet one year in advance. I feel dizzy. Everyone will get married on a good day.
then you have to settle down first. Of course, the man is responsible for buying a house and decorating it. The decoration will take at least two months, and it usually starts after the engagement. After the decoration, the furniture in the room is purchased by the man, and everything else is dressed by the woman. All the things with plugs and decorations, as well as kitchen cabinets and bedding, are handled by the woman.
2. Take wedding photos. To choose a good time,
March is the best time to take wedding photos, with good weather and beautiful scenery. Make a reservation early, because everyone is rushing to go at a good time. Now Wenzhou's 3W, ancient photography, fashion spring and Zhongtian private photography studio (just heard recently) are all good, changing the stereotyped style of Vivian bride. It's best to make a reservation while doing activities. There are many things to send and the price will be relatively cheap. When taking photos, it is recommended to follow your own preferences. Don't listen to the makeup artist's advice easily. They are all beneficial and generally have nothing to recommend. Another point to note is that when choosing a photo studio, it is clear that the number of photos registered (generally 5, some of which are too few for 4) and the unit price of each additional photo studio are still very different. The high one is 5, and the low one is 3. In the end, the difference in total price is not small.
3. Wedding dress. Nowadays, many people buy wedding dresses, which is good when they have time. After all, it is much cheaper to buy them in Suzhou and Shanghai, but it should be noted that the quality in Suzhou is generally not good. There is also a lot of expenses for a trip. Let's compare, which is more economical, renting or buying. If you rent it, the distribution of several stores in Wenzhou now is like this: some rents like Broadway and wedding dress workshops are very expensive, and some wedding dress workshops are quite unique, that is, the price is expensive, and the beautiful evening dresses generally cost more than 3,. It is certain that the three pieces add up to more than 1,. Some Broadway ones cost tens of thousands. Just wear it for one night, it's so expensive, and the money is really wronged. I feel that there is a dream palace wedding dress in Chaiqiao Lane, which is not bad, the price is affordable, and the things are relatively fine.
3. You don't have to worry about the toast procedure on your wedding day. The photographer of the etiquette company knows these routines well, and he will instruct you how to toast while filming, as long as you follow them.
4. A gift from the woman to the man's family.
(1) sweet potato ye sweet potato Niang. You have to buy gifts for both the sweet potato master and the sweet potato woman. When it was summer, I bought a crocodile T-shirt for the sweet potato master and a necklace for the sweet potato mother. Buy a pair of shoes for the sweet potato master and sweet potato mother, especially sweet potato mother, and put a pair of socks in the shoes. The homonym of "shoes and socks" in Wenzhou dialect means that she can help you with housework in her spare time.
(2) The brothers and sisters of Sweet Potato Niang are also the uncle and aunt of the man. Usually everyone buys a quilt or quilt cover and other bedding, and the price is usually two or three hundred yuan.
(3) brothers and sisters of the man. People who have brothers usually buy a shirt or other clothes. Sisters are usually rings or necklaces. Spouses of brothers and sisters are regarded as brothers or sisters.
5. Preparation a few days before marriage.
(1) Photographing car rental fireworks, but these are not related to the etiquette companies that are all-inclusive now.
(2) Master of ceremonies. Please look at your personal preference uninvited. I always feel that if you have a lot of banquets, the emcee will be busy for half a day. Don't think about it until 12 o'clock in the evening. If you wait, people can't wait. It's ok if the master of ceremonies is well invited, but if the level is too poor or something else, it will ruin the wedding atmosphere.
(3) Book a makeup artist.
4. Before the wedding, the bride just needs to get a facial and exfoliate her skin. If she has makeup, she won't have to get up so early on the wedding day. Now beauticians come directly to the house after 9: to get their hair done and nails done, and then eat. After this lunch, the next meal will not be until the next day's lunch. Here, I want to remind everyone to eat, hehe. . . Then it takes more than an hour for the makeup artist to put on the wedding dress, shawl, makeup and hairstyle when he gets home at one o'clock. I would like to remind you that you should pay attention to inform the makeup artist in advance what color and style your wedding dress is, so that she can prepare headdresses with the same color and style.
The man is almost the same, and it is not as troublesome as the woman. At 4 o'clock, the groom and the best man will leave for the woman's home to pick up the bride (it is getting earlier and earlier now, because many couples in hotels usually get married at the same time, and now the bride arrives early in order to grab the feng shui, instead of waiting for the bride as in the past). After the bride arrives, the bridesmaids will try some tricks to embarrass the groom, and of course, the red envelopes will be settled before opening the door. (The red envelope is about 5 yuan, and there are nine bridesmaids here in Wenzhou, and the bride is just one table.) Then there are nine bridesmaids and all the bride's male relatives who go to the new house with the car. Here we talk about getting off the bus. We rent a car here in Wenzhou, and we must hand in cigarettes, otherwise some bad drivers will drive fast and slow on purpose, so that there will be no queues, and the video will not look good. Then, when you go to the new house, you will make a video of offering tea and glutinous rice balls, and you must remember the order of your elders when you honor things, otherwise you will be gossiped.
Next, another bus will drive to the hotel, then there will be a lion dance, and then a red envelope will be given (the red envelope is 1 yuan for one person, with a total of ***6). Next, some groomsmen will spray the newlyweds and bridesmaids with that kind of spray ribbon. It is suggested that the bride put down her veil, while the bridesmaid suggested preparing an old dress with a hat and putting it on before going in, hehe. The last level is, of course, a toast. This is the most important thing. Of course, it varies from person to person. Let's give full play to each other, so it's not necessary here. We should also pay attention to the fact that the bride in the middle needs to change her wedding dress and hairstyle. It should also be noted that in Wenzhou, the man now gives the woman four tables of banquets, including red envelopes. The extra banquets are for the women to take care of themselves, and the red envelopes are of course collected by their parents.
