twenty six: wedding
The preparations for weddings are not as complicated as they are now, and the travel of wedding cars is not as good as they are now, and the gifts are naturally not as exaggerated as they are now. I always feel that we were just married in those days, but now we are buying a wife? Of course, the times are different, and we need to be different. After all, marriage is a lifelong event. I don’t reject it. It’s better to act within my ability.
The only regret left to us is that we were unable to take a good wedding photo and felt ashamed of her!
Poor - I borrowed money to buy all three gold!
Poor - I don't have wedding photos, and I think it's time to spend money.
Poor – no best man and bridesmaid,
Poor - no decent new house,
Poor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On April 28, 2004, on the eve of the wedding, the joy of the wedding was coming all night long. Will she be the same as me at this moment...
4.29, I set off in the early morning of the morning and arrived at the bride's house at 5.40 (so I remember, what time did my cousin ask), after re-arranged the wedding car, lit the firecrackers, honked the horn and slowly approached the house.
When picking up the bride in the countryside, it usually makes people "difficult" to the man, and the atmosphere will be extremely high. The sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, screams, laughter, and various sounds are mixed together to form a typical rural love marche.
Level 1: Open the door to welcome the bride
You have to convince those who "keep the door" or you don't want to go in.
"Come on, is the new son-in-law preparing to explode firecrackers and get a good red envelope? Or is he singing and climbing the bottom of the table?"
How to choose this? Haha! I handed a red envelope, lit a salute, and talked sweetly about honey for a long time, so I had to continue repeating the above steps...
After a long time of trouble, it was still lively. Those who followed me were classmates and cousins, so I naturally worked hard to celebrate.
"Second, please pay attention to the time and don't delay the wedding?"
"Okay, I get it."
The old rules are still preserved in the countryside. When getting married, you need to look for the days of Feng Shui. You need to avoid days that conflict with the zodiac sign, such as the rat and the horse of Wu, the ox and the sheep of Wei, the tiger and the monkey of Yin and the rabbit and the rooster of Mao, the dragon and the dog of Yu, etc. You also need to pay attention to the opening of the three, seven and nine days, that is, the auspicious days are best avoided in the third, seven and nine months of the lunar calendar, because these three months coincide with "Qingming", "Yulan" and "Chonggong", which are both traditional "ghost festivals", and it is not suitable to hold wedding events. This should be my choice in April. I think. There are still things that cannot be chosen for blind years, avoiding the Sanniang Sha, etc. In short, it is very complicated and I don't understand. Just remember the points of the worship. As the saying goes, don't miss the time.
"Look the cannon, drill the table"
When the cannon sounded, my body lowered and my head curled. I saw it and walked straight into the bottom of the table without hearing it, and passed the level smoothly.
"Ha ha ha ha"
“Hahahahahahahahahaha”
The happy laughter of relatives in my ears was heard. The groom all went in, and the pass was released successfully. The originally large main hall was filled with people! I believe that happiness is easily infected. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
Level 2: Open the door to happiness
The bride is in the room, the room is closed, and she wants to turn it on?
Painting red, different places in the village, but similar. If you add festiveness, you will use red paint (easy to wash) to apply the handsome guys and beauties who pick up the brides on their faces, but they cannot be wiped off on the spot. Of course, I won’t say that my face is full of joy! After applying, you also need to call the door, so keep working hard, haha. There is a saying in the countryside that there is no size for three days of marriage. As long as it is not beyond the moral boundary, you can do whatever you want, so this is also possible. Sometimes the bride takes it away and the door is broken.
Since we told our parents in advance that the journey was very long and we could not delay the time for worship, we did not make things difficult for us. After all, we persuaded us, and the red envelope was handed over and finally the door was opened under the attitude of our elders.
A beautiful lady on the bed, who looked very handsome, put on some makeup, and was wearing a red dress and was unique and independent...
There are many customs for getting married in rural areas. The groom has to carry the bride away from the bed and get into the car. The brother-in-law is responsible for getting his shoes. The shoes are usually hidden. If you want to find them, you have to give your brother-in-law a red envelope. It is also a lively link, adding a lot of joy to the marriage. Since the first meeting, the relationship with the brother-in-law has been very good. After passing the test smoothly, the brother-in-law's handsome face is full of happy little playfulness.
With the red face on my face, I was just about to go home to the church. The church was very lively and there were many procedures, such as the host and witnesses to deliver speeches, the passing of each other, the worship of heaven and earth, the worship of the high hall, the worship of tea, the worship of each other, etc., and finally the wedding room was sent to the bridal chamber.
