Two red plastic pots and two red plastic buckets on the wedding day.

A red plastic basin contains a pair of shoes, socks and two pairs of slippers that the bride bought for her grandparents.

Cover it with the red word "hi".

② Put 8 kg of rice into two red plastic buckets. On top of a bucket are children's shoes, hats and stomachs. On top of the other barrel are red dates and longan. The cypress branches (small bundles) and the red characters are put in two buckets.

* * * There is also a red Baizitu quilt, a green dragon and phoenix quilt and a pair of wedding shoes.

* * * The bed in the new house should be made by a woman and a boy whose parents are still alive. The bed maker will send a happy envelope. The person who makes the bed is the relative of the man, and the person who sews the quilt is the relative of the woman. The quilt won't open! ! !

The route taken by the wedding car comes and goes differently. Vehicles and personnel go to odd numbers and return to even numbers.

When welcoming the bride into the new house, she doesn't go straight into the bridal chamber. A couple need to give tea to the man's parents sitting in the living room first to change their minds. After drinking tea, parents expressed their blessings and gave a couple a happy seal. The couple didn't enter the bridal chamber until everyone blessed them. And eat red dates or dumplings in the bridal chamber.
