Marriage is highly valued in China, and there are many steps before the formal wedding, such as the betrothal ceremony. There are certain rules regarding the timing of marriage proposal in the morning and afternoon. Different regions have different requirements for the timing of marriage proposal, so everyone can follow local customs.
1. Getting married at 10am in the morning
Some regions require marriage proposal to be made at 10am. As the old saying goes, 'good things should be done early.' In some places, it is considered impolite to go after noon, and having the meaning of 'marrying half a wife' is a bad omen. If the proposal arrives before noon, it can catch up with the reception banquet prepared by the bride's family. If it is impolite to go with a meal order, the bride's family will think that the groom's family does not attach enough importance to this proposal.
2. Getting married in the afternoon
In some areas, the proposal is made in the late afternoon or evening, and the bride invites the groom's family and friends to have dinner together and discuss relevant matters before the wedding.
