1. Sending off candidates
In most regions, it is customary to choose respected male elders to escort the bride to the groom's home. Nowadays, the members who send off relatives are usually uncles, cousins, cousins, and so on, because the elders who send off relatives are the dignity of the bride and also let the groom know that even if the bride gets married, she is still a treasure in the family, supporting the scene.
Widows, pregnant women, sisters in law, aunts, and people with conflicting zodiac signs are not allowed in the selection of candidates for sending off relatives.
In order to bring good luck to the newlyweds, the requirement for the person sending them off is that they are "all living", which refers to a happy person with both parents and elders alive, a married couple, and children. Therefore, widows and pregnant women do not meet this requirement.
There is a saying that goes, 'If parents don't send you off, if aunt doesn't marry, if aunt doesn't send you off, if aunt sends you off, you'll get sick.' This is because female elders will shed tears because they are reluctant to part, and it is a bad omen on a big day. Therefore, it is not suitable to be used as a family escort.
In China, there are rules for zodiac marriage and other related matters. Although there is no scientific basis, they are still used as a reference for good luck. Therefore, when the newlyweds make the wedding ceremony, they will refer to whether the zodiac signs match the newlyweds.
2. Number of escorts
In many places, there are rules regarding the number of people sent to the bride's house, which emphasizes the principle of "single departure and double return". This means that the number of people the groom goes to the bride's house to pick up the bride is odd, while the number of people who receive the bride and send their loved ones home together is even, implying that "both husband and wife return home".
3. Farewell route
The route of sending off a bride must never go back. Going back means regretting and is unlucky for newcomers, so it is important to choose a path that can lead to the end.
