1、 What does the man bring to propose to the woman's house
1. Gift money
The specific content of the gift money requires the male party to actively inquire with the female party, such as the amount of gift money and how to receive the betrothal gift. It is also necessary to determine whether the dowry includes wedding expenses and various customs and etiquette expenditures, such as uncle's gift, DRESSing gift, table pressing gift, chef's gift, serving gift, etc., which should be discussed accordingly to avoid disputes in the future. The amount of gift money varies depending on local customs and traditions.
2. Dowry list
In many regions, the most important thing in the betrothal ceremony is to discuss the dowry. So before the groom comes to propose, he must make a list of dowries based on the local dowry situation and estimate his own tolerance range for both parties to discuss the specific amount.
3. Meeting Gift
When the groom comes to propose to the bride, a meeting ceremony is essential, which can be divided into six and eight types. The gifts brought to your doorstep must be even numbers, such as tobacco and alcohol, candy, pastries, red dates, lotus seeds, sweet things (not limited to types), round cakes (representing a round and full event), apple gift boxes representing good luck and happiness, etc.
2、 Precautions for the groom when proposing marriage
1. Pay attention to clothing and appearance: Clothing must be appropriate and tidy, and appearance should be clean and neat.
2. Respect: Respect the requests or opinions of the female party as much as possible and handle them according to their regulations. Otherwise, if there is a disagreement, the atmosphere on the spot will become too tense and not conducive to the development of the relationship between the two parties.
3. On time for the appointment: Never be late. If it is due to traffic congestion or other uncontrollable factors, be sure to call and inform us that you will arrive slightly later.
4. Smiling: When both parties meet, they must maintain a smile. Marriage is a happy occasion, and if both parties look serious, it can make the atmosphere awkward.
