Precautions for proposing marriage
1. Preparation before marriage proposal
When the man comes to propose marriage, he must DRESS neatly and be polite. Please kindly ask the parents of the bride to agree to your marriage and confirm the wedding date after receiving confirmation. Before proposing, the date should be determined by the bride's family as a sign of respect. When it was proposed, the man said to the woman's parents, 'My parents would like to visit us at home at some time. I wonder when you are available.'.
2. Date of marriage proposal
If you mind, just choose an auspicious day for the wedding proposal. If there are taboos, do not propose marriage in the first and seventh lunar months. It is more pleasing to propose on days with even numbers in the lunar calendar or the Gregorian calendar.
3. Gift for marriage proposal
To propose a marriage, it is necessary to prepare some meeting gifts, and one cannot go empty handed, otherwise it will appear impolite and disrespectful to the bride's family. You can buy some cigarettes and wine for your father-in-law (tea can be given to those who don't touch tobacco and wine), some nutrition or health care products for your mother-in-law, and some good fruits and Dim sum. If there are local specialties in your hometown, you can also buy some for them to taste.
