There are no specific rules for the person carrying the wedding box. Generally speaking, it is customary to seek help from family and friends to carry the suitcase. If the bride does not want to trouble others, she can also carry it herself. But it is necessary to inquire beforehand whether there are any customs related to carrying boxes in the local area. If not, there is no need to be too particular. If there are, just follow them.
What's in the wedding box
1. Gold and silver jewelry
The dowry box contains gold and silver jewelry, symbolizing that the groom brings wealth and fortune. It includes three pieces of gold or hardware given by the groom, as well as dowry bought by the bride's parents for their daughter. Generally, the jewelry is small in size and expensive in price.
2. Self owned money
Before the bride gets married, her parents will put cash or bank cards at the bottom of the box, some of which are called "personal money" or "box money", for emergency use after marriage for their children.
3. Items with good symbolism
The bride's family members will also decorate the bride with small items with beautiful meanings, such as a golden comb symbolizing aging together, a golden scale symbolizing contentment, and a golden abacus symbolizing diligence and frugality in managing the household.
4. Daily necessities
Placing items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, clothing, and other personal belongings of the bride means that the daughter needs to bring her daily necessities to live with the groom. At the same time, many weddings now require staying in hotels in advance, making it more convenient to carry daily necessities in the dowry box.
5. Son and Son Bucket
Descendants' bucket means passing on the family line and having multiple descendants. The female family will put items such as red dates, longan, longevity fruit, safflower seeds, chopsticks, red duck eggs, cypress branches, etc. in the children's bucket.
