The calculation of single and double family reunions is based on the number of recipients. For example, if the number of people picking up the bride from the groom's side is an odd number, it is called "going single". After receiving the bride and adding the bride alone, the number of people returning becomes an even number, which is called "returning double". Going single and returning double is a wedding custom in some places, symbolizing that the newlyweds will be paired up and never separated.
