The wedding can take place on the second day, but it is best to do it on the third day. According to tradition, newlyweds return to their in-laws' home on the third day after their marriage, which in the case of the bride, is the return to her mother's family after becoming a new woman. Some places will be visited the day after the wedding, such as most parts of Hunan.

In traditional marriage customs, three days after the wedding, the bride will go back to her mother's home with the groom, also known as "Hui door", which is an essential etiquette. However, due to different places, the specific return time will also be different. So the time to return to the door can be discussed with the elders.
