The process from proposal to marriage can be divided into four parts: proposal, engagement, license and wedding. For Chinese people, marriage is a big event representing two families, so there have been complicated links of "six rites" since ancient times. Today, the "six rites" have withdrawn from the stage of history, replaced by the above relatively simple process.
First, the process of proposing parents
The man goes to the woman's family to propose the process is simple, that is, the man comes to the woman's consent. According to traditional customs, it is necessary to bring a matchmaker to the door, but now it is not so complicated, even if there is no matchmaker, after the man and the woman have agreed, it is completely OK to come to the door by themselves, and it is OK to carry out the operation agreed by the two sides.
Second, the engagement process
After the proposal, the engagement ceremony is held, and the engagement ceremony is generally the "reserve" of the marriage ceremony, which also needs to be paid attention to by the new couple. The simple process of a modern engagement ceremony begins with the reception of the guests, the matchmaker speaks, greets the elders, drinks a change of tea, exchanges of tokens, speeches by the parents, and finally a toast to the guests.
Third, the process of obtaining the license
After the proposal and engagement, the prospective couple can begin to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau on the auspicious day to obtain a certificate, which represents the formal establishment of your husband and wife relationship and is protected and constrained by law. In the process of obtaining the certificate, be careful not to lack the materials that need to be prepared.
Fourth, the wedding process
All the preparations in the early stage are for the wedding day, and a successful wedding in addition to sufficient preparation in the early stage, but also need to be orderly in accordance with the process on the wedding day. In the wedding process, Chinese and Western weddings are also divided into different processes, which is the need for new people to understand in advance.
