The proposal can be made by parents and relatives, or together with a matchmaker. In ancient times, proposing marriage required a matchmaker to bring the man's intention to marry to the woman's home, obtain her consent, and then exchange the Geng Tie. Now, after the man and woman have the intention to get married, the man brings his parents and relatives to the woman's home to propose marriage. If both parties were introduced by a matchmaker, they also need to bring a matchmaker to show respect for the matchmaker.
Is it a matchmaker or are the parents also going to propose marriage
In ancient times, when proposing marriage, a matchmaker went to the bride's house to bring the groom's intention to marry to the bride's house, and after obtaining the consent of the bride's house, the man and woman exchanged the Geng Tie, and the groom then came to the matchmaker to officially marry the bride.
The current practice of marriage proposal is that after both the man and the woman have expressed their willingness to accept the marriage, the man's family brings his parents, relatives, and friends, as well as the proposal gift, to the woman's family to discuss the relevant matters of marriage. If both parties were introduced by a matchmaker, it is necessary to bring the matchmaker to show respect for them.
