According to Chinese wedding customs, the groom's parents are not allowed to attend the wedding ceremony. The wedding ceremony is usually composed of the groom, groomsmen, uncles, brothers in the family, and good friends of the groom. The number of people who go to pick up the bride is usually odd, but when they come back and add the bride's relatives and friends, it is even. The groom and groomsman should prepare red envelopes, preferably in even numbers.
Composition of welcoming personnel
1. Family relatives: The man needs to bring his immediate family members to pick up his relatives, usually looking for high-ranking figures such as uncles and aunts. He cannot go to pick up his relatives with uncles and aunts, which sounds bad and implies bad luck.
2. Best man team: The best man is a crucial figure in helping the groom overcome numerous obstacles during the wedding reception.
3. You also need to bring your brothers from home to pick up your relatives, usually cousins.
4. You can also bring your good friends with you, after all, a wedding only happens once in a lifetime, so it is very necessary to find friends around you to witness it together.
Number of relatives accepted
All items at the wedding need to be in even numbers, representing a happy and harmonious marriage, and a beautiful marital relationship. Therefore, the number of wedding guests should be in even numbers, with each pair being both beautiful and auspicious.
