On the night of release, it will be incinerated in front of the woman's house or grave. In the communication, the "goose cage", "wine sea", dragon and phoenix wedding cakes, elbows and happy fruits that the man gave the woman were all real, but clothes and jewelry were all buried with paper. The dowry of a woman's dowry is usually paper. After it is delivered to the man, it is only displayed in front of the "groom" photo or memorial tablet for half a day, and some just walk around the man's yard, that is, under the guidance of drum music, it is sent to a nearby square for burning.

The above ceremony is not necessarily held in all women's marriages, but the wedding ceremony is essential. Today is a sunny day. Set up a shed to entertain relatives and friends and light a sedan chair in front of the door. In the happy room, "100%" God gives. There is a low table on the opposite side of the kang for the "groom" to take photos or set up a memorial tablet, with several plates of apples and dragon and phoenix cakes in front.

Tie the two photos together with a red head rope (meaning the old man holding the red line) and attach red and yellow silk. Only by marrying a wife and kowtowing to God "100%", even if the husband and wife worship heaven and earth. Then the waiter brought a glass of wine, descendants jiaozi and longevity noodles for the newlyweds to take photos or erect a monument. If the "newlyweds" have younger brothers and sisters, brothers-in-law, etc. Call them out and kowtow to photos or memorial tablets. The two in-laws congratulated each other.

After the ceremony, choose a good day to be buried, and the woman can wake up. According to the time specified by the Yin and Yang Master, after the coffin is pivoted out, immediately pour a bucket of water into the pit and drop two apples.
