Why are there so few bridesmaids in Guangdong? Don't you need anything to get married?
Don't spell bride price, spell banquet
Take Shantou as an example. Shantou's bride price is also thousands to tens of thousands. Basically, children in Chaoshan need the blessing of their families. No one doesn't want his daughter to be happy, and most Cantonese people are low-key and pragmatic, and don't put money first. When I was a child, I went to a wedding banquet with adults. It seems that most people care about how many tables are set. At that time, there was no discussion about the amount of bride price. The custom in many places basically does not look at the price of the bride price, but at how many tables of banquets are set. More people are invited to prove their strength, more relatives and more face.
Guangdong people are mainly families. When one person gets married, he is integrated into another person's family. Everyone helps each other and connects with each other. The derailment rate in Guangdong is relatively low, because the whole family can't lift its head and its right to speak is very low. Girls don't want too high a bride price when they get married. Basically, it depends on the man's ability. Based on ability, more or less meaning is enough.
Take the bride price and return the dowry
In terms of bride price, Cantonese people don't rigidly ask the man how much he must give, but let him do what he can. If he must be hollowed out, borrow money everywhere and take out the bride price, he will actually be convinced after meeting, which will also make the relationship between the two families disharmonious and have to toss and turn in the future. Therefore, based on this consideration, Cantonese people have always talked about the gift money.
In addition, although there will be bride price, most Guangdong girls will return the bride price and dowry, and basically more than half of them will be returned. Foshan people pay attention to reality when they marry their daughters, no matter whether they have money or not. The gift is basically between 30,000 and 60,000. In some places, boys can just mention it and finalize it. This is just a symbol, so there is no pressure on boys at all. If the woman's family is good, she will also send a car to accompany her. So when it comes to wedding ceremonies in Guangdong, everyone is really comfortable.
The bride price is not high and there is not much money.
The bride price of Guangdong people is basically given according to the actual situation of the man, and after receiving the bride price, the woman will also use these colored bodies as dowry or family funds for marriage, instead of directly giving them to her younger brother or brother at home to ask for a bride price. Guangdong has little money for bride price, and it is not high to participate in red envelopes for banquets. Basically, Cantonese people want to live a better life when they get married, and will not bring too much economic burden to the south.
However, although Guangdong does not give bride price very much, on holidays, the man should show that the money will not be less, no less than the bride price.
