Do I need to calculate the engagement date?

Engagement does not depend on the date. When going through the formalities, the man invited the eloquent people in the clan to go to the woman's house with the man's "Geng Tie" (that is, the date of birth of the man) to state the details of the man's family and his future daughter-in-law. (Match two families and relatives). If the woman basically agrees, she will entrust this person, or others will take her "Geng Tie" to the man's house to express her feelings. If the man has read the woman's "Geng Tie", he will agree to the marriage. Just let this person say "yes" and then go to the woman's house with an engagement gift, which is considered engagement.

I'll tell you a joke: a matchmaker married two "men". The bride price exchanges between the two sides are constant, and the two sides often entertain matchmakers. There is a saying in the media population that "it is difficult for both sides (men)." When it was time to get married, the sedan chairs of both sides met halfway. When asked about "what's going on", the matchmaker said, "I told you that both sides are men, and you agreed, so why blame me?"

Earlier, the newlyweds didn't meet, and everything was discussed by the matchmaker.
