迎娶是结婚仪式中最后一个环节,也就是今天所说的婚礼。金黄的唢呐吹出喜庆的乐曲,大红轿里新娘端坐悠悠前行,紧随其后的是披红戴花、春风得意的新郎,还有接亲和送亲的一队人马,锣鼓喧天、鞭炮齐鸣,一片热闹景象。


Picking up bride was the last part of marriage ceremony, it is also wedding ceremony now. The suona horn was played joyful melody. The bride sat in the red bridal sedan, which was slowly moved forward, the bridegroom wearing red clothing with a red flower and followed the bridal sedan. The Bridegroom was followed by a team of picking up and bridal procession. The beating of gongs and drums resounded the sky, the firecrackers salvoed. What a bustling and joyful scene!

迎亲的队伍回到男方家,迈过炭盆,新郎新娘拜天地。迎娶仪式到此也就完成了。仪式都办完,拜完天地礼成了,然后回门,拜见女方的父母和至亲。一般的时候是第二天回门,为了省事有的人家当天回门。
