💍 婚前 (Before the Wedding)
- 提亲 / 过大礼 (Proposal / Betrothal Gifts)
男方家庭会带着聘礼（如茶叶、酒、礼金、点心、喜饼等）前往女方家拜访，以表达对婚事的重视和诚意。女方家庭也会准备“回礼”表示接受。
The groom’s family brings gifts like tea, wine, money, pastries, and traditional items to the bride’s family to show sincerity. The bride’s family gives a return gift to confirm the engagement. - 择日 (Choosing an Auspicious Date)
通常会请算命师傅或查“通书”挑选吉利日子。避开“白事日”，选择“黄道吉日”。
Families use the Chinese lunar calendar or consult a fortune teller to find a lucky date for the wedding. - 梳头礼 (Hair Combing Ceremony)
婚礼前一晚，在各自家中由长辈或“好命人”（婚姻幸福的人）为新人梳头四下：一梳梳到尾，二梳白发齐眉，三梳子孙满堂，四梳百年好合。
On the night before the wedding, a respected elder combs the bride and groom’s hair four times, each stroke symbolizing different blessings for a long and happy marriage.
👰🤵 婚礼当天 (Wedding Day)
- 接亲游戏 (Door Games)
新郎要闯“新娘家”的门，伴娘设置各种搞笑难关（如跳舞、答问题、背情诗、俯卧撑等）考验新郎的诚意和幽默感。
The groom must pass playful challenges set by the bridesmaids—like doing push-ups, singing, or love declarations—before he can “win” the bride. - 敬茶 (Tea Ceremony)
新人跪或半跪向双方父母和长辈敬茶，用红色茶具奉上茶水，以示孝敬。长辈喝茶后会给红包或传家宝（如金饰）祝福新人。
The couple kneels or bows and offers tea to their parents and elders, who then bless them with red envelopes or jewelry. - 红色主题 (Red Color Theme)
红色象征好运和幸福。传统婚服、请帖、婚礼装饰和红包都是红色的，有时还配上金色。
Red symbolizes luck and joy, so it’s used everywhere—from clothes to decorations and invitations.
