Ancient Chinese Wedding Custom – Post-wedding Ritual


The day following the wedding ceremony, the bride would serve tea to the groom’s family. At that time, she would be formally introduced to all the members of the groom’s family. She would serve tea in order, starting from the groom’s parents then proceeding from the oldest family members to the youngest ones. Lucky red envelopes which were filled with money or jewelry would be given to her after the tea was offered and a sip was taken.

Three days after the wedding ceremony, the couple would pay a visit to the bride’s family. At that time, the bride would not be considered a member of her original family any longer, instead, she would be received as a guest for her parents.
