What are the customs and precautions for getting married?

——Taboos in weddings: Avoid having pockets on the dress and avoid having raw flowers on the bouquet <br /> All the dresses, wedding gowns, shoes, etc. that the bride wears on the wedding day should be brand new, and the dress should avoid having pockets, because pockets can take away the fortune of the bride's family, so it is best to choose one without pockets. The bride should avoid choosing raw flowers for her bouquet as they wither easily and are a taboo in weddings. If you have to choose, it is best to choose combo flowers and pomegranates. The shape of the Lianzhao flower symbolizes a girl getting married, and the pomegranate symbolizes many children and grandchildren. Wedding couplets should be hung up on the eve of the wedding at the latest and should be taken down one month after the wedding. When purchasing couplets, the couplets for the man and the woman should be distinguished.
——Time taboo: avoid March, June, and July <br /> Try to avoid getting married in June, March, and July. According to traditional customs, a bride who gets married in the sixth month of the lunar calendar is called a "half-month wife" because June is half of the whole year. A June bride is equivalent to a half bride, which is equivalent to having a front but no back, and the couple is prone to divorce after marriage. If a direct relative dies suddenly in the family, then it is not advisable to hold weddings or register for marriage in that year, otherwise it will be a violation of "birth and death". In addition, March and July of the lunar calendar are the times when ghosts are most likely to appear. For the elders, getting married in the above special months is not a good omen, so try to avoid them.
——Returning to the bride’s parents’ home on the third day: The groom accompanies the bride to her parents’ home<br /> Three days after the wedding, the groom accompanies the bride to her parents’ home, commonly known as “returning to the bride’s home”. On the day of returning to the bride’s home, the groom must rush back to the husband’s home before sunset. If he is too late, the newlyweds can stay at the bride’s home overnight. Remember not to sleep in the same room, but must sleep separately to avoid bringing bad luck to the bride’s family. In addition, it is best for newlyweds not to spend the night outside.
——It is also forbidden to attend any weddings or funerals within four months of marriage.
