THE WEDDING (JW💓QQ)
Ching Jin Wei💓❤️ Shevin Teoh Qingqi
The betrothal gifts for the bride's family delivered on 14.11.2016
1.1 - The Betrothal Gifts 娉礼 Exchange
In our modern context, this laborious process of unification between two families has been simplified into these important steps: Betrothal Gifts (娉礼/过大礼). The betrothal gifts are prepared based on the bride and groom’s dialect groups and is sent to the bride’s family to confirm the marriage agreement between the two families. In the olden days, the value of the betrothal gifts determines the financial stability of the groom.
It is a traditional way of thanking and showing respect to the bride’s parents for raising the bride, and a desire to forge good relations with the future parent-in-laws.
