| The Tibetan people living in different areas have unique marriage customs related to geography, natural conditions, religion, cultural background, and habits and customs. There are luxurious and simple weddings.
Generally speaking, when talking about marriage, the young man and girl cannot be of the same bone system, and should be suited to each other based on the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. When proposing, the young man invites a matchmaker to present the gifts such as hada to the girl's parents. If the girl's parents take the gifts, that means they have accepted it. They select a lucky day to write the betrothal invitation and present the "milk price" and gifts to girl's parents.
Before the marriage, the groom must present clothes, headwear and bracelets.
On the day of fetching the bride, a mounted delegation headed by a person with high status is assembled. The bride's side must hold a ceremony of sending a party to escort the bride to the groom's house.
After the bride arrives at the groom's house, a marriage feast must also be hold besides a series of rites. |
