Li Chengyin loves Xiao Feng so much! At first, he was looking forward to marrying Xiao Feng, even if they could have nothing. However, when he was on the brink of life and death, Xiao Feng told him her thoughts about their wedding night, and Li Chengyin thus confirmed that Xiao Feng, like me, also cherished their wedding night. She did care about him; she valued their wedding night a lot. Xiao Feng's words directly led to Li Chengyin later customizing an imperial robe for Xiao Feng with the same style as her wedding dress. He wanted to gradually make Xiao Feng happy, take her to climb the Zhuque Gate together, and make her realize that their marriage is recognized by the whole world, unquestionable, and supreme, and no one can intervene between us. Moreover, at that time, Li Chengyin would surely return from Gu Jian with injuries. He believed that Xiao Feng would definitely feel sorry for him. If he took the opportunity to hold onto Xiao Feng tightly, perhaps Xiao Feng would agree to be intimate with him, and he could finally fulfill his regret of not having a wedding night with his beloved.
Sixth, I wonder what kind of wedding gift you are going to send. It is a behavior between two people. The wedding is a personal event, and you should give a good gift to express your heartfelt wishes. You should also offer some wedding blessings during the ceremony. Here are some suggestions: Wedding couple dolls are a Western tradition to play with the newlyweds, and you should also give some auspicious gifts, such as a pair of cute dolls or a pair of rings. Since it is for newlyweds, you can decorate them accordingly, achieving both purposes.
The clothing must be genuine Hanfu, not the studio costumes from period dramas! Many Han weddings now use studio costumes. A wedding happens only once, so using studio costumes would lose its original meaning. Frankly speaking, studio costumes generally have exaggerated styles, poor quality materials, and add a vulgar feeling to the wedding. Do more research and learn about related knowledge in advance, whether buying costumes or anything else, don't get cheated by merchants who don't really understand but just want to make money. Regarding the procedures, there is no need to fully restore ancient customs; things that cannot be done or are inconvenient can be omitted, but don't change them randomly, as that would lose the original meaning. Finally, I wish you a happy wedding!
After the newlyweds exchange bows, they should sit facing each other, which is called “dui xi.” The positions are male on the west and female on the east, symbolizing the gradual union of yin and yang. “Tong lao” refers to the newlyweds sharing food from the same animal. “He jin” means the couple drinks from cups that have been exchanged, not the arm-locked drinking seen in many misleading period dramas. “He jin” originally means breaking a gourd (melon) into two halves, which can be put back together to form a complete vessel. The gourd is bitter, and the wine in it is bitter too. By dividing the gourd, it symbolizes the union of the couple through the wedding. Therefore, the couple drinking from the “he jin” cup not only symbolizes their union but also their eternal bond. This is part of the Zhou Dynasty wedding ceremony.

The ancient bridge, built in 637 AD, is located on the east side of Xiaotong Street in the ancient town.

Chen Nuo, a seasoned wedding planner, has organized and planned many Hanfu weddings for newlyweds. She told reporters that the Hanfu weddings she plans are also known as Zhou Dynasty weddings, originating from the Zhou Dynasty and serving as the prototype of classical Chinese weddings. During the Han and Zhou periods, black and red were revered, and Hanfu weddings typically choose red-black paired quju or yi, symbolizing the virtues of women being loyal and men being upright.
