On the morning of the wedding, the groom's wedding party will come to the bride's house to pick up the bride. Nowadays, picking up the bride is a highlight of the entire wedding. The first level is "getting started". If one wants to successfully win the beauty's heart, he must go through a series of intelligence and physical tests, and add songs and love words when necessary, but the most important thing is the generous "opening gift", and the door will only be opened after all the sisters are satisfied. The groom should marry the bride with a bouquet (the bride cannot make her own bouquet).

However, this is no longer a rule nowadays; if you want to kneel, you can do so to show your affection).
