(2) Do not join the Betrothal Ceremony and do not say good-bye to your relatives afterwards.

You and your groom must not join the Betrothal Ceremony. You may only come out afterwards, when it’s done, to take photos. You both should not bid your relatives farewell either, as this means you will get married again.

(3) Do not eat pastries during the Betrothal Ceremony.

You, the bride, must not eat pastries as well during the ceremony because the pastries represent your luck. Eating them means you will lose your own luck.

(4) Do not use paper fans during the Betrothal Ceremony.

Using paper fans during the Betrothal Ceremony is a no no! It means that the couple will break up–and no one wants that, for sure! So if in case the weather is hot, use electric fans instead.

(5) Don’t let the groom sleep alone the night before the wedding.

After the Matrimonial Bed Ceremony, the groom must not sleep on the new bed alone until the night of the wedding. It’s ideal that he finds a young boy that belongs to the rat, dragon, or tiger sign to accompany him. The bed must also be in the correct position. It must not be hitting other tables, cabinets or any sharp objects or else this will lead to more arguments between the couple.
