The musicians accompanying the groom followed the bride, carrying a red wedding palanquin decorated with symbols of happiness. - On the way they were met by members of the bride's family and invited into the house. The guests presented gifts, and the bride's father, in turn, presented gifts to the guests. - At the appointed hour, the bride's relative carried the bride, who was sitting on a chair, to the palanquin. Custom forbade the bride to walk on the ground, so as not to bring dirt into the groom's house. - At the groom's house, the palanquin was greeted with fireworks. A fire was lit in the courtyard by the gate. When the palanquin was carried over the gate, oil was poured into the fire. The blazing flame symbolized the prosperity of the new family. - The groom met the bride at the door of the house. They walked across the carpet to the home altar to bow to Heaven and Earth, and made four bows to the spirits of Heaven and Earth, the Sun and Moon, the Lords of the Elements of Water and Earth, and finally to their parents. - Then the young people bowed to each other four times. This ceremony was considered an official notification of the divine powers about the marriage. - At the end of the ceremony, the young husband led his wife to the room reserved for them. Upon crossing the threshold, the first thing he did was shoot arrows into the corners, driving out evil spirits. - The young people sat on the sofa and sat in silence for a while.
