Behind the times Chinese Marriage Proposal

Every state has its own tradition, but every nation can be broke up into subgroups, and each subgroups have their own ways of living and thinking. In the case of Chinese citizens, some of them probably are still applying ancient traditions and some probably are not.

When it comes to behind the times Chinese habit a proposal for marriage is done in an elaborate manner. A go-between was very vital in this process because he took part as the mediator between the clans. In addition, parents of the bride-to-be and groom-to-be were the main persons for the negotiations and the possible couple has nothing to say about the preparations.

The boy's parents will indicated a girl they think would be a good wife for their son, and after they have picked a girl, they will ask the go-between to carry their gifts to the girl's parents and relatives.
When the girl's parents and relatives fixed, the go-between will keep detail of the hour and date of birth of the girl and will hand it over to the boy's parents. They will set the record in the altar within three days, and if nothing bad happens, they will send the data to an astrological expert.

If the expert found out that the horoscope of the boy and girl matched, then that is the time that the boy's hour and date of birth will be forwarded to the girls' parent to perform the same action. After the girl's family implemented the same procedure and nothing bad happens within three days, that is when both families will eventually meet in person.
