POST-WEDDING RITUAL
Day After the Wedding
On the day after the wedding, the bride awoke early to attend honor the ancestors at dawn. It was only then that she was then formally introduced to the groom’s relatives and friends. As she knelt before each of the older relatives, she received a small gift. The bride’s parents-in-law gave her a title according to her husband’s seniority in the family hierarchy.
Three Days After the Wedding
In general, three days after the wedding, the couple paid a visit to the bride’s family home, where the bride is now received as a guest.
