Bed Setting (Installing the Bridal Bed)
Preparation on the part of the groom involved the installation of the bridal bedon the day before the wedding. A propitious hour and a ‘good luck woman’ or ‘good luck man’, that is a man or women with many children and living mates, were selected to install a newly purchased bed. (The installation ceremony consisted of merely moving the bed slightly; the actual work was done by servants or friends.)

After the bed was in place, children were invited onto the bed as an omen of fertility –; the more, the merrier. For the same reason, the bed was scattered with red dates, oranges, lotus seeds, peanuts, green bean, red bean, and other fruits. Part of the fun was watching the children scramble for the fruit.


安床
婚礼前数天的吉日,由好命婆将新床在有利于新人的吉位安床,然后铺上龙凤被,并撒上红绿豆、莲子、红枣、桂圆、核桃等喜果。安床后亲人便不可睡新床,孕妇、带孝者及有月事之女性更不可入内。此外,安床后,要让小孩子跳床,并吃喜果,古称[压床],有开枝散叶之意。[上阁]举行婚礼前最重要的仪式、礼节是[上阁]及[上头]。[上阁]是准新娘出嫁前一段时间留在家中一角,通常是闺房或阁楼之内,由一班闺中姊妹、密友陪伴,暂时摆脱平日的生活习惯,做好心理准备,以求日后能适应男家陌生的生活环境。新娘会直至出嫁当日和离开阁楼,因此,俗称姑娘出嫁为[出阁]。现代人也有类似[上阁]的活动,新娘于婚礼前的一晚邀请姊妹、密友在女家留宿整晚互诉心事,为明天踏上人生另一阶段作好准备。虽然偶然也有姊妹们情绪激动落泪的情况,但整体气氛仍是充满欢欣的。
