Before marriage, women make these dowries into red wedding shirts and lace skirts. The man is a high-altitude buttoned coat with long black trousers.
In the evening, many relatives and friends gathered at the man's house by boat to attend the wedding reception. Dozens of ships are moored together, with their bows facing the bow, and a canopy is set up with red cloth. The glib bride sang salty songs while offering tea, and also received red packets of tea. Later, the wedding reception began, with noise, laughter, singing, amusement and lively scenes. Friends and relatives kept rocking the boat until late at night.

Although the marriage of Yi children follows the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, it has its own characteristics and is full of romance. Qu Dajun, a litterateur in Qing Dynasty, wrote "Cantonese New Words Zhou Yu Egg's Boat", saying: "An egg takes a boat as its home, which is called the egg home. If a person is not employed, put a pot of grass at the tip; If a woman doesn't find a job, she will put potted flowers at the tip to create a matchmaker. When you get married, you are greeted by a beautiful song. If the male song wins, you will win the female boat. " Chen Tan, a poet in Qing Dynasty, wrote in his poem Qijiadun: "Lu Yu in Longhu is a human being, hiding in the depths of water clouds. Pot grass is very romantic, and singing fishing songs is also good. "
