Ceremony on the Wedding Day itself

In the morning of the wedding day, "hair dressing" (Shang Tou) ritual is performed for the bride.
 A "good luck woman", woman with living parents, spouse and children, will come to help dressing up the bride's hair. The woman should also say auspicious words while tying up her hair in a bun, a style of married woman. The groom's family perform "capping" (Jia Guan) ritual for the groom at their home.  These rituals in Chinese culture symbolize that they are entering adulthood.
