The merry procession went on from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. The folks had sent Qin Yirou off to Ge Junjian's house with kind enthusiasm and warmth.
The trip from Zhang Meihua's house in Xinjiang Town to Ge Junjian's house was only a formality. The bride would usually stay in the groom's place upon being sent off and the two of them would go to the hotel at night.
Before going to the hotel, though, the bride would usually have changed out of the thick and heavy white wedding gown.
Once Qin Yirou arrived in Ge Junjian's house and was done with the formality, she took off said big and bulky white wedding dress and put on a radiant red qipao that she would wear to the wedding reception.
The bright red qipao was adorned with a sense of traditional charm. Qin Yirou was already slim in figure, a good match for the qipao as its elegance and charm were usually best portrayed in women with exceptional proportions. The qipao looked just right on Qin Yirou.
