父親醮子，而命之迎，男先於女也。子承命以迎，主人筵几於廟，而拜迎于門外。婿執雁入，揖讓升堂，再拜奠雁，蓋親受之於父母也。降，出御婦車，而婿授綏，御輪三周。先俟於門外，婦至，婿揖婦以入，共牢而食，合巹而酳，所以合體同尊卑以親之也。

The father gave himself the special cup to his son, and ordered him to go and meet the bride; it being proper that the male should take the first step (in all the arrangements). The son, having received the order, proceeded to meet his bride. Her father, who had been resting on his mat and leaning-stool in the temple, met him outside the gate and received him with a bow, and then the son-in-law entered, carrying a wild goose. After the (customary) bows and yieldings of precedence, they went up to the hall, when the bridegroom bowed twice and put down the wild goose. Then and in this way he received the bride from her parents. After this they went down, and he went out and took the reins of the horses of her carriage, which he drove for three revolutions of the wheels, having handed the strap to assist her in mounting. He then went before, and waited outside his gate, When she arrived, he bowed to her as she entered. They ate together of the same animal, and joined in sipping from the cups made of the same melon; thus showing that they now formed one body, were of equal rank, and pledged to mutual affection.
