The Daur ethnic group stresses obeying etiquette and customs.
During the wedding ceremony, the party accompanying the bride includes the groomsmen, bridesmaids and the bride's younger brothers and cousins. When they arrive at the bridegroom's house, the bridegroom's family has to take special care of the important guests. Before they enter the door, the bridegroom's family should first toast a cup of wine; after they enter the house, a welcoming dinner will be arranged. The family entertains the accompanying party with great hospitality.
However, groomsmen usually go out of the way to be picky, while the bride's younger brothers and cousins steal goblets, chopsticks, bowls and plates to make a game with their brother-in-law and his accompanying guests.
The following day, the party accompanying the bride leaves for their home. They wait for their chance to steal several goblets, bowls and plates, and are not willing to return them until the bridegroom goes up to them with some wine.
