Bride and bridegroom drink libation alternately, and bonds of marriage are connected. This is a ceremony that is called "3-3-9 do (3-3-9 times)". 1...The libation of a small glass is drunk in bridegroom and bride and bridegroom's order. 2...The libation of a medium glass is drunk in bride and bridegroom and bride's order. 3...The libation of a large glass is drunk in bridegroom and bride and bridegroom's order. Three times three is nine. Bride and bridegroom swear the marriage in front of the god. All members stand up and hear that.
