Selection of auspicious dates 看日子
Auspicious dates are required for the chinese wedding, the betrothal and installation of the bridal bed. A chinese monk, a temple official or a fortune teller are able to advice on a suitable date based on the coupleÂ’s birth dates and times. Some may also refer to the chinese calendar or almanac for good days. Usually, even numbered months and dates are preferred and the lunar seventh month is avoided as it is the month of the Hungry Ghost Festival.
After the selection of the auspicious dates, wedding details such as types and quantities of betrothal gifts, return gifts, brideÂ’s price 娉金, and number of tables at the wedding banquet provided by the groomÂ’s parents for the brideÂ’s parentsÂ’ guest are agreed.
Betrothal 过大礼/纳彩
Up to a month and at least three days before the wedding day, the groom and a friend or a matchmaker will deliver the betrothal gifts on the auspicious date chosen.
Western and chinese wedding cakes, peanut candies, together with two bottles of brandy, at least six tins of canned pork legs and even number of oranges are included in the wedding gift baskets. Two pairs of dragon and phoenix candles 龙凤烛are also included. Also included is gold jewellery from the groomÂ’s parents to the bride such as the cantoneseÂ’s dragon and phoenix bangle 龙凤琢 or the teochewÂ’s four items of gold四点金.
Some include the brideÂ’s price with the betrothal gifts whereas some will only present it when the groom fetches the bride.
In the return gifts, the 2 bottles of brandy will be replaced with 2 bottles of orange syrup. An even numbered portion of all the other gifts are returned to the groomÂ’s family together with the 2 phoenix candles. The brideÂ’s side will light the 2 dragon candles and the groomÂ’s side the phoenix candles on the morning of the wedding day.
Some hokkien family will also request for a bunch of bananas and red dates to be included in the return gifts. A red packet for the groomÂ’s parents to buy shoes is required. The bride will also present towels to the parents, grandparents, aunt, uncles and groomÂ’s siblings.
After the betrothal, the chinese wedding invitations are distributed.
Deliver the bride's dowry 送嫁妆
The brideÂ’s parents may include the bride's dowry with the return gifts on the day of betrothal or deliver the dowry a few days before the wedding. The chinese dowry typically include
- beddings such as pillows, bolsters, comforter set, blankets, bed sheets, etc., all tied with red ribbons;
- new clothes in a suitcase for the bride (in the past, wardrobes or wooden wedding chests are used.);
- tea set for the wedding tea ceremony;
- baby bathtub, potty, face washbasin, tumblers, toothpaste and toothbrushes, mirror, comb;
- two pairs of red wooden clogs wedding slippers or bedroom slippers;
- sewing basket with even numbered rolls of colourful thread, needles, pincushion, scissors, and sewing wax with auspicious words on it;
- gold jewellery given by brideÂ’s parents.
Install the bridal bed 按床
A good fortune woman will install the bridal bed in the bridal room up to 12 days before the wedding day on an auspicious date. New red or pink bedsheets are used and a plate of dried longans, lotus seeds, red dates, persimmons, sprig of pomegranate leaves together with 2 red packets are placed on the bed. A pair of bedside lamps is lit to symbolize adding sons to the family.
Hair combing ceremony 梳头
Good fortune women will conduct this ceremony for the bride and groom in their respective homes the night before the chinese wedding. After showering with water infused with pomelo or pomegranate leaves, the bride and groom will change into a new set of clothing and shoes. The good fortune women will bless them aloud as they sit in front of an open window with a visible moon or in front of the mirror.
The four blessings are:
一梳梳到尾，(First combing, together all your lives)
二梳百年好合，(Second combing, harmony in your marriage)
三梳子孙满堂，(Third combing, blessed with many children and grandchildren)
四梳白发齐眉。(Fourth combing, blessed with longevity.)
Sweet pink rice ball soup汤圆 will be served after the hair combing ceremony to wish the couple a complete and sweet marriage.
Chinese wedding decorations 大喜装饰
Double joy 双喜stickers will be placed on all wedding items such as the betrothal gifts, dowry, the coupleÂ’s toiletries and cosmetics. The bridal room furniture, especially the mirror and cupboards will also be decorated with the double joy or other wedding paper cutouts such as pairs of mandarin ducks, dragon and phoenix, etc. Such red wedding paper cutouts will also be put up on the main door, bridal room door and generally around the house.
A red banner 红彩帘 will be hung across the front doors of the two household to announce the joyous event.

What was so special about the Phoenix Gold MPH-6300 and why was it so Expensive? At $99,000?
http://www.realmofexcursion.com/ampguts/Phoenix_Gold_MPH-6300/
the one pic that shows the internals looks like they may have used solid gold for some of the internal components.
Custom one off amp by a major manufacturer using all of their resources at the time. that would explain the price.
Also since they built it they can put whatever price they want, that way no one would buy it.
