When the bride finally goes out to ascend the
car, a bridesmaid will hold a red umbrella over her head,
meaning "raise the bark, spread the leaves." Other
relatives will scatter rice, red bean and green bean on her. The
red umbrella protects the bride from evil spirit, and the rice
and beans are to attract the attention of the gold chicken.
When the bridal sedan ( motorcade nowadays) arrives the groom's home, firecrackers
and music with gongs and drums greets the bride. The bride will
leap
over a iron basin with lit charcoal inside. It is a ritual to
bring prosperity and keep evils away.
