negotiation with the bride family for her hands in marriage.
I’m a bit confused by your question
You don’t actually “ask the parent for her hand in marriage”
I mean you could do that
If you want their blessing first
BUT
You just bring the girl home
And make sure your parent knows
So they can rooster over your head….
The hmong carry basket is part of the wedding process
When the groom and bride goes to her mother side for the wedding
They will pack food, blankets and the items above.
