At yet again an auspicious date and time (usually 2-3 days before the actual wedding), the bridal bed will be installed in the bridal room by a man of good fortune–one with a living husband, children, and grandchildren. During this ceremony, a woman of good fortune will cover the bed with new, red linen and a plate with dried longans, lotus seeds, red dates, persimmons, and a sprig of pomegranate leaves together with 2 red packets of money is placed on top of the bed. In some cases, a young, healthy boy jumps on the bed as this is believed to help the couple in conceiving children. This ritual is symbolic of a long-lasting union that is gifted with many offspring. Once the bridal bed has been installed, no one is allowed to sit or sleep in it until after the wedding.
