“送亲”是蒙古族的一种婚嫁习俗。女儿出嫁时，娘家邀请两位男性护送女儿到婆家。 6park.com

Wedding send-off is a time-honored tradition for the Mongol people. A day before the wedding, the groom and his folks will arrive at the bride's place. After a series of ceremonies and rituals on the wedding day, the groom will leave first. The bride will follow suit after a send-off ceremony, and escorted by her folks to depart for the groom, who will be waiting halfway. —————————————————————— 6park.com
