The marriage customs of Xiamen Port people are different. In the stage of family boat and husband-wife boat, the young couple got married, the man took a boat to the woman's house, and the matchmaker helped the bride ferry, so there was another husband-and-wife boat at sea. If you get married on the shore, the fisherman gets married in a black sedan chair and enters the door at night, just the opposite of people on land who enter the door in a red sedan chair in the morning. This custom is called "black is red", which means that the fisherman's bad life has become a good life, and bad luck has become a blessing. In the harbor, there are some water houses for fishing and transportation, commonly known as "Five Sails". In the old society, they could only marry within the family. If there is a woman waiting for you, you must spend a pot when you put the roof on the boat and arrange flowers when you get married. This has become a unique style of folk customs.
