Preplanned crying in Tujia, China

It is true that a wedding day is such an emotional day for the brides, but the Tujia people in China take it to another level. A month before the wedding, the bride was mandated to cry for 1 hour every day: the first 10 days, by herself; the next 10 days, with the mother; and 10 days after that, her grandmother. By the end of the month, the females of the family will be joining the crying rituals alongside the bride. This is not a cry of sadness, but an expression of joy.
