Days to avoid
These days are rated against engagement dates in the almanac, either because it forbids the occasion outright or because the day's officer and spirit weigh too heavily against a new beginning.
Make it personal
Engagements and betrothal gifts are read under 订盟 and 纳采. Families often settle this date first, since it anchors the wedding that follows. The list above is the general reading. A day that suits the almanac can still clash with your family's zodiac signs, and Vietnamese families add Tam Nương, Nguyệt Kỵ and Kim Lâu on top.
