在江浙一带，新婚夫妇在睡觉前有争压衣物抢上风的习俗。如浙江新郎会在为新娘摘下凤冠的时候，取下自己头上的礼帽压在凤冠上面，俗称“礼帽压凤冠，夫君管新娘”，表示新娘结婚之后听丈夫的。在扬州水乡，则流行“磕鞋”的风俗，两人脱鞋上床，谁后脱鞋便可把自己的鞋放在上面，表示日后为上，一般女子都会让丈夫把鞋放到上面，俗称“男鞋为天，女鞋为地”；也有好强的女子就是不脱鞋，新郎急着想上床，只好自己先脱鞋，让新娘的鞋压到上边，情愿以后做“妻管严”。
有的地方还有闹洞房偷衣服的风俗。江南南昌就是新娘和新郎上床安睡时，还有闹房的亲友躲在新床下面，等到新郎新娘睡着了。偷了新人的衣服跑出去，然后敲打铜锣，把周围的人都惊醒。这时新郎新娘也吓醒了，可是却发现自己的衣服都不见了。
Teasing the bride on wedding

marriage is " the more be teased, the better your life become", teasing
the bride can not only increase the festive atmosphere, but also

prosperity after marriage.
In the area of Jiangsu
and Zhejiang provinces, the custom that new couple jostle with one another for honor
by putting one’s own thing on the top before go to bed does really prevail. Take
Zhejiang as an example, the bride will put his hat on the Phoenix Coronet after
he taking off it for the groom, commonly known as the "hat-Phoenix
Coronet, husband rules brides", and it is to say the bride will defer to her
husband after the wedding.
In Yangzhou, the custom
"knock shoes" is fashionable, the new couple take their shoes off to
bed, the one who take off later may put his/her shoes on the top, expressed he/she
is honorable on the future. But woman usually makes her husband put shoes on
the top, commonly known as "men's shoes to be the sky, women's are the
ground"; even so, there is sturdy women just don't take shoes off, and the
groom, who is anxious to go to bed, taking off his shoes first, willing to be
" hen-pecked husband".
In some places there is

bridal chamber. Nanchang, the capital city of Jiangxi province, is such a
place. When the new couple has fallen asleep, the relatives and friends hide under
the marriage bed will steal the clothes of the couple and run out, then wake up
people around by beating gong and drum. At this time, the bride and groom also
woke up scared, but found their clothes are gone.
