This 'saki, or 'wine, is prepared by two intimate female friends of the bride, who first pour it into the gold and silver lacquer vessels on the stand, which respectively represent the husband and wife, and then, taking the vessels in hand, mix the contents in a cup, and deliver it to the 'shewarin, or 'master of the ceremonies, who hands it to the bride, and then to the bridegroom, and both partake of the contents, which act constitutes the marriage.
Although young ladies are employed to mix the nuptial saki they do not attend on the bride. Such offices as are required are performed by a married couple, the shewarin and his wife.
