The groom usually appears at the bride's home to take her away as family and friends "give her away." He usually comes in a car that's all done up with sashes and flowers. Often times, the groom has to knock many many times as the bride's family "refuses to open the door to him" as a joke. In some traditions, the groom has to "bribe" the children holding the door closed with loose change or candy.
