Xeej Cawv

Thare are many xeej cawv so if you really want to drink you can go through all of them. But there are a few that are very important and should probably never be skipped. These are marked with the asteriks *

tug chiv cawv : the person(s) who will decide on the types of cups that will be drank at the wedding ceremony
Depending the wedding, this can be the kaav xwm, the txiv txum mej koob, or two people could be asked to head the table and detemine these.

xeej cawv Tam Mej Koob Explain to me by Lug Pov, Some people think this one and the one above are the same one and uses the names inter changeably. Some people drink this one instead of the one above. For this one just as the Chiv Cawv announces the cup, a big cup is first poured for the Mej Koob and he drinks first. He will also speak of the wedding and what the in-laws said, then the chiv cawv drink then rest of table
lub nuav yog lub xeej cawv Tam Mej Koob es muab cob rua txiv tuam mej koob es meb haus tuaj.
xeej cawv zoo sab (Use the big cup), Before drinking this one, the mother and father drinks first, they can say a few words, then moves on to the Chiv Cawv. When this reaches the end of the table, the two at the end of the table passes it on to the older brother. Chob rua tug tij laug.
