The two family heads will consult the bride’s ancestors and as long as everything goes well, a wedding will be held some months later, normally in spring when the weather is warm.

I had attend a village wedding dinner before and now I know why the brides only serves the tea to their relative and elders in the night. It kinda of funny where the tea ceremony are serve in the night. Furthermore, when im a foreigner, they treat me like a king where they thought you are rich. Any bros here can talk about more about the wedding ceremony in Vietnam cos I intend to marry early 2012 and Im planning now. Need to know more about the tradition.
