In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages.
Marriages were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little
chance to say no in the matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and
groom had only just met on the day of their engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own
marriage-partners based on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and
wants. Moreover early marriage is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional
Vietnamese occasions. Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs
practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding continue to be celebrated by both

Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and eastern
elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which
takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the
occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune
teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies:
the first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the
procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third
is to bring the bride to the groom's house for another ancestor ceremony and to welcome
her into the family, then the last is a wedding banquet. The number of guests in
attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several special dishes are
served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one
point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting.
