Vietnamese Traditional Wedding Ancient traditions are revived, and cultural transcendence and interconnectedness
Different countries have different cultures, whether it is wedding and funeral celebrations, or various Xi, they all have their own unique styles, but this traditional Vietnamese wedding ceremony makes me feel a little familiar.
On the day of the wedding, the man and his parents, accompanied by the best man, waited in front of the woman's door to have their photo taken.
In Vietnam, the man's best man has to carry 7-9-11 plates with betel nut, leaves, champagne, sticky rice, fruit cakes, etc., 7-9-11 is auspicious in Vietnam, betel nut is candy, and leaf is a new beginning.
Then, the bridesmaids take the gifts from the tray, and according to tradition, the groomsmen start by saying some blessings, such as: "Many children, many blessings" and the like.
Next, the bride will hand a huge red envelope to her mother-in-law, while the bride will place a plate in the living room, which is a proof of status and respect for relatives and friends. It should be noted that red envelopes will be given 7 days before the wedding, and the red envelopes on the day will also start from 7-9-11, depending on the man's financial situation.
This is followed by a self-introduction by both family members, after which the groom will give the bride a pair of gold earrings, a gold necklace and a wedding ring. Wealthy families will make three additional golden necklaces and bracelets to symbolize the prosperity of the family, because both families are ** disciples and do not need too many rituals.
According to Vietnamese customs, only when the bride accepts this thing, she is already her daughter-in-law, and in the future, filial piety will be the main thing!
Next is the serving of tea, followed by the salutation of the bride, and both the best man and the best man have a cup, which is a blessing.
Next is the bride's wedding banquet, which is generally held in the village, but now the wedding banquet has been changed to a Western-style one, but the cook is not allowed to come, but by relatives and friends to cook in person, to show gratitude to relatives and friends.
When you return home, you must pray to Jesus before the spirits of your fathers and fathers before you can perform the ceremony. Next, it was the wedding of the groom's family, but this wedding was not too special.
It was a traditional wedding ceremony for a Vietnamese friend, and I can only say that it was very kind.
