Weddings in Vietnam
Maria:
Hi Kevin! What are you reading?
Kevin:
Hello Maria! I'm reading a book about Vietnamese weddings.
Maria:
I see. Do you need the information for a school assignment?
Kevin:
Yes. I'm preparing for my presentation about the similarities and differences between a traditional Vietnamese wedding and a modern one.
Maria:
That's interesting! So what are the similarities?
Kevin:
Both weddings include the proposal ceremony, the engagement ceremony and the wedding ceremony.
Maria:
And the differences?
Kevin:
The ceremonies are less complicated in modern weddings.
Maria:
Sounds better. I guess the bride and groom will be much happier if they don't have to waste money on unnecessary things.
Read the conversation in GETTING STARTED again.
Kevin:
Well, in fact, wedding expenses these days are much greater than in the past.
Maria:
Why's that? What's the biggest cost?
Kevin:
The reception is the most expensive especially if it is held in a big hotel.
Maria:
I guess the couples get support from their families.
Kevin:
Yes, of course. Some parents cover most expenses of the wedding. The bride and groom also get money as presents from the guests.
Maria:
Sounds good. They're surely the happiest people on their wedding day no matter what the costs are!
Kevin:
That's true.
Maria:
Well, I have to go now. Good luck with your presentation!
Kevin:
Goodbye!

Đám cưới là một buổi lễ nơi mà các cặp đôi kết hôn. Vào ngày cưới cô dâu chú rể trao nhau quà cưới và nhẫn cưới. Trước ngày cưới, chú rể thường hỏi anh em, bạn bè và ba mình để tìm phụ rể. Phụ rể giúp chú rể chuẩn bị buổi lễ và chắc rằng không có gì sai vào ngày cưới. Cô dâu cũng có thể có một hay một vài dâu phụ. Dâu phụ giữ cô dâu bình tĩnh, giúp cô dâu chuẩn bị sẵn sàng và để ý váy cưới của cô ấy. Sau lễ cưới thường có một tiệc chiêu đãi dành cho khách. Theo truyền thống, cô dâu và chú rể tiếp tục tuần trăng mật ngay sau tiệc chiêu đãi đám cưới. Ngày nay, đa phần các cặp chờ vài ngày trước khi lên đường đi tuần trăng mật.
