Mariage Vietnamien

This week-end, we were invited to the wedding of Vy and Khang, a couple of vietnamese friends.

The vietnamese tradition wants that the groom and his family arrive in procession at the bride's home.
They are bearing elaborately decorated lacquer boxes, covered in red cloth. Inside these boxes are gifts representing the wealth the groom's family will bring to the bride's family. Gifts include: betel, wine, tea, fruit, cakes, a roast pig, and an abundance of jewelry for the bride.

A banquet party was held later in the day at a vietnamese restaurant.
It was interesting to see the different habits among the cultures.
Vy and Khang, once again, our most sincere congratulations, what a nice party !
