Recently my elder sister got married and this was an especial wedding ceremony in my life. I was both exhilarated and sad at the same time and this would make me remember this ceremony for the rest of my life. 

      The marriage reception took place at our home, Phuc Yen city, which is a beautiful place. And almost three hundred guests including many relatives, neighbors and my parents’ colleagues, were present at the ceremony.

      My elder sister, Phuong Mai, who is my only sister was getting wedded to his boyfriend- Tung. They had a 5 years’ relationship and after they got their parents’ blessings, they decided to tie the knot. I was a sophomore student at that time and the ceremony was arranged during my semester break. I was looking forward to being a part of the ceremony as I wanted a memorable wedding reminiscence for my loving sister.  The wedding venue was decorated well with lightings and people were dressed to kill in traditional dresses and suits. The principal colors were likely to be white and pink. Apart from this, the wedding was just amazing as it included several delicious and mouth-watering dishes while a wide variety of sweets were just enough to lure everyone to eat more and more.

      This was a special wedding to me as one of my most beloved persons was starting a new phase in her life. It was also a good chance to saw my old friends and we all had a great time. We took a lot of pictures with the bride and the bridegroom and definitely made the most of the occasion. We danced all night and we just had a huge fun. I enjoyed this wedding ceremony a lot. I gave her a special gift that only both can know the meaning to celebrate her wedding day. I cannot remember any other event so touchy for me and this is a day I will always remember.

Today's concept of the importance of a wedding remains intact. However, the creation of a married couple is no longer too dependent on the community. In fact, the right to decide belongs to the young couple. This also allows the bride and groom to be more personal at the wedding.

From the legal side, as long as a couple has a marriage certificate, they are protected by the law. However, the common concept of all couples is that getting married must be approved by both families and informed to relatives and friends.

      In addition to traditional weddings as before, brides and grooms also organize weddings held at wedding venues such as restaurants, wedding centers, hotel wedding halls or family group. The bride and groom poured champagne and cut wedding cakes to both sides of the family. Then they exchanged wedding rings.

After the wedding day, the newlyweds often bring gifts to the bride's house for the family ceremony and visit the bride's parents, brothers, sisters and sisters. On this occasion, the bride's family often makes rice for the bride and groom to eat with the family.

      This custom is maintained with the meaning of reminding children of filial piety, gratitude for birth, and nurturing of parents, strengthening the family.
