In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages

in the matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on

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 Trang 2
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. 23. In the past _______.
