anyone beeen to a vietnamese wedding?? all i remember.. is that we woke up early on the wedding day and did the whole.. first we went to the brides house for the breakfast, where there were like.. full roasted pigs n ducks n stuff ,, then we went to the grooms house and we all stood around the room while presents were being given.

hmm.. i've only been to vietnamese weddings that are semi westernised i think. anyway i notice theres a lot different than english weddings.. like how the bride isn't given away by her dad, and theres no throwing of the bouquet or bridesmaids or best man (or so from the weddings i've been to)

I've been to quite a few VNmese weddings, and all of them are buddhists. But i've never been to a Christian one. I'm guessing that they don't do the whole groom-go-to-bride's house and bride-go-to-groom's house and eat there at noon and then go to the restaurant in the afternoon.

They do that too.

I've actually never been to a real traditional Vietnamese wedding. I am Catholic and so all the Vietnamese I know who get married does the whole walking-down-the-aisle-throw-the bouquet bit. It just depends on religion and most of the weddings I have attended incorporate both Catholic and Vietnamese traditions. Vietnamese Catholics still pick the bride up at her house, dine on roasted pigs and all that good stuff, then we head out to church for the religious, hence Western, tradition.
One thing for sure though, no Vietnamese has ever managed to arrive at a reception on time!!! Some things never change hehehe.
