Vietnam: Marriage Customs · Global Voices
Preetam Rai

Lebotuan describes how a marriage is proposed in Vietnam with the boy's family visiting the girl's family. “On the predetermined date, the boy's famile will come with some traditional offering: betel and areca and rice wine. They should be the boy's parent, his brothers or sisters, aunties and uncles. Regarding the girl's family, they have to prepare something to serve during the meeting. What they talk about is that the boy's family asks the girl's parent for the permission to marry.”
