So sánh đám cưới ở Việt Nam với một nước khác

Wedding is a ceremony which marks the engagement of
a couple. Because every country has different cultures,
wedding ceremony traditions in countries are different
from each other. Vietnam is a South East Asia country
with a distinctive culture while England is a Europe
country which has a totally contradistinct traditional
customs with Vietnam. Let's find out what the
similarities and differences between weddings in Vietnam
and in England are. Both countries share the similarity of
having marriage arranged by parents or guardians. They
both have an engagement but still differs from each
other. In Vietnam, the groom's relative family and
relatives go to the bride's home. They often hire about 10
to 20 boys and girls to hold estimatedly 8 trays that
contain betel leaves, areca nuts, wines, cigarettes... The
people who are hired often wear red ao dai. Meanwhile
female groom's relatives wear ao dai in their preferred
color (usually red or yellow)and male relatives usually
wear comple. In the engagement, two familes discuss
about the future of their children after their marriage
etc... On the contrary, England's engagement is a party
which is orgainzed by the groom and the bride. Families,
relatives, friends of bride and groom join together and
they are witnesses of the coming marriage. After that,
the couple then give reasons of the party to the guests.
They exchange rings and cut the cake. The wedding
ceremony of these two countries also have a noticeable
difference. England's common ceremony structure has 6
parts includes: invocation, main body, introduction to the
vows, vows, interchange of rings and the closing. The first
part is the invocation, in which the officiant typically
announces the purpose of the gathering, indicates the
names of the bride and groom, welcomes the guests and
solicits them to participate in the ceremony by their
presence and, perhaps, their prayer. Next is the main
body, when the officiant ruminates and the bride and
groom join together in the wedlock. The officiant may
also share more casual remarks about the bride and
groom as he or she has come to know them, and about
the fitness of their union. The portion of the ceremony
might also include religious or other readings by the
officiant or by other person who have been asked by the
bride and groom to speak. Before the vows, there is an
introduction explains the significance of the vows which
the couple are going to exchange. Then the bride and
groom individually affirm their commitment to one
another, in response to questions posed by the officiant,
the response usually take the form of “I do” or “I will”.
Then the couple will exchange rings to declare their
commitment and place them on their ring finger. To close
the wedding ceremony, the officant can officially
announce that the couple is married. What is your
imagination of a typical Vietnamese wedding ceremony ?
Would it be similar to England's ? In my opinion they are
very unlike each other. The date of the wedding is
carefully decided by a Buddhist monk or a fortune teller.
The wedding reception often takes place in a restaurant.
Before the wedding ceremony starts, the couple usually
stand at the gate to greet the guests and take some
picture to save the memory of this big day. The guests are
invited are relatives, friends... of the bride and groom. As
the groom and bride walk onto the stage, the ceremony
will begin with the announcement of the host and the
loud cheers from the guests. The parents of the couple
will have their speech for the big day of their children.
The couple will be asked if they commit to each other, to
live happily ever after. Then the engaged couple will cut
the wedding cake and pour the champange to swear
their loyalty to each other. After that, the main character
of the day - the groom and the bride will go from table to
table in order to show their gratefulness for the
attandance of the guests. During the ceremony, one part
can't be missing is the karaoke. It could be a professional
singer singing or it could be the guests singing. The point
of this is to make everyone have fun in this vital day. No
matter how diverse wedding tradition is, no matter
where you from, wedding day is one of the most
important days of your life.
