Marriages were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their engagement or marriage. In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners 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 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. 1. In the past, _________. a. Vietnamese couples were free to make a decision on the marriage b. Vietnamese marriage was decided by parents and family c. getting married at an early age was not allowed d. parents had no right to interfere their children's marriage 2. In former days, the fact that a bride and groom had only first met just on the day of their engagement or marriage was _________. a. surprising b. popular c. uncommon d. strange 3. Which sentence is referred Vietnamese modern marriage? a. Most young people do not have their marriage based on love. b. All marriages are arranged by parents and family. c.

Oversea Vietnamese people do not like to organize a traditional wedding b. There is an engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding c.
