The wedding ceremony is not only for young couples but also honors silver, gold, and diamond couples who have been together for decades, proving their lasting love and understanding. The organizers gave gifts from makeup, wedding dresses, hand-held flowers... along with blessings to the couples so that their love story can spread in the picture of happy Vietnam. Regardless of age, above all is love for each other, happiness for the days spent together, looking forward to a bright future.

The event has special significance in the atmosphere of the 80th anniversary of National Day and 50th anniversary of national reunification. Symbolizing 80 years of Independence - Freedom - Happiness of the country are 80 couples walking together on their big day.

Those 80 years are portrayed through 80 love stories of today's generation, stories that are not only told, but also honored in the most complete way.

In a warm and sacred atmosphere, 80 couples celebrated a joint wedding ceremony. Their happiness, born from peace and freedom, was not only a personal joy, but also the brightest affirmation of the aspiration for happiness of an entire nation.

In addition to the wedding event, within the framework of the Happy Vietnam Festival, there will also be a Vietnamese costume parade "Bach Hoa Bi Hanh" which will take place on the morning of December 7 at the Hoan Kiem Lake walking street.
