Viet Nam's common bride gave her old lover her first night

The next morning in Ho Chi Minh City, I went for a walk in front of the hotel to see what was happening there.

By chance, there was a wedding car parked in front of a wedding company, which had a small front and was not luxuriant, but was also pretty dressed in flowers.

It was regrettable that the ceremony had not been seen because of official duties and could not wait.

As a result of this interest in Vietnamese marriage customs, embassy comrades and local friends told me that Vietnamese girls are gentle and beautiful, and Vietnamese marriages are strange and, in some cases, incredible.

The strangest is the three marriages.

One is the "first night" " Shane" wedding.

In some tribes of the barbarians in northern Viet Nam, there is a “ Shane” marriage tradition that allows old lovers to take over the “first night”.

Before marriage, a bride often had an old lover.

If it is established that a person is engaged, the relationship with other lovers is severed.

According to traditional practice, the bride on the night of the wedding does not live in the bride's room, but rather spends the last night with her old lover as a sign of “ Shane”.

Since then, he has cut off all ties with the old man and is fully loyal to his husband, and will not be subjected to any other misdemeanours.

The second is "kidnapping." The way young men and women love Lo Lo, who live in the mountains of northern Viet Nam, is a special way in which they use wires to pierce a bamboo barrel into a loudspeaker, and the boy sends a message to his beloved girl through a homemade amplifier, who says, “I love you very much, and I will open my heart to you.

If you love me too, I'll take you home as my wife." If a girl wants a boy, she says, "Don't you know I've been in love with you for a long time? But remember, your love should not be just sweet words." So the boy realized that the girl had agreed to his proposal and he was going to marry the girl.

At some point, both men and women planned privately that girls would first sneak out of their homes and that a group of young boys would “kidnapped” the girl to the boy's home.

When the man takes the girl, he kills the pig and celebrates the success.

The next day, the bride was informed at home, and on the third day, the matchmaker went to talk to her。
