The bride and groom are covered with blankets 'in the dark' in front of the guests - strange custom of the West

Vietnam is a country rich in identity and culture, each place, each region, and each ethnic group has its own way of organizing a wedding ceremony according to its own customs.

And of course, there are rituals that are familiar to grandparents but foreign to the younger generation, making people admire when they are witnessed.

Typically, recently, a video of a wedding in the West is becoming the focus of curiosity of netizens. During the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom were performing in front of the altar of ancestors and guests, when suddenly the family brought out a large blanket.

The two men pushed the bride and groom into the blankets, stretching them like a curtain to block everyone's eyes. While the guests wait, the bride and groom do something inside the blanket.

After a few minutes, the bride and groom came out, smiling happily. The two of them held a handful of areca in their hands. The two put their areca pieces on a plate, accompanied by betel leaves, and then took a souvenir photo.

The couple's "mysterious behavior" makes the social network extremely curious, not knowing what this is a custom, what it means; what did they do for more than 1 minute avoiding people's eyes like that.

Fortunately, there was a comment that deciphered this action: "This is the custom of winning betel nut and areca in some families in the old West: "Before covering the blanket (blanket), the celebrant puts the tray of betel nut and then covers it. blanket closed. It is customary to cover it in darkness, so that the bride and groom can't see inside.

After that, the bride and groom competed for betel nut in the tray. Old grandparents said, whoever gets the most will be the one in power in the house." This comment was shared by many people, saying that this custom is quite old, handed down from ancient times. To this day, most families The family has abandoned the process of covering the blankets, so many young people do not know.

There is also a house, the bride has her own room, two people enter the room and then they both pick the areca berries and betel leaves and arrange them on a plate, the higher the better. Someone also teased that, with the number of petty scoundrels overwhelming the groom, according to custom, the bride in the clip above is indeed a "quality roof".

Perhaps when seeing this wedding ceremony, many young people will feel excited and "broke" at a strange custom, although taking place in the West, it is unlikely that the locals have known or witnessed it. However, this proves the cultural diversity of our nation, even though it's just a matter of marriage, there are many ways to organize it.

Again, in modern times, many young people want to simplify their marriage, so they should make it as compact as possible, which is fine, but sometimes it "fades" some customs of their grandparents.

So, when a certain family tries to "restore" it, people become excited, because it's been a long time since they've seen a traditional wedding. This does not know whether to be happy or sad, to let go or to keep, it probably depends on each individual's point of view.

In addition, young people now often follow modern trends, preferring to choose wedding venues in luxurious and lavish restaurants, there are couples who refuse to invite guests at home and do the procedures only to watch. as symbolic, perfunctory.

However, there are also young couples who like the rustic rustic, like to be celebrated at home, in the hometown where they were born and raised to meet friends, family, and childhood again. As the image of the blanket is a symbol for a young couple "sharing a blanket and a pillow", but surely, only in the countryside can this custom still be kept.

Remember not long ago, a wedding in Ha Tinh caused a stir in the online community, when the groom Dinh Han decided to borrow 5 plows from his neighbor to carry out the wedding.

The 29-year-old wanted to do something different. " Many times when I visited my hometown, I saw the plow running a lot in the field, I wanted the wedding to remind me of my hometown and agriculture, so I decided to use the plow to pick up the bride".

Mr. Han and his friends went to buy the word song, blow the balloon back, bend the heart-shaped bamboo stick, and then wrap the ball around the plow to decorate the "strawberry car". When he saw him handing the plow, his wife was happy and laughed all the time. The wife's parents also eagerly followed, sending their children to her husband's house. Their wedding was then shared by many people, live-streamed on social networks.

Perhaps in the Vietnamese mind, the wedding ceremony is more valuable than the marriage certificate. Therefore, whether traditional or modern, urban or rural, we still hope that young people try to preserve the customs of their ancestors a little more, sometimes a little bit extreme, a little new, but really very interesting. heartwarming.
