What is a dam hoi?
This Vietnamese engagement ceremony is a formal step in the Vietnamese wedding process.
FORMALLY KNOW AS LE DINH HON, THIS EVENT PRECEDES THE WEDDING DAY. DURING THIS CEREMONY, THE GROOM'S FAMILY VISITS THE BRIDE'S FAMILY WHERE THE GROOM WILL OFFICIALLY ASK FOR THE BRIDE'S HAND IN MARRIAGE.
What to expect?
The Dam Hoi begins with a procession led by the groom and his family to the bride's family home.
THE GROOM AND HIS FAMILY WILL PRESENT ADORNED TRAYS (MÂM QUÀ) WITH GIFTS. AFTER INTRODUCTIONS, THE BRIDE AND GROOM WILL PRAY AT THE ANCESTRAL ALTAR. A CEREMONIAL TEA SERVING FOLLOWS FOR PARENTS AND ELDERS. ONCE THESE DUTIES ARE COMPLETE, CELEBRATIONS WILL BEGIN. THIS CEREMONY IS FOR IMMEDIATE FAMILY ONLY, BUT A MODERN ENGAGEMENT PARTY WILL FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY AFTER.
LET'S CELEBRATE!
