One Hundred Years of Vietnamese Weddings
“…there was a difficulty when my bride wanted to wear a white dress because my mother-in-law was afraid that white is the color of mourning… Luckily, when I took my future wife to choose fabric in an Indian silk shop at Trang Tien street, we found a piece of ivory crepe decorated with shining gold lame” (Mr.Vu Dinh Hoe, Thanh Nghi’s memoir, Literature Publishing house, H.2000, page 707).
