Abstract

Each nation, religion, and culture has its own customs and practices for organizing weddings. Vietnamese Catholic weddings not only preserve traditional wedding customs but also carry profound spiritual meaning. A Catholic wedding combines the ethical beauty of Catholicism with the traditional culture of the nation. For Vietnamese Catholics in general, and at Tien Chu Parish in particular, the wedding ceremony is not only a family event but also a solemn and sacred occasion that connects all generations and honors traditional cultural values.

Keywords: Catholic wedding ceremony, ancestral rituals, sacrament of marriage, wedding customs, marriage procedures.
