READING 2 Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite
young ages. Marriages were generally arranged by parents and family, with
their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In the past it was not
surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their
engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their
own marriage-partners based on love, and in consideration primarily to their
own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of
traditional Vietnamese occasions. Regardless of westernization, many of the
age-old customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding continue to be
celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both
western and eastern elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an
engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the
wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the
marriage ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune teller. The traditional
Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the first is
the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the
procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her
house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's house for another ancestor
ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding
banquet. The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually
in the hundreds. Several special dishes are served. Guests are expected to
bring gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet
will go from table to table collecting.
