Donning a mermaid tail dress made by famed Vietnamese designer Cong Tri, Hang let Minh escort her by hand.

Her dress was made from taffeta silk, with horizontal stripes being the highlight. She matched it with a long veil featuring three-dimensional flower appliques.

The party started when Minh sang “Manh Ghep Cua Hai Giac Mo” (Pieces of Two Dreams), a song composed by his musician friend Viet Anh that tells the story of a man who wants to accompany his romantic partner for the rest of their lives.

He then walked Hang down the aisle.

Minh’s father, Hang, and Minh then made their respective speeches in front of the guests.

“I had everything in my life except for a partner,” Hang told her family. “I’m bursting with emotions tonight, and I know that you’re ten times happier than me [seeing me getting married]. I appreciate that.”

Meanwhile, Minh said he was trembling despite having stood on countless important stages throughout his life. He said that his piano and singing performance at the beginning of the party might be the first and also the last time he played an instrument and sang at the same time.

“I hope everyone present here tonight will keep loving us in the future,” he said.
