One hundred couples joined a group wedding ceremony in HCM City yesterday, including workers, teachers and others with low incomes who could not afford a formal wedding. The couples received a wedding package that included an ATM account of VND2 million (US$95), wedding rings, parties, dresses, make-up, flowers and cakes. Photos and videos of the wedding were also part of the package. The couples also participated in a training course on marital psychology, reproductive health and family life. Since 2007, a total of 322 couples have taken part in the group weddings, which are organised by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union. — VNS Photo An Hieu
