After the Opening Ceremony of the Happy Vietnam Festival - Vietnam Happy Fest 2025 on the morning of December 6, the most anticipated part was the collective wedding of 80 couples. The moment they stepped onto the stage together, holding hands tightly, exchanging affectionate looks and sweet kisses made the whole space seem to be at ease.
The happy laughter blends with emotional tears, from the young couple wearing their first wedding outfits to the " silvery- toothed" couple with enduring love. All of this has created a warm, sacred atmosphere, filled with the happiness of many generations.
Throughout the ceremony, the love stories shared touched the hearts of everyone attending.
From the harsh challenges to the present peaceful moment, each story is like a "seed" inspiring the power of perseverance and loyalty.
Among them, there is a particularly touching story of the couple Nguyen Van Cua and Nguyen Thi Hoa. The two have been together for 16 years, but for 8 years, Mr. Cua had to use a wheelchair due to a work accident.
Recalling the dark days, Ms. Hoa said that at that time, she only had one thought - that was how to bring her husband back to life "at all costs".
Mr. Cua said that during his coma, he "only remembered each wife's name". It is love that repels despair, becoming the motivation for them to overcome adversity.
At this special wedding, Ms. Hoa said in choked up, tears: "I love his patience. He is always patient with me in everything."
At the collective wedding ceremony, there were families with two generations appearing on stage. Both parents and son - daughter-in-law held hands to share the happiness on the special day, creating a warm, emotional and symbolic image.
In addition to couples who have lived together for decades, the program also attracts young couples, even couples who are not married but want to keep a meaningful milestone in their love journey. Typical examples are Ms. Huong Giang and Mr. Minh Hoang from Hanoi.
She shared: "We intended to get married that year, so when we learned about this program, we registered to participate. We found the program very meaningful and also partly to rehearse before the wedding next year, and at the same time leave an impression on our love journey.
To prepare for this event, we woke up at 3am, 4am we were here. At that time, I was able to try on a wedding dress and makeup, while the groom tried on a vest 3 days ago. I am very grateful to the program for the extremely careful preparation from clothes to very small accessories such as wedding flowers, wearing a groom's shirt...".
The collective wedding ceremony within the framework of Vietnam Happy Fest 2025 not only honors the value of Vietnamese families but also sends a message of equality, respect and joining hands to build happiness.
80 couples holding hands under the harmonious sunlight depicted the image of a kind, united and filled with love Vietnam.
