Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world. However, wedding customs vary from country to country.
The Wedding Dress: In many countries, it is customary for the bride to wear a white dress as a symbol of purity. The tradition of wearing a special white dress only for the wedding ceremony started around 150 years ago. Before that, most women could not afford to buy a dress that they would only wear once. Now, bridal dresses can be bought in a variety of styles. In some Asian countries and in the Middle East, colors of joy and happiness like red or orange other than white are worn by the bride or used as part of the wedding ceremony,
The Wedding Rings: In many cultures, couples exchange rings, usually made of golf or silver and worn on the third finger of the left or right hand, during the marriage ceremony. The circular shape of the ring is symbolic of the couple's eternal union. In Brazil, it is traditional to have the rings engraved with the bride's name on the groom’s ring, an vice versa.
Flowers: Flowers play an important role in most weddings. Roses are said to be the flowers of love, and because they usually bloom in June, this has become the most popular month for weddings in many countries. After the wedding ceremony, in many countries the bride throws her bouquet into a crowd of well-wishers – usually her single female friends. The person who catches this bouquet will be the next one to marry.
Gifts: In Chinese cultures, w edding guests give gifts of money to the newly-weds in small red envelopes. Money is also an appropriate gift at Korean and Japanese wedding. In many Western countries, for example in the U.K, wedding guests give the bride and groom household items that they may need for their new home. In Russia, rather than receiving gifts, the bride and groom provide gifts to their guests instead.
With the continued internationalization of the modern world, wedding customs that originated in one part of the world are crossing national boundaries and have been incorporated into marriage ceremonies in other countries.

Acknowledged by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1994, Ha Long Bay is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature by global poll.

Some of them possess distinctive shapes like Trong Mai islet, Oan islet, or Ga Choi islet. These became the main attractions when sailing around the bay. Some famous islands like Co To, Tuan Chau, Ti Top, and Quan Lan have breathtaking views of emerald water and unspoiled sand which have become the best destinations for most foreign and domestic visitors.
In addition to more than 1,600 islands and islets, there are many splendid caves and grottos scattered around the bay such as Thien Cung, Dau Go, Luon, Sung Sot caves and more.Those have become well-known all over the world for their spectacular beauty and outstanding geological value.
Visitors coming to Ha Long Bay can also have a variety of cruise itineraries to choose from.They vary from visiting grottos and caves to going to some fishing villages like Cua Van to experience the life of local fishermen on floating houses and enjoy fresh seafood prepared right on the ship.
