Laos has wedding traditions that are totally unique, but mostly they have been taken directly from their culture. Most couples get married at a house, very seldom they go to a restaurant or church. Men are usually over 18 years old and women are over 15 years old. Marriages are arranged by the groom’s parents; and the groom’s parents have to give a money fee for a girl, about 5 thousand dollars. But after that, the bride’s parents will give the gift or present for the bride such as gold, money for a girl. Mostly the bride and groom dress like their culture. Both the bride and groom will either wear wedding bands or won’t; it doesn’t matter. They never take a honeymoon. After the wedding the bride has to stay with the groom’s family and take the husband’s family name.
