The couple's wedding ceremony embraced the distinct style of the Mekong Delta. The groom's family incorporated characteristic elements of river life into the celebration, from the wedding feast featuring local dishes to the bridal procession by boat on the canal in front of their home.

The reception tables were set amidst a coconut garden, surrounded by a small canal. "My life is tied to the Mekong Delta's waterways, so I wanted our happy day to be intimate and simple," Doan Minh Tai said.

Guests, including singers Tung Anh, Hoang Ai My, and Huynh That, entertained with musical performances.

Earlier that morning, the groom, dressed in an ao dai, led a procession carrying eight trays of betrothal gifts to the bride's home in TP HCM.

The betrothal gift trays were arranged with dragon and phoenix motifs using fruits and betel leaves, symbolizing prosperity, happiness, and wealth.
