Around 8 a.m., the groom's procession arrived at the bride's house for the traditional ceremony to ask for the bride. Hoai Lam and his wife wore matching red ao dai, symbolizing luck and happiness. After brief rituals, the bride followed the groom to his home. As the two families' homes were only a few hundred meters apart, the journey was quick.

Hoai Lam and his wife took commemorative photos before the stage ceremony. The 22-year-old bride Ngoc Trinh operates an online business.

Around 8:10 a.m., the bride and groom went on stage to cut the wedding cake and share a toast. The ceremony at the groom's house lasted about 20 minutes, streamlined as neither family representatives nor the couple gave speeches. The wedding reception was an intimate gathering with about 200 guests, including friends and close artists such as Hoai Linh and Dam Vinh Hung.

On the evening of 5/10, the singer hosted a dinner with 10 trays of food for relatives, neighbors, and close friends at his private home. According to the design company, Hoai Lam's wedding decorations were simple, not elaborate, with a cost of 50 million VND. The highlight was the wedding arch featuring a pair of artistic foam dragons and phoenixes against a fabric backdrop, combined with the bride and groom's names printed on formex.

Hoai Lam, 31, whose real name is Nguyen Tuan Loc, won the "Guong mat than quen" (Your Face Sounds Familiar) TV show in 2014 at age 19. In 2014 and 2015, Hoai Lam became a sought-after singer both domestically and overseas. From 2017 to 2019, he experienced significant challenges with his mental health and personal life after his first marriage ended. Hoai Lam stopped singing, returned to his hometown for treatment, and lived in seclusion for a long period. Despite limited activity, he still achieved recognition with several songs. Besides singing, he has appeared in films such as "Thien Duong Mau" (2025), "Quy Tu Bat Dac Di" (2015), "Tia Toi La Cao Thu" (2016), and "Yeu Em Bat Chap" (2018).

In 2020, Hoai Lam gained widespread popularity with the hit songs "Hoa No Khong Mau" and "Buon Lam Chi Em Oi" (by Nguyen Minh Cuong). He won the "Song of the Year" category at the Cong Hien Awards and a Lan Song Xanh Award in the same year. In recent years, the singer has primarily performed at tea rooms, rarely participating in major shows.
