Vietnam has entered its ‘wedding season’ and like every year, some people have chosen more eccentric ways of celebrating the big day.

Buffalo rickshaw wedding

Dao Van Duc, 22, and Ho Thi Hoa, 21, were married in Hamlet 9, Nam Anh Commune in Nghe An Province’s Nam Dan District.

A buffalo rickshaw was carefully designed with two seats for the couple.

Their wedding attracted the attention of a large number of people and thousands of comments when a video on the event was spread on internet.

Duc said, “I decided to use such a unique vehicle to pick my wife up, not because I wanted to be famous or lacked money. I just want to do something special on our most memorable day.”

A couple from Hanoi’s Hoai Duc District concluded their wedding with the bride being brought to the groom’s house on a home-made tractor. The wedding was held in early October.

The tractor designed to pick up the bride was carefully decorated with heart-shaped balloons and roses while friends and relatives of the two families were carried on other tractors.

At another wedding in Nghe An Province’s Yen Thanh District, a tractor was also used to pick up the bride.

The wedding was organised on November 17 for Nguyen Viet Van, 27, and Nguyen Thi Phuong, 23, from Hau Thanh Commune’s Phu Tho Hamlet.

A fleet of seven tractors were used to carry friends and relatives of the two families.
