We see one another on daily basis, however my Japanese colleague solely knowledgeable me “I’m getting married subsequent month” with out extending an invitation to the ceremony.
I have no idea about different individuals in different nations, however I skilled a tradition shock in Japan as it’s not customary to ask colleagues to weddings, not like in Vietnam the place even some random connections of a “social butterfly” mom is likely to be invited.
So far as I do know, Japanese weddings, usually internet hosting a couple of dozen to lower than 100 company, are reserved for these closest to the couple, resulting in heat, intimate celebrations centered extra on enjoyment than obligation. Solely very grand weddings have greater than 100 company attended.
In distinction, Vietnamese weddings usually really feel overwhelming, with tons of of company, together with many the bride and the groom hardly ever work together with.
I perceive that every nation has its personal cultural traits, and I respect that. However it is extremely tough for {couples} in Vietnam to take real care of each visitor when there are tons of of individuals attending their wedding ceremony. How can there be sincerity and time to deal with that many individuals?
This method makes me really feel like Vietnamese individuals have “commercialized weddings.”
What are your ideas on this cultural distinction?
