"with the same husband" 😀

german boyfriend waving from the bushes killed me

I can’t wait for you to start calling him “German husband”

German bf is a disney princess in an adult guy's body. Look at him picking flowers and hiding behind the bush so adorable 😂❤

German boyfriend saying ‘I don’t want anyone wearing a green suit but me 😢’ is sooooo adorable and totally understandable!! He should get to have his big day of standing out too 🥰🥰🥰

When I got married in Thailand, I proposed to her on a wednesday. We tiold her mom and she immediaely told us we had to go to a monk and find an auspicious date. We did the same day, and he told us: In two days. 48 hours later we were married in a wedding with hundreds of people. We have been happily married for 17 years now. Wish you the best!

Your hubby is a funny guy. "In Germany we also have fortune tellers. They are in the Amt, and if you don't take the appointment, there will be no wedding." Love it!

I love how German Boyfriend participates, but at his comfort level. You both are a great team.

"You can't ever leave me, not even spiritually!" -Uyen in love 😈

Uyen-My friend in Thailand married an American. The Thai wedding became a comedy. The Bhuddist priests gave the bride the day using bride n groom’s birthdates. All the guests arrived from all over the world to Thailand. All of a sudden the Priests realized that when they set the date, they used the groom’s date as if he was born in Thailand NOT the US which of course was a day earlier than Thai time! They redid it and said they had to wait 3 weeks. With guests from all over, that couldn’t happen so the Priests found a lucky number day so the wedding was only delayed 2 days! So be sure when you give the fortune teller his day of birth give them the day it would be in Vietnam!

So the best thing to do is get married in Vietnam first so you have the money to pay for the German wedding! Haha!! 😃 I'm so excited for you both!!! Much love to you from me in Australia.

"So life is worth living again".. lol, thats exactly what I feel when spring starts in Norway.

Describing the best man as the contact guy for the catering is the most german thing I have ever heard 😂😂

My wife and I cycled around Vietnam and never got sick of being invited to many roadside weddings. We often had to sing or drink lots of crazy shots with the locals!

American here - it's very common to leave for the honeymoon right after the wedding. For ours, we left the wedding reception and drove 2 hours to our hotel then the next morning drove another 4 hours to the beach. Most people I know leave the wedding and go stay at a nice hotel before continuing on to their honeymoon.

"Fortune tellers & Thousands of guests"!! Like a Gilmore Girls episode title!!

Being a south asian I can understand the enthusiasm of family for wedding... For Asian wedding is a celebration once in a lifetime so they try to make it as grand and memorable as possible 😁

Awwwww ❤ "I like dancing and limousines too". I want Uyen to have the very best bestest wedding & hope she gets to do all the traditions that she wants!

For avoiding the issue of guests expecting you to drink too much, you can do what we did in my bar when patrons pressured us to drink with them: have non-alcoholic beer and cocktails ready. We had code names: "Super strong beer" and "Tipsy Loo"

the bachelorette party trying to sell german bf things was hilarious!

We also have wedding gifts for guests in Vietnam, usually it is a small bag included Vietnames tea, lotus seed with sugar (hạt sen ngào đường), and a traditonal cake (bánh phu thê). In other parts of Vietnam, people also have bag on dinning table for guest to take leftover food for their family at home.

A more traditional thing than bachelor or bachelorette party, would be a Polterabend, this party is celebrated by the couple together, the guest bring old plates, cups, mugs or similar stuff, and during the evening they smash it, an the bridal couple sweep up the fragments for good luck, and it should them prepaire to always work together as married people.

Uyen, you look so glowing here! ✨

This is such a cute video. As an Indian and Asian, I can relate to some of those Vietenamise traditions. It's always fun to know the similarities in different cultures and country. Keep up the good work and happy wedding planning. P.S : - your nails are so freaking pretty :))

Could totally relate to the statement, "The sun is out and life is worth living again!" 😂 Cheers from another Southeast Asian living on the other side of Germany 🙌🏼

In the USA 300 or more guests is considered a big wedding. Under 100 is a small wedding, and 100-250 is a medium sized. Over 1000 is crazy big lol!!!

This made me soooo happy, Uyen! I definitely understand. I'm Nigerian-Egyltian and there are definitely some traditions that are trying to be imposed for my wedding. I'm really thinking of just eloping haha. Much love to you guys and you both are so very dear to me. All the best to you two and you both are such a blessing and a gift. Love you guys!

As a Norwegian going to a Vietnamese wedding in Vietnam next week, this video is a life saver!!! Thank you so much!

You forgot something very very traditional.. It's called "Polterabend". In many areas it's often a very big event you actually can invite the whole town to, or at least many people. Usually there is drinks and maybe some small bbq, nothing fancy, nothing too expensive. It's usually outside and people bring old porcelain, like old plates and.. Smash them.. In the floor. It's supposed to be lucky. The couple has to clean it up then with a broom. Sometimes it's A LOT. This is being done sometime before the wedding.

My husband (Vietnamese) and I (American) had a simultaneously very traditional and very non-traditional wedding, from both Vietnamese and American standards. We got married in a mass at our Catholic church (my husband became Catholic before the wedding), and we had our reception at a local restaurant with an outdoor garden. We had a small wedding in terms of guests with just close family and a few friends. Neither of us wanted to even have a bridesmaids or groomsmen, but our church told us we had to at least have a best man and maid of honor to act as the official witnesses to the wedding and sign our legal marriage license as witnesses. So we each chose our closest friends for those roles. Then for the reception itself, we didn't have any dancing or music besides the music from the restaurant. But the food and drinks were amazing, and everyone had a fund time just hanging out and talking. We also set up some board games for people to play at tables. We also had cookies instead of cake since neither of us wanted cake, haha. The best part of the reception was that we had a Fujifilm instant camera for guests to take pictures, so we ended up with a lot of very fun candid photos to remember the evening. We only had a few flower arrangements in the church, and I made some small decorations myself for the reception. There are a lot more details I could share, but ultimately my point is to share that weddings can come in all shapes and sizes. Just do what you want!

Good to know it's the same groom. I thought maybe German fiancé will be one husband and German boyfriend the other 😂

I organised my sister’s bachelorette party, and her and her besties wanted to do something chill, relaxing and fun, because they work a lot, and most of them have children. sooooo we went out for brunch, did a pottery class, made home made cocktails, and did some fun skincare while watching a movie from our childhood. Everyone loved it 🥰

Honeymoons are really popular in the US. You don’t always go right afterwards. It’s nice to have a romantic vacation after the wedding planning because it is so much work.

Honestly, the idea of making a photoshoot in advance is brilliant. That way the "fancy" pics can be redone if they turn out shitty and the couple can focus on enjoying the wedding, and the photographer can focus on the spontaneous pics of everyone. 10/10 would consider.

Uyen I’m really happy for you and German bf you guys are really cute and funny love from Türkiye 🇹🇷❤️🇻🇳🇩🇪

I love yall videos so much. Im a mixed race American who’s learning languages, one of them is Vietnamese. Your videos make me so happy! Often about the genuine pleasures in life

I think this is why most couples have "wedding party colors" It helps guests choose clothing to avoid being confused as part of the wedding party

Honeymoon is VERY real! We left from our wedding and went straight to the airport to spend two weeks in Orlando.

”life’s worth living again” 🤣😂

I love that you are filming outside

“As you can see we are outside in nature as summer is coming and life is worth living again!” As a Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 - I definitely can relate to that remark!!!

In indian hindu wedding too we have like 1000 guest ..some of them bride and groom meet at wedding for first time There are 3+ days functions for wedding And wedding guest dress the best ..like the bride has to step it up ..no body can outshine the bride Depend on region people do a sort of bridal shower ... Where they pamper the bride with her favourite food 😊 Normally gift is money and close family give gold or silver One tradition or atleast in my region of india has ..is to put a lemon on the bride ( normally in the bra) to ward off evil spirits 😅

My family's tradition is for the couple to leave the wedding and go to a nice hotel for the night, then start the honeymoon the following week. We packed our overnight bags in our car the day before, and my maid of honor collected the wedding gifts and took them to our apartment for us. I can't imagine having to immediately get on a plane or start a long car ride to the honeymoon, we were so tired.

Who all are extremely happy and excited for them getting married 🤩❤

Omg Uyen, I love watching about you and german boyfriends adventures. Thank you for all your amazing videos! ❤️

I think the idea of going to the honeymoon right away is that then you can have some stress-free time with your new spouse and enjoy life. Though here in northern Europe it's more typical to leave to the honeymoon next day or two days after and first spend wedding night in hotel or some other nice location at peace.

i love the sound of a vietnamese wedding. i love all the cultures who involved the entire family and community and really celebrate.

Here in Australia, they have the wedding ceremony say around 11am, then the couple go away to take photos and then the reservation/party starts around 5pm. Guests can go home or find something to do in between. Can't really do photos before the day, because the groom isn't supposed to see the dress before the wedding. If you don't care about that, then I actually think it's a great idea to do them before.

I love the idea of having the whole day dedicated to taking the wedding pictures. That sounds like it would be relatively stress free. Plus you would not keep the guests waiting. I had to wait 3 hours in sweltering humid weather between the ceremony and reception. My boyfriend and i were so miserable that we promised that if we ever desided to marry, we'd atlest have a buffet and some sort of entertainment going. And air conditioning if it is the summer.

It’s really nice to see your two cultures meshing into one another. I’m in the same boat, my fiancé is not familiar let alone someone of my race and culture. We want a wedding that reflects the both of our worlds becoming one. I’m hoping my parents can accept this, they have little regard to what we want. I’ve been crying a lot over the stress. But, my fiancé has been supportive and understanding, and that helps a lot.

actually the bachelor(ette) parties also came to germany from elsewhere (probably the states, let's be honest). my parents' generation still had a "polterabend" where you invite a bunch of people to your house the day before the wedding and smash porcelain bc "shards bring luck"

Trauzeuge are the people that are there in church and / or with your at the state kind of marriage. They actively sign that they legally witnessed your marriage. So the correct translation would be "witnesses".

I’m Navajo married to a German. We both agree and did our pictures before our engagement party but… NOT our weeding, like goobers. We should’ve done it like our engagement party cuz it took almost 2 hours for pics. At least everyone went to the reception and started eating snacks or they’d have left, lol. So smart Uyen!

This is so awesome, thank you for sharing ❤️ 😊 i love hearing the differences and how yall are working on incorporating traditions

Omg a topic i can sympathize with. Me and my husband are both Vietnamese living in the US and even us had culture shock and arguments cause our preference were more Western lol it’s true our wedding is more for our parents too, but seeing how hard they worked for it, im glad i agreed to go with a big wedding cause they were so happy lol i’ll share some personal tips chi as our style and preferences dont really fit the standard there so make sure you vet your vendor carefully. They love to get overseas customers but some dont have good customer service. I had problems with my dress and it stressed me out. Make sure you get what you want and prepare to walk away! We also had our wedding photoshoot outdoor and my friends said that’s a very western thing to do cause it’s expensive and people prefer studio photoshoot BUT i love my photos where i went to a sandune, a hill, the ocean and they were beautiful. My photographer specialize on outdoor photography and i think German finance would really like if you guys have time and can splurge a bit. Vietnam outdoor sceneries are super pretty We fought during the wedding. Cause it was so stressful but we made it and i know you guys will make it through. So happy and excited for you!

I'm german, I've been to a few weddings in my life so far and I never heard of a "wedding newspaper"😅 but it sounds really cute!

In Canada at least, the other purpose for the maid of honour and best man is to also sign the marriage license as witnesses, along with the bride and groom's signatures. Idk if that might be the same in Germany? They also commonly play a big part in planning the bachelor/bachelorette party. We have a unique tradition in my province called a social, which is basically a big party to fundraise for the wedding. There's entry tickets, a raffle, drinks cost $2. But the food is free, usually chips on every table and then what we call "social food" - basically bread, cheese, deli meats, pickles etc. Maybe even some perogies with cheese and potato. Ive been to a couple where they had pizza, but then you cant meat shoulder someone (put a piece of deli meat on their shoulder to see how long until they notice lol). Congrats to you both!

We got gifted a herbal salt for one wedding. I enjoyed cooking with it for a year and remembered that day. On another wedding wie got a Lebkuchenherz (gingerbread hearts) with our names on it. I loved it. So guest presents are nice

Uyen,in USA the couple and parents on both sides do guest list. 500 were invited to wedding. Many as bride I did not know many of my parents and husbands parents. We had 435 guests were actually at the wedding.

Ending for bug bites is the most relatable thing! Loved the video, you guys will figure out how you want your special days ❤

This was so fun to learn about! And you two are the cutest couple on earth. So happy for you!

i just love how interesting and calm your vids are❤

In the USA traditionally the bride's family pays for everything (except the rehearsal dinner, groom's family takes care of that). Also the honeymoon is totally a thing and yes you leave right after the wedding party is over (and yes it is very stressful to pack for a vacation and prepare for your wedding at the same time, but it is nice to spend the first few days as a married couple having fun on vacation).

i love how vietnamese weddings are like “profit” that truly celebrates the couple

My cousin married a German woman in Germany and their wedding was in a small enclosed room in the middle of a park. It was cute but very, very small.

Ahh, So singing drunk uncles are universal :)

Love you guys! Have yourselves some Happy Weddings!!!! ❤❤

Oh, cant wait for the big wedding video ❤

So excited for you both!

I cannot express to you how happy I am for the both of you! Your guys relationship is so wholesome and cute it makes me go all goey. I love how funny and informative your videos are, and how care free it is. I'm one of your younger audiences (teenager lol) and I look up to you both a LOT. I love your journey as a mix couple and the facts you learn along the way. Your videos always brings a smile to my face during tough times and I'll forever be grateful for that. So thank you guys ❤️

In Eastern Germany there’s a tradition where the guests make a sort of mini obstacle course for the bride and groom when leaving the church or courthouse- at bare minimum, they have to cut a hole in a sheet and step through it and saw a log in half, but sometimes they have to do a bunch more stuff like solve puzzles together. At least, I assume it’s only an East Germany thing, I’ve never heard of it anywhere else.

VERY informative!! Love you guysss

Thank you for sharing the journey with us ❤.

You guys are adorable! It's always warming my heart when I watch your videos

Man I can't wait to see all your wedding photos 😍🤩

I love the idea of a wedding newspaper!! How sweet 😍

you could knit/crochet something small for each guest

That was so much fun! More comparison videos please - around holidays or other traditions, maybe?

I adore you both and this is the most wholesome video I've seen in a long time ❤ I'm engaged so love hearing about your wedding stuff. Much love ❤❤❤

As a german-american (was raised by my immigrant Oma) I had no clue Germany had wedding newspaper. That is very VERY cute!!! Im divorced now but my wedding favors were little cookies in the shape of my state with a little heart over the city I got married. Also I went to my honeymoon a week after my wedding

I just love your channel. Congratulations!

In India we have similar weddings to the Vietnamese ones but also some aspects of German Wedding, like we gift anything, we have weddings in the night like from 7-8 pm to 12 or 1 or maybe even 4 in the morning. We also have astrologists who are similar to fortune tellers who decide the date. We also have the activities and rituals and our weddings usually last from 3 to 6 days Some rich people also have weddings for 8 days!

Your wedding plans are making me excited!! To share some ideas, in my recent Indo-French wedding in France, we gifted a pair of little jars of mustard (from the french side) and spice-mix (from the indian side) to thank the guests. Also, all the tables were named after spices because we love cooking! 🤭

Filipino weddings also have small gifts for the guests. We call it wedding souvenirs. For example: a small stuff toy holding a card with the name of the bride and groom, the wedding date, and something like "thank you for celebrating our wedding".

This is great! Thank you for sharing your journey!

I like the 'talent show' part in Vietnamese weddings 😅😂. It reminds me of the time back in my home country when kids are asked to narrate a poem, sing or dance at the reception. It's kind of sweet.

I can’t wait for your weddings!

Thank you both for sharing

The wedding newsletter is a sweet tradition! 🥰

so exciting ... waiting for the wedding videos

"Life is worth living again" 😆 As far as leaving immediately for the honeymoon, Americans _do_ sometimes do that, but I always felt like you do about it. My wedding was quite short, and I made us a reservation at a nice hotel for that night. We stopped at our favorite sushi place after the wedding (while in our suit and gown still! lol), then had a nice time at the hotel. A week later, we went to a different state for the weekend to see different museums and parks for our honeymoon. It was really nice, and the whole wedding was barely over $1000, including the nice hotel and the honeymoon weekend.

This was so interesting - thanks!

In Hanoi, there are also countryside people living in Hanoi, who bring countryside mindset and put their own wedding tent in the middle of the public street!

In Germany you often need to book popular venues 2 or 3 years in advance ^^

Congrats on 2 million !!

I paid for my brother and sister in law's wedding cake for their wedding. It was a bit pricey, but i didn't mind since i love my brother and my sister in law is the best! Plus, i loved the expressions on their faces when i surprised them with the cake. They didn't know how it would look like. The cake was delicious and soon all gone. I think i did a good job in picking a wedding cake for them.🙂

I'm learning so much about your culture. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Congratulations!!!!! I wish you guys a prosperous marriage!!!

This sounds so fun - wedding planning for two countries! 🥰🤩🥳

Woaahhhh Vietnamese wedding is really similar like Indonesian wedding too. So happy for both of you, sending love from Indonesia ❤❤❤
