THE Ho Chi Minh City Youth Workers Support Centre organised a mass wedding ceremony for 82 couples on Vietnamese Women’s Day to help less well-off workers have a proper ceremony.

The low-income couples, who work in the city and neighbouring localities, face difficulties and are unable to afford their own weddings, according to the HCM City Youth Workers Support Centre under the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU).

They are disadvantaged and disabled workers, teachers, military officers, and labourers in industrial parks, export processing zones, schools and various organisations.

The couples received a wedding package, including wedding clothes, an áo dài (traditional dress), wedding rings and flowers, health care vouchers, make-up, photography services and other gifts. — Vietnam News/ANN
