Traditional village, contemporary wedding

It can be argued that the traditional wedding protocol of Lo Lo village does not exist anymore.

An 18 year old bride in a very sophisticated traditional wedding dress may look like she is from a small village but she behaves like any contemporary urban girl during her wedding party.

On a chilly day late last year, a couple in Lo Lo had a small wedding party in order to introduce relatives to the bride, whom the groom had already been living with for one month.

Bride Lu Thi Panh, 18, left school in the 8th grade to help her family. Groom Sin Gi Tai, 19, also left school after both his parents passed away.


With his parents gone, the groom had to prepare for the wedding himself
