After the ceremony, they received a certificate of marriage and wedding gifts from the organising board.
The couples, who are poor workers in industrial and processing zones in HCM City, were given a complimentary table worth VND5 million, VND2 million ATM card, wedding rings, floral arrangements, cars, make-up service, photoshoot, video recording, and wedding outfits. They were also offered two training courses aimed at improving family skills.
