The move aims to support low-incomes couples and those who suffer from labour accidents, unemployment and serious diseases and disabilities in celebrating their special life event.
Each couple was also presented with a pair of wedding rings, wedding dress and suit, a wedding photo album, and celebrative services, together with free health care voucher with a year of validity.
A couple facing extreme difficult living conditions was also gifted with an apartment worth VND20 million.
At the same time, they were also offered free training courses on skills to build a happy family.
On the occasion, the couples paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh at his statue in District 1, while joining a bicycle parade through major city streets.
So far, more than 500 couples have benefited from the mass wedding programme which was launched in 2006.
