HCM CITY — Fifty couples with disabilities from HCM City were married in a group wedding at Giác Ngộ Pagoda in HCM City’s District 10 on Friday.
Most of them have impaired mobility, or are visually or hearing impaired.
Each couple was presented a wedding package worth VNĐ20 million (US$860), including a wedding table of vegetarian food, two wedding rings, two áo dài (Vietnamese traditional dress), flowers, make-up, hairdressing, a wedding photo album, a tea set, a Buddhist book, and a Buddha statue, among other services.
In addition, the couples were also provided a ride by cyclos from Hòa Bình (Peace) Park in District 10 to Bến Thành Market in District 1.
