Vietnamese traditional and modern weddings

Maria:Hi Kevin!What are you reading
Kevin : Hello Maria! I’m reading a book about Vietnamese Wedding
Maria: I see. Do you need the information for a school assignment?
Kevin: Yes. I`m preparing for my presentation about the similarities and differences between a traditional Vietnamese wedding and a modern one.
Maria: That`s interesting! So what are the similarities?
Kevin: Both weddings include the proposal ceremony, the engagement ceremony and the wedding ceremony.
Maria: And the differences?
Kevin: The ceremonies are less complicated in modern weddings.
Maria: Sounds better. I guess the bride and groom will be much happier if they don`t have to waste money on unnecessary things.
Kevin: Well, in fact, wedding expenses these days are much greater than in the past.
Maria: Why`s that? What`s the biggest cost?
Kevin: The reception is the most expensive especially if it is held in a big hotel.
Maria: I guess the couples get support from their families.
Kevin: Yes, of course. Some parents cover most expenses of the wedding. The bride and groom also get money as presents from the guests.
Maria: Sounds good. They`re surely the happiest people on their wedding day no matter what the costs are!
Kevin: That`s true.
Maria: Well, I have to go now. Good luck with your presentation!
Kevin: Goodbye!
