This custom is a wedding custom in Vietnam.
Do you know: A night prior to the wedding, the bride’s mother will make her hair neat with many combs, each serving a different purpose.
In Vietnamese weddings, the groom’s mother is meant to carry pink chalk and betel nuts to the bride’s home. Both these items carry a special significance. The chalk is meant to symbolize a happy future for the bride and the groom, while the betel nuts are a sign of respect towards the bride and her family. After this ritual is complete, the groom and his family reach the bride’s house.
