I don't know the average age on PH, but when your children grows up and wants to wed, will you be doing a traditional Hmong wedding for them?
Hell no. Because even I didn't have a traditional wedding and the last thing I'd want my kids to do is follow in the footsteps of a failed people. |

The idea behind a "traditional" Hmong wedding is amazingly important. The thing about the "modern day" Hmong wedding is that it's been altered big time from the "traditional" Hmong wedding and the important idea behind it is no longer important. The "modern day" Hmong wedding is all about greed and grudges against one another's clan. There's way too much " your clan did this to our clan and now we want your clan to fix this and pay for this and that" kind of things. It's full of anger and argument. A wedding should be a time to celebrate the joining of two lives and it should be a happy joyous time. I still strongly believe in this and I will make sure that my children have this happiness when they start their new lives together with their significant other.  Whether it be a "traditional" Hmong wedding or a modernized Hmong-American wedding. |

I will not let my kids suffer the same fate as I, but on a different note, if my son marries someone whose family still wants to, then my hands are tied. I will not do that for my daughters though.

One thing you guys should keep in mind, is that a church (as I call it) wedding usually a lot more expensive than a Hmong wedding.
Consider the price of a bride's head. Would the husband's family pay for that, in addition to having a church wedding? One side is totally screwed in that scenario. Or would the bride's family help pitch in to cover a portion of that cost?

Heck no!
Fake bows with fake thumb prints to the ground are dumb and meaningless.
If a groom wants to take my future daughters they gotta do something sincere, not something they "had to" do.

Yes, I will most definately have a Hmong wedding. The American wedding comes second if the fund is eligible for it.

Hmong should learn how to incorporate the American Wedding with the Hmong Wedding like Vietnamese. Some strict customs such as bartering of the bride with all these witnesses and mekong should be done away with as to simplify the wedding and to celerbate unity of a couple versus bring old problems up again.
