During the church wedding ceremony, the Pakistani groom opened his wallet and pulled out a wad of cash to give to his Vietnamese bride. However, his wife's subsequent actions made the groom and guests burst into laughter.
The husband gave her a stack of money, but she only took one bill.
After her marriage broke down, Tran Thuy Trang (38 years old, from Lao Cai province) decided to take her son to live in Japan.
Ms. Trang said that being away from her family as a single mother presented many challenges. However, she accepted the challenge, giving her child the opportunity to live a full and close life with her paternal grandparents.
Vietnamese wife marries Pakistani husband after one month of dating.
Although her first husband was Japanese, Trang's Japanese language skills were not good, only at a basic conversational level. Upon moving to Japan, she had to work while simultaneously improving her language skills.
Initially, she would take her child to kindergarten before going to work. On days when the child was off school, she would let her accompany her to work.
Once her life abroad stabilized, Trang decided to open up and look for a boyfriend through a dating app. By chance, she befriended and started chatting with a Pakistani man named Tallal Ahmed (37 years old) who was working in Japan.
"At first, we talked and asked each other questions very normally. However, he was exactly my type and vice versa, I was also his type. So, after a week of chatting online, we had our first date," Trang recounted.
On their first date, Trang brought her son to meet Tallal. Knowing that his girlfriend had a child from a previous relationship, he didn't change his attitude; he happily chatted with the boy and showed him great interest.
Although he has never been married, Tallal knows how to love and care for Trang's son very well.
The kindness of the Pakistani man reassured the single mother , who agreed to live with him after only one month of dating.
Trang and Tallal are both getting on in years and living far from their homeland. Therefore, they didn't return to Vietnam or Pakistan for a wedding ceremony. Instead, they held a simplewedding at a mosque in Tokyo, Japan.
Tallal celebrated Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) in Vietnam for the first time.
“At the end of the wedding ceremony at the church, Tallal opened his wallet, and inside was a thick wad of cash. He told me to take it, but I only took out one 1 Man note (about 1.6 million VND).”
When I pulled out a banknote, my husband and the guests all smiled. I found it strange, so I waited until the ceremony was over to ask my husband.
Tallal said it was a gift from him, like a ritual part of the ceremony. I could take as much as I wanted, even take it all, it wouldn't matter.
"Therefore, my taking out a banknote surprised him and everyone else. To this day, my husband and I still keep that banknote as a memento," Trang recounted.
Surprised by her husband's family background.
After living together for four years, Trang and her husband took their one-year-old daughter to visit her husband's family. It was her first time in Pakistan, and she was very nervous and worried that her husband's family wouldn't like her.
Despite being married for a long time, Trang and her husband haven't had the chance to introduce themselves to her husband's parents. Besides their busy business schedules, they also have many disagreements and worries that they can't stay together in the long run.
At her wedding in Pakistan, Trang received many expensive pieces of jewelry as gifts from her husband's family.
It wasn't until their daughter was born that their marital relationship deepened. Trang and her husband found common ground, set aside their egos, and nurtured their family. That was the opportune moment for them to introduce each other to their relatives.
Ms. Trang recalled: “The first time I went to my husband's home, I was amazed by the dazzling scenery before my eyes. His family lived in a villa spanning thousands of square meters. In particular, the villa was where many generations lived together. My husband's family members welcomed me very warmly and friendly.”
The couple's lavish wedding in Pakistan.
Although the couple had already held their wedding ceremony in Japan, the husband's family was secretly preparing a wedding for them in Pakistan.
The wedding lasted three days and was attended by thousands of guests. It was the most extravagant wedding Trang had ever witnessed.
Trang and her husband's small family doesn't differentiate between their own children and their stepchildren.
Ms. Trang recounted that during her three-day wedding, she wore three different dresses and three different sets of gold jewelry.
Every day, the wedding party features fireworks displays and lively dancing that fills the entire area.
Returning to Japan after their lavish wedding, Trang and her husband plunged back into work, just like any other family.
She always told herself that her husband's family was wealthy, but she and her husband weren't. Now, she's content that they have a home, stable jobs, and well-behaved children.
Over their 10 years of marriage, Trang and her Pakistani husband have experienced many ups and downs, both joy and sorrow. She even filed for divorce several times after disagreements that couldn't be resolved.
Trang's husband and children love Vietnam very much.
Luckily, the two of them still loved each other and agreed to sit down and fix the things they hadn't done well.
Currently, Trang and her husband have sent their youngest daughter back to Vietnam to study, while their eldest son continues to live in Japan. They don't mind the hardship of traveling back and forth between Vietnam and Japan to care for their children.
During their free time, Trang's family travels together, visiting relatives and strengthening family bonds.
