Wedding "Ceremony"

After entering the bride's house, the groom's family (R in top pic) formally present offerings/gifts to bride and her family (L in top pic).
The groom then formally ask the bride's family's permission to marry him.
Both families then ascend to the bride's ancestral worship alter to "privately" present offerings to the bride's ancestors and request the ancestors' permission to marry. After formally requesting bride's ancestors permission to marry, the couple are formally considered married.
This was followed by a "light" feast of delicious food and formal picture taking. Bottom pic are the bride's maids
(Linh is 2nd from R). I believe that Linh was the maid of honor.
