Giang and her husband, Tran Ngoc Chung (born 1992, Hanoi), held their wedding on December 13–14, 2025.

Giang admitted she has a relatively small circle of close friends. One day, while scrolling TikTok, she got the idea to invite people from the online community to “come enjoy the feast.”

She followed through immediately. Once she received her wedding photos, she posted her favorite one to TikTok with a caption: “Hey everyone! I’m getting married on December 13 but don’t have many friends. I’m in Chuong My, Hanoi. Want to come to the wedding? I’m inviting you!”

“I was being completely sincere,” she said. “I truly wanted people to come celebrate this important day with me.”

To her astonishment, the post reached 5 million views, over 100,000 likes, and more than 11,000 comments.

Thousands of users left well-wishes in the comments, and many sent direct messages to accept the invitation.

Giang shared the idea with her parents, who were not only supportive but also excited to help prepare the feast for their “internet guests.”

“I created a group chat with everyone who messaged me, so I could personally invite them again,” she said.

Before the big day, Giang met the group once in person to break the ice. “Then I got busy with wedding preparations, but they continued meeting a few more times on their own to plan for the day,” she laughed.

The group came from various districts in Hanoi  -  Soc Son, Gia Lam, Dong Anh, Thuong Tin, and Thach That  -  and even from farther provinces like Thai Binh (now part of Hung Yen) and Hoa Binh (now Phu Tho).

Among them was a professional wedding MC and a DJ, who both offered their services, saving Giang from hiring an emcee.

The bride’s house hosted the wedding on December 13. The 60 guests  -  now affectionately known as “internet friends”  -  arrived early to help with the preparations. Because they had already met, the group felt like old friends rather than strangers.

Giang’s family prepared thoroughly to ensure every guest felt welcome. The group filled 10 entire tables at the reception. After the meal, they turned up the celebration with singing and dancing that made the wedding truly unforgettable.

“The wedding was so fun, I’m still buzzing from it,” Giang said. “They even brought gifts like bowls, brooms, dustpans, and trays  -  we all laughed so hard!”

After the celebration, the group has stayed in touch and continues chatting in their group chat. They’ve even gone out together for meals and coffee.

Giang said she’s delighted to have gained new friends who are fun, genuine, and easy to connect with.

Her story quickly spread on social media forums, attracting countless heartwarming and amused reactions:

“I saw the video of the bride inviting guests online and thought it was cute  -  didn’t expect people to actually show up, let alone fill 10 tables!”

“I was there!” one guest commented. “People kept asking, ‘Which table is the TikTok one?’ and it was hilarious!”
