Marriage brokers recruit young Vietnamese women to come to Ho Chi Minh City where they are viewed by groups of Taiwanese men. Each of the men pays a fee to pick a suitable bride from the line-up. Within days of meeting, the couples will be married. In "Double Happiness", Chien-Chi Chang offers a series of scenarios following the process of arranged marriage in south-east Asia: from selection and application to all the paperwork and the final ceremony.
