HAPPY GARDENING!

In Vietnam they are such important symbols of love and marriage that in Vietnamese the phrase "matters of betel and areca" is synonymous with marriage. Areca nut chewing starts the talk between the groom's parents and the bride's parents about the young couple's marriage. The combination of areca nut and the betel leaf is ideal to the point that they are practically inseparable, like an idealized married couple.
