I might not be exactly correct but to give our Lao children and others an understanding of Laotion people... Some of these tradition might co-side with others ethnicity group

Engagement/Marriage
The boy family come to see the girl familly and ask for her hand... The girl family then ask for something in return or as a bargin... They may ask for money, gold, livestock etc.. Depending.... Then on the wedding day that's when the everything is presented... Some parent choose to give the things that's ask for to the newly wed or keep it themself....

To be continue.....

Divorce
In the Laotion/Asian divorce are not very common....The Laotian family will likely talk the situation out before divorce even come up....

The grooms has to give the bride's family Dowry for whatever amount they ask for. At first, I felt it was as if the bride's parents were selling her off, but it's more of a form of respect. The money is to pay the parents for raising his future wife and it's a way to show the bride's parents that he is able to earn money, thus proving that he will be able to support his future family with their daughter.

Getting ordain when your 20 or above you become a monk and if your under 20 you become Ai Dwah, I think many laos parents living outside of laos still have this by sending there son back to laos to get ordain, all my cousins done it and im hitting 20 in 06 so I'll be getting ordain =)

Eatting....
In our tradition. The elder will likely to be the first to eat then followed by the younger. I don't mean eat after them just, they just have the first bit before the younger could dig into the food.... We could never eat or dig our hand in before the elder....
