Asking about marriage

In Vietnam, marriage is not too private to ask, however, people would rather choose indirect questions.

One of the most typical is "When will you give us candies?" or "When will you invite me to your banquet?" (Khi nào cho mọi người ăn kẹo đây?, khi nào mời tôi ăn cỗ đây?). It's because in the past, guests invited to wedding were usually treated with biscuits and candies and big feast so this question metaphorically means "When will you get married?"

In my Chinese lessons, the Chinese ask: "什么时候给大家喝喜酒呢？“ （When will you let everyone drink your wedding liquor?)

And recently. in my Korean lesson, I learnt that the Koreans ask the same way, but they mention "noodle" instead of candies or liquor (언제 국수를 먹여 줄 거예요?)

I started to learn Japanese few days ago and look forward to knowing this in Japanese.
