Korean Wedding

My co teacher got married and invited us to her wedding. Unlike the last wedding I went to in Korea this one was much more typical for most Koreans. The bride and groom dressed in typical white dress and tuxedo combinations and exchanged vows in a wedding hall. Still the wedding was short and we then went into a big buffet area that was shared with numerous other wedding parties that were happening throughout the day

Prior to the start of the wedding pictures of the bride and groom were displayed on the giant screen in front of the room. Once the wedding started the pictures changed to various locations around the world.

Once the wedding was over the bride and groom changed into traditional hanbok to join the guests for lunch.

Traditional Korean Wedding

I attended my first traditional Korean wedding here in Korea. Two of my friends, Matt and Jiyeon got married at a wedding hall in Seoul. The wedding is different than that of western weddings. The bride and groom are carried out by men. The groom is on a chair and the bride is in a decorated box.
