My Korean co-teacher Christy got married! Something very exciting since it's a time of celebration and pure, white joy!
Prior to the wedding I was full of questions about it. Trying to compare a Western wedding to a Korean is like comparing a crotch rocket to a moped. Western weddings being the moped. The most surprising thing about Korean weddings are how quick they are.
It was literally, in and out.
Here's a break down of how it went:
Arrival, take some photos and talk to the Bride and Groom.
The wedding.
More posing and photos.
Huge buffet.
2 hours later, finished.
That's it. Cut and print.
Having been in attendance to a number of wedding back in the states, I was kind of expecting the elaborateness. But I got ahead of myself and was surprised and impressed by the promptness. The only thing that I disliked, was that they were clearing the chairs while the ceremony was still going on. But, can't hold that against an amazing day for an amazing event.
It literally was the perfect day/setting for a wedding. Set amongst and within the grand Mt. Muedung - what more can you ask for?
Seriously though, could you ask for a better backdrop than this?
A beach maybe, but then you have to worry about seagulls. And seagulls poop on you, and who wants that at a wedding?
If you ever get a chance to check out a wedding here in Korea, do so. You'll enjoy it. It's a magical time AND free booze! How can you go wrong?
