Amy Park. there are so many traditional wedding in the world. korean traditional wedding is very polite and formal.
From now on, i'm going to introduce korean traditional wedding and how it has been changed today. how does this picture look like? this is the part of korean traditional wedding.
Before they get married, they send theirs day of birth to each other and compare the horoscopes of them if they have a mutually luck for them.
And than they confirm the date of wedding, because the koreans think that wedding is very divine. on the wedding day in bride's house, the groom wearing like a noble.( public service officer of old times) and the bride puts on princesses's dress. she draws red circle on her cheek and forehead. it called 연지곤지. that mean drive away bad luck and evil. when the wedding starts the groom gives the bride a wild goose. thereafter, they put drink in a gourd dipper that be divided half. and they drink that. it means harmony of them (married couple). what the groom gives a wildgoose is means forever love. once the bird get married, because the wildgoose normally love 200 years once gets married. even the fiancee died, it never get married again. And than that salute each other end of wedding. so they have a big reception with whole village people.
After 3days the bride brings some gifts that jewellerys, chestnuts, jujubes(kind of fruit) husband's house. this is the first formal bow. husband's father tosses that into her skirt. that means having a lot of children.
