North or south Korean......?
Beautiful shots and most interesting commentary. The ritual sounds about as complicated as our wedding rituals.
I've never seen a Korean wedding. Looks colorful and beautiful!
You get to see the most interesting things to share with us. It looks like a beautiful occasion.
These traditions are completely unfamiliar to me. Weddings are surrounded by longstanding customs in just about every country. My daughter was married recently and it was important to wear something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
beautiful wedding ! :)
The couple meet each other for the first time at the wedding ceremony. Really?
Beautiful clothing and description of rituals. It's amazing that people can still meet for the first time at weddings, at least in much of the Western hemisphere, but I guess part of the beauty is that there's so much variety around the world with courtship ritual.
