Attending our friend's wedding at 유성 컨벤션 웨딩홀.

One of the main objectives of this trip was also to attend Sungsoo's close friend's wedding. Having went through the process, I kind of know what to expect to experience. Like most Korean weddings, it was held in a wedding hall which a few other couples also went through similar "factory" style process. Each couple were given an hour to conduct the walk-in, speech, max 1-2 performance, photo taking. The couple would then have to leave the room and proceed to another private room for the tea ceremony which was attended by only immediate family and relatives. The other guests tend proceeded to the shared dining area which the guests from different wedding couples co-shared the buffet spread.

One other trend that is getting more and more common these days is to hold the ceremony without an actual solemnizer. The intend is to make the ceremony less formal. The wedding couple could choose to make their own drafted speech instead of the solemnizer speaking most of the time. 

The bride and groom would then proceed to pay their respect to their parents respectively. After the ceremony ended and the photo-taking, the guests then proceeded for their buffet lunch.

I couldn't eat much this time round as a lot of the food are not cooked, e.g. fermented crabs, sashimi and sushi etc... Being preggy just have to play on the safe side.

I asked my mother-in-law (어머님) after she attending our Singapore wedding on which type of wedding style she enjoyed more. She mentioned Korean weddings are generally too formal and there aren't enough time to bond with the family and friends.






On our way home, we went through a park which is along a river. There is where I saw 2 magpies (喜鹊) . Lucky day. Happy Day.
