105) Sera's Wedding


Yesterday one of my friends and co-workers had her wedding. It was not very different from a wedding in the states, and it was nice. The wedding was held at a wedding hall in Yeouido, which was pretty fancy. Before the wedding the bride (Sera) sat in the “Bride’s Room” and was treated like a queen as people came by to take her picture or talk with her.

I didn’t really understand what was going on during the ceremony, but it looked pretty standard, and was pretty short compared to the weddings I have been to in the US. From what I understand, there are five or six weddings in these halls a day, each for a four-hour (or so) time slot. After the ceremony, everybody went down to the cafeteria area for dinner. The food was very good, and served in a huge buffet style.


Sera (pictured above) worked all the way up to Friday (the day before her wedding), but is now taking a two week vacation to various parts of Europe.

Korean weddings are great! been to so many...short and sweet! funerals are very different than western funerals..after meeting with the grieving family there's a restaurant where you basically eat and drink a lot of alcohol! you been to one yet?
