🇰🇷 korean traditional wedding 💜️💑

A Korean wedding symbolizes more than the union of two people. (That means their families get together as well)

A 'wedding' is a reunion of two families.

 As a result, parents of both families are actively involved in many aspects of the wedding.

Parents dress up and give and receive special gifts, giving many blessings to the bride and groom throughout the ceremony (slightly the same as in our country)

The bride and groom wear specific colors at a traditional Korean wedding.

The bride usually wears red, while the groom wears blue to symbolize the Confucian idea of ​​yin and yang.

The color pine (blue) is meant to bring healing and relaxation, while the color yang (red) provides excitement and active energy. Together, energy is balanced.

Coin-sized red dots are painted on the bride's cheeks to ward off evil spirits.

"Today, most Korean brides choose to dress in white, wearing the traditional dress known as the day's celebration."

The mothers of the bride and groom wear specific colors to symbolize their family relationship with the bride and groom & Receives.

The groom's mother usually wears a light blue dress specially designed for the wedding.

The mother of the bride traditionally dresses in pink, purple or other pastel colors.

 Some wedding guests also choose to wear it.
But today it can be seen that this has changed a lot.

As is the case with most weddings, traditional weddings also feature cash giving.

The amount given varies according to the social status of the giver and the relationship between the bride and groom.

The bride and groom wash their hands at the beginning of the wedding ceremony.

This action symbolizes the purification of their bodies for future wedding ceremonies.

The bride and groom drink wine from a half-cut bitter gourd made by the bride's mother.

Once the wine is finished, the bitter gourd is put together and placed on the festive table.Dividing the bitter gourd into two equal parts symbolizes two being one (meaning two become one)

After the formal wedding, the bride and groom, along with their families, hold a small ceremony called the Pyebaek Festival.

This festival is traditionally restricted to the family.

But modern wedding couples can choose to include a large number of guests.

Pyebaek During the ceremony, the bride presents the groom's parents, her new mother - in - law, with Korean dates (jujubes) and chestnuts.

Dates and chestnuts symbolize the bride's goodwill to create a family with the couple's future children and her new husband.

Then at the ceremony, the bride's new mother - in - law throws country dates and chestnuts at the bride and tries to grab her by the skirt.

Then they get into a successful marriage  💜️🇰🇷💑
