I plan to get married in Korea. What are the wedding customs in Korea?

Holding a wedding in Korea is no less procedural than that in China, and some procedures are even more complicated. We often say that Koreans pay attention to ceremony and respect the elderly when they get married. In the traditional wedding ceremony, parents always sit in the main seat, while the couple can only sit in the second place. Of course, many newcomers choose to get married in hotels now, which really saves a lot of trouble.

South Korea and China are traditional friendly neighbors separated only by water. In the centuries of cultural integration between China and South Korea, many cultural customs have been integrated, and finally a very distinctive Chinese wedding and Korean wedding have been formed. In Korea, don't be surprised if you see someone wearing "Ming Dynasty" clothes, which means that this man is going to marry his bride.

Before a traditional wedding, the couple need to be introduced by a matchmaker, and basically get to know each other through chatting, banquet and other means. Until they know each other well enough. At this time, the matchmaker will ask questions, and if both parties have no objection, they can enter the most important link: receiving the prize. "Accepting talents" is the most important ceremony before a Korean wedding, similar to China's "engagement". First, the elders in the south wrote "Nacai Document" and "Four Pillars" in calligraphy, wrapped them in wooden boxes and wrapped them with red ribbons, and the matchmaker chose two days to give them to the bride. After receiving the "four pillars" and "acceptance documents", the bride's family will refer to the age of the new couple, calculate the most suitable wedding date, and return it in the form of "silk auspiciousness".

It is easy to understand that after the auspicious day of silk, it is the so-called bride price in China. The so-called Namin in Korean wedding customs is not entirely cash. In addition to the necessary gift money, both families need to give back the eight-treasure lunch box consisting of cakes and beef jerky. Weight should be controlled at about 5 kg, which means no disease or disaster. If the family has money, enough silk satin will be added to the gift box to prove that the family is well-off. In Korea, this is also called "mine closure", and the bride who can get a mine closure will have a good face in the neighborhood.

In traditional weddings, the groom on Sina wants to sit next to his parents, but now many newcomers living in cities will choose nearby hotels, which are convenient and upscale. The bride and groom should address the wedding guests and put the geese on the table. The groom kowtowed twice first, and then the mother-in-law took the geese away, and the wedding was over.
