What are the taboos in Korean wedding customs?

Korean Wedding

Korean wedding customs have also been westernized to a large extent, so many etiquettes have been deleted.

Newlyweds invite relatives and friends to their wedding. South Korea has a special wedding venue, which is a large office building and weddings can be held on every floor. Most of the time is at noon. There are rows of chairs inside. The male friends sit on the left and the female friends sit on the right. The newlyweds will appear in Western-style clothing and wedding dresses and walk on a white carpet (South Korea originally dislikes red due to its resistance to China). The red envelopes sent by friends are also white, and the money sealed inside should not exceed 50,000 yuan, otherwise they will be considered suspected of bribery. The ceremony is the same as ours, no longer wordy. Then the newlyweds have to put on traditional Korean clothes. The bride has to kneel in front of her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law grabs a handful of red dates and scatters them. The bride uses the front of her dress to catch them. Then she starts to count the number of red dates. It must be an even number, so it is auspicious. If it's an odd number, secretly remove one. Then the family members of the newlyweds will issue a meal ticket to each guest. The guests can use the meal ticket to eat at the designated restaurant. There is no toasting process similar to China. The meal is just a bowl of noodles, a plate of kimchi and a glass of water. This is Korean custom. After all, unlike China, which has a rich food culture, they believe that noodles are the most precious (mentioned in Dae Jang Geum TV), so when people ask about marriage in South Korea, it is not like "When will we eat wedding candy?" similar to China, but "When?" You want me to have some noodles?"

After the wedding ceremony, the couple will set off to Jeju Island in the afternoon. Almost all Korean newlyweds come here to spend their honeymoon, because there are not many places in Korea that can have such natural scenery. Because there are too many newlyweds on the island, it is difficult to distinguish girls after plastic surgery. Therefore, Koreans will wear couple's clothes of the same color and style during their honeymoon, and they are absolutely different from others. They are very distinctive and you can tell they are a couple at a glance. This kind of habit will be felt when you go to Southeast Asian countries. Most of the people who have slender faces, are polite, and wear couple's clothes are Koreans.

By the way, let me mention the interesting customs of Korean weddings:

One of the Korean weddings is that the groom sends a box with a gift and a gift to the bride's house. People's custom of carrying boxes. Chaejeon is used to make Korean attire for brides, and it can be roughly divided into two types: deep color and red. Then write the man's condolences on paper and put it in a gift box and send it away together. The 'box bearers' are mainly selected from the groom's relatives and friends, and a few good friends go to the bride's house together. The 'box bearer' would not take the box off even when the bride arrived or was refused entry into the house. This is the etiquette of buying a 'box' in Korean wedding customs.

The relatives of the bride's family are waiting for the groom's family outside the gate, but the 'box bearer' starts shouting 'Sell the box, sell the box' from the entrance of the village. The bride's family or close friends buy the box with money or an envelope containing money. But the 'person carrying the box' said it was too cheap to sell, and after a long discussion, he was still dragged into the house by the bride's side. The bride will serve drinks and food to the 'box bearers' and her party, and will also let the bride and groom sing, dance and play together. Then use the money from the box to drink. Such harmless jokes are treated as blessings and fun games.
