My First Korean Wedding

The wedding was held at the Seoul Plaza Hotel. I was fortunate to have been able to go such a nice wedding for my first wedding in Korea. My boss got married on Saturday, April 24. Like the states, hotel weddings are pretty pricey but even more so in Korea. If you have a hotel wedding, its a sign that your family is pretty wealthy.

Things I learned about Korean weddings:
  1. They are super short. (this one lasted from 1pm-3pm)
  2. Ceremony and reception are held together at the same time
  3. No party
  4. No alcohol, if you're lucky like me, you'll get a glass of wine
  5. You have to pay as a gift the worth of your food
  6. After the wedding, people grab the center piece bouquets and the front ladies wrap them up nicely for you to take home.
Beautiful Centerpiece

KPC CEO was the guy who led the wedding. My boss can't get enough of KPC lol.


Pretty chandeliers! Must be a pain to untangle.

My team from KPC. The Sustainability Management Center (SMC) doing a dance and song for the boss. I was fortunate enough to sit this one out.
