Today, I'd like to talk about marriage traditions in Korea. In traditional wedding ceremony, there were 3 steps. First, older family members of a bride and a groom discussed each other's opinion about marriage of a bride and a groom. After they had decided a marriage of a bride and a groom, a groom went to a bride's house to get a wedding ceremony. Because past Korean lived in Hanok, a type of Korean-style house that had a big empty front yard, a traditional wedding was held in the yard of house. In a bride's house, a groom gave a wild goose to parents of a bride. It means to promise to live together forever even if a spouse die earlier than another one. Ans then a bride and a groom stand in front of each other and bowed to each other. But at this procedure, a bride had to hid her's face by wild sleeves. And then they shared each other's glasses and gave a little of food to each others. Also, they prepared 2 of gourd dipper and It meas to declare that they got a married like a gourd became one by two.
