Korean wedding

2 weeks ago i attended a friend's wedding in Busan. The ceremony was simple. It started at 3pm, we reached the venue around 2.30pm. It was a hall specially for weddings, at the top floor of a shopping mall. When we arrived, the groom (my friend) was at the entrance and greeted the guests. The bride was in the pelamin room, and guests can take pics with her.

Then at 3pm the ceremony started. Like matsalleh weddings, the bride walked down the aisle w her father, the groom waited at the front, then their version of tok kadi started w the mukadimah and after they were married ada taklid. Lol. Then someone sang a song, then family and friends can take pic with the married couple. There were decorated tables and chairs where family members sat. Other guests like friends just stood around the hall to watch the whole proceeding. There was no food or drinks served during the ceremony. It all ended in half hour. Nice and simple. There were no door gifts for the guests.

Later the couple changed into korean traditional clothes and had a traditional ceremony in a small room, with their parents only. I had the chance to witness it. Basically the whole thing was so simple, and takde sesak2 mcm kalau kat mesia time nikah ngan sanding, where everyone wants watch everything and take pics.

Then friends of the bride and groom went to a restaurant somewhere outside and waited for them to come and hangout and have a party and get drunk. Then it was all over.

Basically wedding diorang lepak gila and x banyak protocol. And makan minum yg proper like a banquet utk close family members je. Kesimpulannya, wedding kat mesia lagi meriah and best. Hehe.
