With the wedding coming up in just 2 weeks, I thought I'd share some of the process.
Most Koreans plan their weddings anywhere from 4 months to a year in advance, but more in the 5 month range. This sounds crazy to most western brides who plan for 1+ years. The difference is that most weddings here are wedding hall machines. You pick your hall and literally everything is included in your package. No hunting down separate vendors of any kind.
These kinds of weddings are also huge, impersonal, and short..I'm talking in and out in less than 2 hours. The couple will invite upwards of 300 guests, every person they or their parents have ever known. The typical wedding gift is cash, which is given in return for a meal ticket. So, in the end, the couple usually makes all the money spent on food back in gifts.
