i was looking through old photos again and came across these pictures from our paebaek, a korean style ceremony we held with just close family and friends after our reception. unfortunately we never got our paebaek pictures from our professional photographer and instead i remember this moment through these photos that my best friend took with her point and shoot. yangkyu's mom looks so happy in the first picture. she's beaming. and that's my dad in the second picture.
i look like i'm sulking but really i couldn't stop crying when i was bowing to my dad and when he was throwing those dates and chestnuts, which are super hard to catch by the way... i can't remember which is which, but the dates and chestnuts symbolize children, boy and girl, and you're supposed to catch them like we're doing in the first picture. the number you catch is supposed to symbolize how many children you have.
we're counting down to our five year anniversary with stories. the first installment is here where five of my blogger friends {and readers!} and i share how we knew (s)he was the one. second installment with a new topic will be coming soon so please check back mid-month.

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos. It's so interesting to see how different cultures celebrate marriages. You all look so happy :)
ReplyDeleteAw, Yangku's mom looks so happy to have a daughter in law. You should chase down the photographer for the professional pictures of your ceremony!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably be a raccoon bride at my wedding...
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos, you are so beautiful Jane!
You look just beautiful, Jane, even with that "sulk" on your face. What a beautiful ceremony and I love the catching of the chestnuts and dates and what it symbolises.
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful! I've been wedding dreaming, and I think the part I'm most excited about is actually the chinese tea ceremony with our family.
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice, I think it's a wonderful ceremony. Too bad you never got the pictures from the photographer, that's really weird!
ReplyDeleteso sweet and nice that you're friend captured these memory in lieu of the professional photos. I love hearing about the sweet little details too, the chestnuts and dates are so special :)

So interesting to learn about the symbolism of the chestnuts and this wedding tradition! Do I spy two chestnuts in the picture? ;) I love how colorful the attire is and it was so much fun to go through your wedding pics! you are both looking radiant.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I've always admired these types of private ceremonies in Asian weddings.
ReplyDeleteNever seen a Korean ceremony before! Must have been a day full of memories :)

The service at this place was impeccable. The salad I had for dinner was delicious as well as the scallop appetizer. The main course of filet mignon and dessert soufflé was also awesome!
