Well I finally made it to our wedding day. If you look to the left there is Minhee and her mother. Her mother is wearing a hanbok(한복), traditional korean dress. On this day my mother, uncle bob, aunt sue, and about 40 friends came from my side, but since Minhee's father is a servant of the korean government about 750 people came, they wanted to invite more but it was hard enough to find a place that could accomadate to that. The wedding itself lasted about 20 minutes. If one should ever have a wedding in Korea it would be wise to take all handphones as people come in. Here I am with Minhee. Boy she is lucky to be married to such a handsome guy as myself. The hardest part of the whole wedding I think was picking out the tux. And after all the effort and time I put into it, the wedding planner decided it was best to go with her choice than mine. Probally was for the better since she does it for a living and this is my first. The picture to the left is of Minhee with her cousins and her oldest brother. The picture above is of Minhee with her two brothers. Her younger brother is to the left and her older brother is to her right. Here we are after the wedding. We had a cake and got to cut it with a huge sword. I don't know what ever happened to that cake sine it disappeared after it was cut. The 'great mystery' of the day was who was going to catch the bouquet. Wasn't that hard to guess who was going to catch it since there was only one person. I guess that is the norm. Had to do the classic of picking up the bride. For a few weeks she was joking by saying she was going to gain as much weight as she could. She could have gained 20 kilos and there still wouldn't have been a problem. We had a western style wedding but also had a little korean element to it. After the western style wdding was finished we proceded to Paebaek (폐백 ) which is the payment of respect to the each side and when the parents give advice to their son or daughter. The picture to the left is when my mom got to throw some nuts at Minhee. For every nut that we caught in Minhee's dress we will have a child. If that is the case I will be very busy.
