This was the first traditional Korean wedding ceremony I had ever been to. I didn't have any idea what was going on, so I was very thankful to have Mimi and Mike's friends there to explain to me what was going on. Later on, I found a couple of useful links that also gave me some more information.

In this photo, a cup full of soju is being passed to members of the groom's family as an offering. Each member of the groom's family receives a drink. The bride and groom then bow to them and finally chestnuts are thrown. This process is repeated for all members of the groom's family who want to take part and with a big extended family it appeared to get quite tiring!

Mimi and Mike persevered admirably. The outfits were so beautiful and amazing I couldn't help myself but take tens of pictures during this event. This was one of the photos that I thought turned out really well. I am quite pleased with the framing, action, and the expressions on Mimi and Mike's faces. Congratulations once again guys!
