A Korean Wedding
This past weekend one of my good friends got married here in Korea. She and her husband chose to have a traditional Korean ceremony. They will also have a western-style wedding when they return to Canada next year.
The ceremony was gorgeous! Complete with bold bright colors and regal traditions. The bride wore a red hanbok and the groom wore a maroon outfit consisting of a chigori (jacket), paji (trousers) and a turumahi (overcoat).
Unlike traditional western weddings, the bride and groom did not have attendants, but were aided by staff of the wedding venue in performing their many bows and traditions. The ceremony lasted for almost an hour and a half. I was surprised to see people getting up and leaving all throughout the service to eat-- a common practice here.

Excuse me, I am an art student and our class is doing an international drawings. I would like to use your picture of the bride getting ready for the wedding. I would be very thankful if you would allow me to - it will save me a lot of trouble.
Thank you.
