Wedding Special

Sunday morning. We were supposed to attend Edward’s cousin wedding.
I met Edward at the McDonald near yonsei after his TOEIC paper and we took a train down to Samseong, where we took the limousine bus to the hotel prima seoul.

We went to look for bride..and there she was in a brightly lit room posing for the photographers with her bridesmaids. It was much later that I realized that I just missed a good chance for a photo shoot.

I entered the wedding hall, feeling a little weird, knowing that I was probably the only non-korean in the entire room.

I just tagged alongside Edward as he introduced me to his friends and relatives as his Singaporean chingu. We sat at the table and there was already lots of food on the table, bread and ricecakes , mochi-looking cakes and needless to say, there was kimchi. I was wondering who was going to occupy the two seats beside me. After a while, the bride’s mother and father answered my question by …settling themselves comfortably in the seats. and then I saw the white sign on table (the Bride’s family table). -.-


I was rather quiet throughout, due to my inadequate grasp of the language (some of the Edwards’ relatives, his father and grandfather spoke Chinese to me). I only managed to hold a decent conversation with Edward’s sister’s friend, Brenda. She was a native English teacher, teaching in Daegu through phone, who was hoping to switch to become an Emirates air stewardess. Not bad. hurhur. Other than that..basically, I sat there, observed and took pictures.


Here comes the groom.
Apparently the groom is some rich guy, who is the CG director for The World, some Korean movie that is showing in Korea right now.
In Korea, it’s a dream come true for a girl to hook up with a rich guy. Everything’s covered. If you watch enough k dramas you’d probably know that the male side needs to prepare the house and the female side need to provide the furniture. So if you’ve got a uber rich husband, you can ignore the part about getting furniture.

The bride.

My camera is not doing justice to her. Not my fault.

Kid feeling bored just like me. For a moment, we shared the same thoughts: Can they stop mumbling crap and just get on with the ceremony?

Looks like a set from some Korean drama. With the bubbles and dry ice to create a winter sonata effect.
Please make your mother cry ah. But actually quite sad. I also wanted to tear.

I think I was too near the stage and had an overdose of dry ice.

The entire cast. Family photo, my friend is in light blue. I caught them while they weren’t ready for the camera.

Among the bride’s friend, Miss Korea..look for her yourself, but according to my friend, she isn’t that pretty. I heard that Son Ye-jin 손예진 was her friend too but she wasn;t invited because the bride was afraid that she would steal the limelight. Lol.

Edward and I.

Time to head home after the wedding..his sister is going to stay over at his place.I hope we have enough space to sleep tonight...
