Marriage in South Korea

When two grown-ups in South Korea love each other very much and want to be together forever, they can get married! Marriage is like having a best friend that you promise to always be with and take care of.

First, the couple needs to decide if they want a big wedding with lots of people or a smaller one with just their close family and friends. They also need to make sure they have everything they need for the wedding, like nice clothes and rings.

Before the wedding, the couple usually has a meeting with both sets of parents to get to know each other better and ask for permission to get married. If both sets of parents approve, they will usually give the couple some money to help with the wedding costs.

On the wedding day, the couple will wear traditional Korean clothes called hanbok and have a ceremony where they exchange vows and rings. During the ceremony, the couple will also bow to their parents as a sign of respect and gratitude.

After the wedding, the couple will usually move in together and start their new life together. In South Korea, the husband is usually expected to be the breadwinner and provide for the family, while the wife takes care of the home and children.

Overall, marriage in South Korea is a special and important commitment between two people who love each other and want to build a life together.
