first served tea to the elders and received red packets and jewelry for the
bride. The bride will wear a traditional ‘kua’ with a veil. The veil may not be
removed by anyone other than the husband-to-be, after which they are
considered man and bride.

In the evening, the couple hosted a Chinese-style banquet which is a

huge feast with all the friends and the family of bride and groom. During the
reception, the couple will make their rounds and greet their guests. The
guests will bring an ang pau (monetary gift) for the newlyweds in a red
packet. There is no set amount to give, so depending on how close you are

Korean Weddings
In Korean family life, weddings seems more than a union between
families concerned than a coupling individuals. Due to that reason,
the wealth of both parties becomes very important in arranging a
wedding. A white envelope containing cash is considered the optimal
gift at Korean wedding and the amount of money should correspond
to your level of closeness to the couple.

Modern Koreans solemnize their weddings in churches or public

hall. The bridegroom wears tuxedo and the bride wears a white
wedding gown with a veil and carries a bouquet of lilies or roses. The
// Insert picture here // groom places a wedding ring on his bride’s finger, and the two swear
an oath of conjugal love.

The Pye-baek is a traditional ceremony that takes place during the

wedding. First, the bride bows to her husband’s relatives in order of
closeness in kinship. Although the wedding ceremony is in a modern
style, the Pye-baek is “ritually” observed.
