For me Korean wedding ceremony is like a wedding factory

00:17
Because it only takes 15 or 20 minutes to the end and then after the ceremony, we go to restaurants to have a dinner or lunch for an hour.
And that's it. I was told in American style wedding ceremony is like more than partying than ceremony.
So they spend a full day to celebrate wedding and then like dancing or like they dress up to participate the parties.

01:06
But in Korea I don't know the, time gets by the meaning of wedding ceremony is getting dismissed.
I mean, I mean, I think the main purpose of wedding ceremony is say, thank you say, thank people who support and raise me

01:34
in my life I say I'm going to be a good uttered and good I have a good family, new family as a new member of the society but, but, and then like unlike American, unlike the states in Korea, we usually give money new bride and glooms to settle down to settle down because they don't have enough money.
So that's because this culture is becoming a buisness than

02:30
ceremony like how to earn the money like, so that's why we said a Korean wedding is not for bride and gloom but for parents because the Bride and gloom don't have enough friends.
So most guests are friends of parents and they so, the money, dowry are comimg from parent's friends.

03:15
So the pressure of parents to, before preparing this ceremony is very, very, very strick.
They always like it's common to fight each other.

In my experience,
a Korean wedding ceremony feels almost like a wedding factory. The whole thing is over in just 15 or 20 minutes, and afterward, we head to a restaurant for a meal that lasts about an hour. And that’s it! I’ve heard that American weddings are much more about celebration than just the ceremony itself. They often spend the entire day celebrating, with dancing and festivities, and guests really dress up to join in on the party.

------
In Korea, I feel like the meaning of the wedding ceremony is gradually fading over time. To me, the main purpose of a wedding should be to express gratitude to the people who have supported and raised me
------
But, we usually focus more on giving money as a congratulatory money to help the new couple settle down.
This is why, in Korea, weddings often feel more like a business transaction than a meaningful ceremony—it becomes more about how much money can be collected. Moreover, most of the guests are actually the parents’ friends, and the monetary gifts usually come from them. This puts a lot of pressure on the parents leading up to the ceremony, and it's common for parents to argue with bride and groom or feel stressed during the preparation process.

  In my experience, Korean wedding ceremonies often feel somewhat like a production line, with the entire event typically completed in just 15 or 20 minutes. After the ceremony, guests usually gather at a restaurant for a meal lasting around an hour. And that’s the extent of it! In contrast, I understand that American weddings are centered around a more celebratory atmosphere. They often involve an entire day of festivities, including dancing, elaborate receptions, and guests dressing up to fully immerse themselves in the celebration.

In Korea, it seems that the deeper meaning of the wedding ceremony has gradually diminished over time. Personally, I believe the main purpose of a wedding should be to express gratitude to those who have supported and raised us.

However, the focus in Korea is often on offering congratulatory money to help the couple start their new life. This approach can make weddings feel more transactional than sentimental, with much of the emphasis placed on the amount of money received rather than the ceremony’s meaning. Furthermore, most guests are often friends of the parents, and the monetary gifts primarily come from them. This expectation can create pressure for the parents, leading to stress or even tension between them and the couple during the preparation process.
