Habang kami ay namamasyal noong Linggo, ika-12 ng Oktubre, natiyempuhan namin ang isang tradisyunal na kasal na ginaganap noong hapon ding yaon. Ang mga bagong kasal ay isang koreana at isang dayuhan na piniling magpakasal sa isang pampublikong lugar. Hayan at marami tuloy ang naki-isyoso at isa na ako roon. Maraming seremonyas ang tradisyunal na kasal at medyo mabagal ang mga galaw nila. Walang palitan ng singsing at walang halikan na naganap! Sa panahon ngayon, “bagong kasal” nga kaya talaga? LOL!

We were visiting the Namsan Hanok Village last Sunday afternoon when we chanced upon a couple getting married the traditional way. The newlyweds, a Korean and a Canadian, chose to get married in a very public place therefore attracting numerous spectators – including me! The traditional Korean wedding has a lot of ceremonies in it and is done in a very slow fashion. The newlyweds didn’t exchange rings nor did they kiss!
