It was, definitely, the shortest wedding I'd ever known of. It was interesting to see how different it was from 'western style' ceremonies. Alex did wear a white dress (later exchanged for another flashy ballgown) and her husband a full tux (gloves and all.)
Their Fathers wore suits but their Mothers wore traditional hanboks (and looked great.)
There was no priest, but there was an announcer. We were surprised when a friend of theirs got up to sing a Whitney Houston-style number during the ceremony. He could certainly sing but we were slightly bemused. We had no idea what was going and since it seems that it was a mixture of traditional and non-denominational with four tenors in the balcony in Korean.
Look, everyone looked fabulous and the music was great. The ceremony was short, the photos were longer and the reception was brief.
Very brief indeed for the newly-weds. They had time for a costume change, a visit to every table and then they were gone. (Not even a dance, shame that. Wait, there was absolutely no dancing whatsoever.)
The meal is the end of the wedding, for us at least.
The only problem was that this took less than four hours to go and come back. All dressed up and no where to go. what a shame.
