Who will tell us what is the custom of Korean marriage?

Generally speaking, Korean unmarried couples need to pay New Year greetings at each other's home before the wedding. With the consent of both parents, the woman is responsible for choosing an auspicious day, and then booking air tickets for the wedding venue and wedding itinerary. These items generally cost about 3 million won. It generally takes about 1.5 million won to take a wedding photo. It is a Korean custom that the man is responsible for buying a house and the woman is responsible for buying furniture, appliances and simple interior decoration. Due to the skyrocketing housing prices in recent years, many newlyweds have chosen to rent houses. In the traditional wedding, there is a "Qian Si" ceremony, which is still preserved today: the daughter-in-law toasts her parents-in-law and kowtows four times. After drinking the wine, my in-laws said some blessings and threw the dates to my daughter-in-law, who then used a Korean dress, which means how much to take and how much to give birth to. When using "coins and silks", parents-in-law usually give their daughter-in-law some money symbolically for wedding travel.

It is said that there are many traditional and old-fashioned wedding procedures in Korea, and the etiquette procedures are also very complicated. This is the so-called marriage negotiation, which is introduced by the matchmaker. Parents of both men and women negotiate marriage and engagement for their children. When she was engaged, the man sent someone to give her a bride price, also known as "delivering letters", which contained letters and green satin and asked her to make a coat and skirt. This woman must write back. When Nabi got married, the man used two boxes to hold "gifts" (letters) and gifts respectively. The gift is tied with red silk thread, first with red satin, then with blue satin. The box was sent to the woman's house by her unmarried relatives and friends. Before marriage, the woman will inform the man of the chosen wedding date. Before marriage, the woman should make divination according to the four pillars and five elements of both parties and choose the auspicious day for marriage.

On the wedding day, the groom should get up early, put on a wedding dress and pay homage to his parents, who will tell them to go to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors. After that, the groom and his entourage rode to the bride's house to meet her. The first guest in the entourage refers to the groom's father or uncle. The bride wore a velvet corolla and a beautiful rainbow wedding dress to bid farewell to her parents, who repeatedly told her to honor her in-laws and pay attention to etiquette. Relatives surrounded the bride and sent her to the middle gate. After the groom went into the woman's house to visit her mother-in-law, the bride came out to meet the groom, bowed to each other, connected her wrists with blue and red silk threads, drank three glasses of wine and exchanged wedding rings. Then the bride comes down to the car with the help of her mother or relatives. The groom pulls back the curtain and the bride enters the car. The groom leads the way on horseback, followed by a sedan chair. After the sedan chair arrives at the groom's house, it has to go through a series of procedures, including spreading beans, placing several plates of chestnuts, dates and persimmons, hens and cocks. When getting married, the bride and groom must eat cold noodles and rice cakes. The former symbolizes growing old together, while the latter symbolizes reunion.

On the second day after marriage, the bride will visit her in-laws, and on the third day, the bride and groom will visit their parents. Two months or a year after marriage, the bride, accompanied by her husband or father-in-law, returns home with food and gifts. However, in South Korea today, there are not many traditional weddings. The traditional old-fashioned wedding is not only expensive, but also complicated and time-consuming. Therefore, more and more people leave the wedding to professional companies to design and handle, thus forming a wedding economy.

According to the statistics of Korea Statistics Office, in 2006, about 300,000 couples have entered or will enter the wedding hall in Korea, and the wedding market scale has reached 15 trillion won (1 RMB 120 won). A questionnaire survey of 300 newly married couples recently released by the Korea Institute of Marriage Culture shows that their average investment in marriage is 654.38+35 billion won, twice as much as 76 million won in 2000. Large department stores try their best to attract unmarried couples. More and more wedding venues, restaurants and department stores are constantly innovating to attract the bride and groom, and there are also wedding planners who provide one-stop services for holding weddings. After the wedding, Koreans usually travel at home and abroad, so travel agencies and airlines compete to launch various special services. Korean wedding economy has entered the stage of industrialization.

With the development of the times, social changes and economic ups and downs, many Korean young people's views on weddings are also changing, and some people are even bored and afraid. Therefore, some people go to the government to register, even if they have completed the marriage formalities, they will no longer hold a big wedding banquet and try their best to save money to buy a house. This situation is increasing, and it continues to increase.
