i think I'm in love

These are two of the 5 venues I have selected as an all-in-one ceremony/reception. *singing* I'm torn in between the two.

Decisions, Decisions! Ms. Lee both are gorgeous! I must say that although I like both, #1 was my fav.

I like both...I am such a beach person. I love water!
I like the 1st house better.

I'm a married woman as of December 2, 2006.

Re: i think I'm in love

you guys are so helpful! I was leaning more towards house number 1 also but you guys just pushed me over the edge, sometimes you need the input of your girls. If you look at one of the pictures of the family of the bride & groom, or what looks like the bridal party pic you can see a traditional korean wedding attire the hanbok. My FMIL has asked if I would be ok if she wished to wear a Hanbok.

We decided to incorporate both African & Korean customs in our wedding. We would like to jump the broom, the African 12 symbols of life orthe seven steps and have a separate Korean ceremony called a pae baek in which we honor his parents and ancestors.

Ya girl will be rocking a hanbok!

Re: i think I'm in love

Will you be wearing it for the whole day, wedding and reception?

Will you FH wear traditional attire as well? And will the bridal party wear Hanboks too?

I will only be wearing it for the pae baek ceremony. FH will indeed be wearing traditional attire, only for the pae baek. Then I will be immediately changing into my big ivory dress & he into his tux.

The bridal party won't have to wear a hanbok. The pae baek is really small. Just both sets of parents & grandparents. We bow to his family first (grandparents then parents) and the same for mine. They throw food at me to catch in the hanbok (symbolizes prosperity & fertility). and then he gives me a piggyback ride around the room to show that he can support me fully as my husband.

I'm looking forward to the piggyback ride. Because in front of a crowd this man is a fool.

Re: i think I'm in love

FH is going to give you the piggyback ride too, that's cool. The ceremony should be really nice, I know you've got to be nervous and excited! Have you thought about doing the reception around you heritage? When you enter as husband and wife you could jump the broom.

nique if this man even THINKS of throwing me in one of those pools @ house #1 (if we get it) IT WILL BE ON! He does retarded stuff like that. He would have me on his back and he would just str8 jump in the pool. I can see it now and I swear if it happens, we will be BOXING!

hahaha... I suppose so long as he soaks the hanbok and not my dress then we're ok. But damn, my hair is going to be ruined. Hahaha... I never know what he is going to do. I think his sponteneity is what has kept us interesting.

Re: i think I'm in love

When I saw #1, I didn't even want to look at #2. My mind was made up. However, I did look at #2, and it was beautiful as well, but I still vote for #1.

It's definately numnber 2!

ONe reminds me of a hotel, but number 2 looks like a palace. It also has more covered areas so that if there is rain or even a high wind your guests will be comfortable. The grounds are spectacular and yet toned down. It looks as if a very gracious host was throwing a party for close friends. The first seems like a more public space.
