) and then we will have a ceremony in Canada. Soneone also mentioned to me once that sometimes you can get married in a palace...?...Has anyone heard this? If its true...that might be nice.. Very Happy

A little out of Seoul, but my wife and I got married at the Folk Village in Yongin. We only had to pay for the entrance fee for our guests, but our wedding was open to the public, so half the people on the video are people we know, and the other half are just curious onlookers. Very Happy

However, with the money we received as wedding presents, the wedding pretty much paid for itself.

Glad we did it that way. Certainly a little more memorable than the wedding hall version, and all my friends and family that have seen the video tape and pictures truly enjoyed the ceremony.

However you decide to have the ceremony, best of luck.

The Church that we were members at. Costwise, it was very inexpensive that route. Just had to fork out for the clothes, and some grub for the guests.

I personally didn't want a "wedding hall" wedding either because it seems so much like a wedding factory and had planned to have it at a church instead. those plans did not work out. However, we found a great compromise and i loved our wedding. We had it at a Teacher's wedding hall. You can only use the wedding hall if you or your future spouse have a relative that works as a public school teacher which cuts down (theoretically) on the amount of weddings each day. Each city has its own teacher's wedding hall and it is very cheap to use. Because i didn't want to feel rushed and have to have everything done (wedding, reception, etc.) done in an hour, we scheduled our wedding for the last one that day, i think around 3pm. Having the last wedding scheduled, guaranteed that we would have no one showing up early for the next wedding scheduled and no gawkers. Reception was in the same building just on another floor. As you might guess it was held in Taegu.

Congratulations on your wedding.

I haven't had a wedding but when I do I'm going to have it in a field and there's going to get pig on the spit, grits, mash and veg, tons of beer and whiskey and a bluegrass band.

It's going to be fantastic.

Now all I've got to do is find a woman who will marry me.

If you don't like wedding halls, the Grand Hyatt in Seoul is a lovely hotel with nice grounds in summer--you can organize the reception/wedding you'd like whether it's big or small, and in all kinds of price ranges.
