• Jean and Peter accommodated for all their friends and planned a fun week before their wedding day in Korea. Having done that, I was amazed to see their high spirits and energy.

  
  

  [below] They both got ready at a cute little boutique salon.

  
  

  

  
  

  [below] They were not to see each other beforehand, so they were constantly hiding to avoid seeing one another.

  [below] At every wedding, we catch the ladies using the double-stick tape like crazy. Gotta make sure there aren’t any wardrobe malfunctions.

  
  

  

  
  

  [below] In Korea, they have a bridal suite where it’s open for any guests to come through before the wedding. So different from our culture here in America, where it’s a no-no to see the bride. Jean was so graceful in constantly greeting guests. 

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  [below] They were married by a well-known pastor in Korea. He is currently retired because of an illness, but officiated their wedding as a rare occasion. ‘Small world’ moment: Hun’s mother asked us to get his sermon tapes, and then to see him in person was very cool and a nice surprise.

  [below] Pae-baek is usually exclusive to family, but being the accommodating couple they are, Jean and Peter wanted their friends to share the experience.

  
  

  

  
  

  [below] On the fly, they decided to do the bouquet and garter toss. Since Jean didn’t have a garter on, the booty was a good substitution.
