[South Korea] Oct 13 2007 ---- Jung Hwan Kook Wedding, Hwasun

Jung Hwan Kook wedding took place in Hwasun, a town close to the Gwangju city. All the lab mates attended the wedding ceremony. We used a van to go there and Ho kyong was driving. The wedding was inside a church. On the first floor its the restaurant and on the second floor its church. We attended the wedding ceremony first and then went for the buffet type lunch. The lunch includes a variety of dishes including many sweets, fruit, fish and pork alongwith Korean traditional drinks made from rice. We stayed there for 2 hours and came back. When we reached GIST, Jungsa was missing. We probably left him behind. But he could come with other people.

The wedding ceremony includes the song sung by groom. Then the bride comes her father on the stage and then a priest makes a speech. The pictures of both bride and groom since their childhood, graduation, parents, dating etc. are projected. After the lunch the photo session starts where all the relatives and friends take pictures with bride and groom. After the photo session every body leaves.
