According to TheChosunilbo Korean men want to marry foreign women because they are less picky about their husband's educational background and financial status. Korean women choose a foreign spouse because a foreign husband seems to be more dedicated to his family and the life seems more relaxed compared to the marriage life with Korean man[3].

[International Wedding in Korea] A beautiful and intimate ceremony


[Wedding story] Beautiful wedding in Korea


It was the beginning of 2018. Lovely couple has visited WEDIT office. She's from North Carolina, he's from South Korea.
They already had a vision of their beautiful wedding in Korea. They wanted a romantic traveling concept wedding. 
They prepared luggage tags for guests.
Beautiful wedding in Korea. 
I still remember all the process. It was not the wedding that we used to see. This kind of wedding I have experienced for the first time.
 I will explain it why...
1. Bride and groom didn't see each other for 24 hours. Nowadays no one follows those rules.
2. They wrote their vows separately. They haven't shown their vows to each other.
3. The groom saw the bride after 24 hours when she walked in with her father. Can you imagine their emotions?!
4. The ceremony itself was sacred, no clapping, no noise, no introduction, just music. The guests were so concentrated which is not common in Wedding Hall Korean Weddings.
The Officiant and MC were WEDIT CEO Shin Han. He made an announcement about the ceremony, that it's sacred, and guests should not make any noise, all their concentration should be on the ceremony.
First walk-in... Groom is walking-in followed by groomsmen and bridesmaids...
Everyone is waiting for the bride...and Officiant asks the guests to stand and welcome the beautiful bride and her father!
Here is the Gorgeous Bride!
Here is the Groom meeting the Bride, father is giving his blessings to their marriage...
The scene is full of emotions which brings tears to the Bride's eyes... Their first meeting after 24 hours (everyone was touched by this scene)😭
The second part of the ceremony has started! More relaxed and casual, full of fun and joy!
Here is the introduction of groomsmen and bridesmaids! They re-enter dancing and having fun!
Now is the re-entrance of Newly Weds!!! 
You can see how happy they are!!!
Pictures with friends!
Even the wedding ceremony has its end, the Newly Wed's life has just started! Wish you happily Married life!!

There’s a new platform that has emerged along with the changing trends in the wedding culture. It’s the wedit a platform for small scale wedding ceremonies. It provides informational wedding venues and pre wedding photo shoots that people can prepare themselves and also they introduce customers to a lot of wedding companies. 

변화하는 웨딩 트렌드에 발밪추어 출시된 플랫폼이 있다. 바로 웨딧이라는 작은규모의 결혼식을 위한 플랫폼이다. 사람들이 스스로 웨딩을 준비할 수 있도록 웨딩장소, 스냅 등에 대한 정보를 제공함과 동시에 고객들에게 다양한 업체를 소개시켜주고 있다.


Interview of Shin Han, CEO of Wedit








A lot of grooms and brides tend to start preparations without any information. So we collect a lot of different information on wedding ceremonies and give them support to compare the prices and we make suggestions for them. It is a system that helps people better prepare for their own wedding ceremonies.




About 150 companies related to the small scale wedding ceremony have registered for the platform. They’ve given support for people who prepare for small and simple wedding ceremonies by considering their different taste and economic conditions. 

이 플랫폼에는 약 150개 정도의 스몰웨딩 관련 업체들이 등록되어있다. 신랑신부의 각기 다른 취향과 상황을 고려하여 작고 심플한 결혼식을 준비하는 사람들을 도와주고 있다.
