[International Wedding In Korea with WEDIT ] How do we plan your wedding


Hello everyone !

As you can guess with our non-activity on the blog, we’ve been quite busy preparing weddings nowadays. And because we had to plan a lot of them during the last weeks, this is the perfect time to show you Wedit, from the inside !
How do we plan your wedding  ? How do we prepare it the week, days just before or even during the D-day ? I am taking you with me in our office to explain you what really happens when the deadline is getting closer.
Wedit team will be by your side at every step of your wedding planning

Before jumping to the last weeks before the ceremony, I would like to talk to you quickly about the first day we meet you. This is always a special day for us and, the hour before our meeting, we keep wondering what kind of people are you, what kind of wedding do you want, which new experience will you drag us in ? All those questions which often lead us to talk to you a loooot.

Chelsae and Andrew were the first International couple who trusted us ^^

After all the planning process, if we go few weeks before the wedding, we’ll probably be fixing all the little details with you and the vendors. If everything goes smoothly, the last week will be for you to relax, be with your family and friends from abroad if there are and finish writting your vows (maybe you finished them already, but we know it! Because you are busy, you usually do it the last week!).
We’ll skip the part « if everything doesn’t go smoothly » because first, there is no reason things don't go well and second, we don’t want to scare you haha.

The two last days are for us to gather all we need (and don’t need, but you know, « just in case ») for the D-day. Equipped with our checklists we keep filling our boxes with tools, decoration, paperwork and such until we feel safe. This is also the right time to call all the partners and remind them at which hours they should arrive at the wedding and ask them if they prepared everything.

On the wedding day, we usually arrive at the venue few hours before the ceremony and take control of all the vendors. We sometimes turn ourselves into decorator assistants (I have to say, it's pretty nice) and we make sure that everything is on place before you and the guests arrive.

 Finally, during the ceremony, we’ll be right next to you and check if everything is going well and we’ll also manage all the technical parts so you do not need to worry about having the mics, your vows or the rings on time. Once you are finally declared married and the party is over, we take back all we came with and it is time for us to go and let you enjoy your newlywed life.

Apart from all these organizational steps, we do like being there for you at your wedding. Like your guests, even if we are part of the working staff in the venue, we are touched by your ceremony, your vows, the speeches your family make and I personally want to say that we do get moved by all this love all around.
And at the end of the day, if we have a happy couple in front of us, we are happy as well.

Tips on dealing with possible arguments when marrying with Korean


Being an international couple means living a life full of discovers and also means learning to live with deep differences most of the time occurring from deep gap of two other cultures.
When dating, such differences can become difficulties but how is it when planning a wedding ?


International couples can face different kind of obstacles during the process : 

Planning difficulties


Most of the time, only one person can speak the language of the country which makes it difficult for the other person who can be frustrated not to be involved as much as she/he would like to be. When contacting vendors, or even searching for anything related to the wedding, if everything has to be done in a language we don’t know or not fluently, it could make the other one to be put aside.


Our tips
If you are the one being in your own country, try to involve your other half in every things she/he can do. Good at mathematics ? Taking care of the budget can be great ! Want to have a DYI decoration? Try it with your fiancé, because there is no need to communicate that much to build things ! etc. The most important point will be to find everything she/he can do so she/he feel like you two are planning your own wedding together.

Our help
As we explained in our last article, Wedit can contact vendors for you and/or do the interpretation if you need too. In order for you two to be involved at the same level, we offer our services in Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese and French !

Cultural difficulties


You probably faced some cultural difficulties while dating your other half. But while planning a wedding, these can get even bigger. Korean culture and traditions are still pretty strong, especially in older generation which can lead to some misunderstandings. Indeed, most of our international couples encounter the following situations :

When planning a wedding, even if you wish it to be the best day of your couple life, you also want your guests and especially families to know how beautiful that day is and to feel the love all around. But with two different cultures, it can be difficult to satisfy both sides :
you are having your wedding in Korea so your Korean part of the family might not understand why you don’t want to follow all the proceedings they are used to ; for example, inviting the WHOLE family whom you've never met them at all, as well as the parent’s friends or coworkers.

Another difficulty you have probably faced already can be due to daily life cultural differencies. Ever went in your family-in-law house and received stress because « if you marry our son/daughter who is Korean, you should do this and that, etc » ? If not, you are lucky enough to be in a less conservative family than some other people who are. But if you do, this kind of pressure can be even less bearable during wedding planning.

And finally, more « wedding technically » speaking, the ceremony scenario writting can also be an obstacle. Indeed, both countries probably don’t have the same kind of ceremony and sometimes it can be very hard mixing the two.  


Our tips
Most of our couples had difficulties with the Korean side of the family. This is the reason why we are giving you these examples but keep in mind that the cultural difficulties can also come from the other side of the family!

Also, those situations are very difficult for the one who is stuck between his family who is putting pressure on him and his partner so try not to fight because of it and keep remembering that the most important thing in your wedding is your couple ! You will never be able to fully satisfy each of your guests so concentrate on what you two really want.

As for the scenario, have a talk about which part you really want to be included in your ceremony and which one you can take off to make a perfect mixture of your two cultures.

Our help
With our international experience, we are able to give you advice on how to mix your two worlds. We also often get to talk too-worried or too-demanding parents in order to explain them that you might not be able to do everything they would like to.
As for the ceremony scenario and other technical things, we do have special tools at Wedit which make a fusion between Korean and Western cultures.

Distance difficulties


Another difficulty for the non-Korean person is the distance between her/him and her/his family. Having this important day planned, most of the time with the Korean parents very present, without his/her own parents, family and friends can be difficult for both side.

Indeed, the family staying far away can feel put aside while the other family can be involved more easily and the foreign groom or bride can also feel put down, as she/he can’t have all the support and help wanted for its own family and as her/his guestlist will be less important, for example.


Our tips
You are the Korean one of the couple ? 

  • Take care of how your the other half would feel, considering that his/her family is distant from him/her. 
  • Try not to invite hundreds of your friends if she/he will have only 5 of them willing to come in Korea for the wedding.
  • Try also to involve the family members (or at least the parents) who are far by updating them on how the planning is going by skype or phone call more than emails which are less personnal.

Our help
We sure cannot make your country come closer to Korea but we do can give you tips on how to involve your family and also try to explain your Korean partners and his/her family that they have to take care of you and your family even more than they would normally do, because of this distance situation.

You might not face all those difficulties but if you do, we will love help you planning your wedding and facing those obstacles, source of a stress you don’t need during the process of organising your ceremony.
