[Destination Wedding In Korea] Soul Searching Wedding in Seoul
One Day I got an instant message
Chelsea was looking for an wedding planner
who can plan her wedding in Seoul
who can plan her wedding in Seoul
I wondered what made her want to do her wedding
half way across the world
half way across the world
Chelsea & Andrew's story
Chelsea and Andrew met in 2011 and instantly fell in love
Chelsea had a wish
She was born in korea but adopted to US as a baby
She wanted to find who she was
And always wanted to be recognized by her birth parents
Andrew understood her long wish
and when she asked
"Can we do our wedding in Korea?"
without hesitation
"Yes"
(Andrew proposing to Chelsea on the top of Eiffel Tower)
So the planning began
The biggest concern was the venue
I wanted to find the right place where Chelsea can
find her heritage also cozy and peaceful
After a month of searching...searching
I found just the right spot for this special wedding
Salon Margot
A quiet Hanok Cafe near Changduk Palace
After a long 6 month preparation
the wedding day came at last
Chelsea became the most beautiful bride
and Andrew wore makeup
After some time in front of a camera
They headed for the beautifully prepared venue
Everybody was excited about the wedding
It was a small wedding
but was meaningful than any other
Andrew couldn't stop smiling
The bride enters
In the name of
Family
&
Love
What made this ceremony so special
Joe, Chelsea's Father
was the officiant of the sacred wedding
Father love to her little girl
And all the parents of Andrew & Chelsea
came all the way to Korea
to support their young one's love
The Ceremony was both touching and joyful
Even made Andrew's father weep in tears
"Now you may kiss the bride!"
Chelsea's birth mother attended the wedding
Making Chelsea the happiest bride
She at last became fully Chelsea & 안효미
During the wedding reception
Chelsea's Korean mother couldn't let go of her hand
She hold Chelsea's hand as long as she could
It was as though she was quietly sending a silent message
"Thank you for growing so beautifully
I'm sorry...
And I love you"
I wanted to prepare a surprise gift for the two lovely couple
So I rented a pair of'Han-bok' (Korean traditional Clothes)
So that they can really enjoy the Korean heritage
Andrew was shy in the outfit at first
But he sort of liked it in the end...
After the wedding Andrew sent me a message
Because they were staying in Seoul as their honeymoon
He proposed we meet and have a glass of 'soju'
In the end it was not a glass...
It turned into bottles of soju
We had so much fun knowing each other
Sharing the memory of the most happiest day of someone's life
made us friends, real friends. In korea we call this 인연
After returning home
Andrew gave us a great review
Being a part of an unforgettable day
It felt like a miracle to me
To be someone who is a part of their history
is an honor and privilege
It was so grateful to be your Wedding Planner
