Episode 5: i do, thank u, next (Weddings)

Join hosts Daniel and Jun as they discuss one of the biggest and oldest traditions: weddings. Daniel recently attended his very first Korean wedding, and came away with a lot of comparisons to American-style weddings. Meanwhile, Jun has many questions as a native Korean having never attended an American wedding, but seeing them depicted often in shows and movies. What does a typical wedding in Korea look like? Do Koreans still do 폐백 (pyebaek), or is it seen as too old-fashioned? What happens in the months leading up to the wedding? Between the food, cake, gifts, guest list, bridal party, bouquet toss, and favors, how do these compare across the two styles of weddings? What might an American find most appealing about a Korean wedding?

If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more!
