This will be a short entry because I am late for work. ^^

This last week I received my first phone call from Korea! I was on my lunch break at work, and my friend called me. It took me all of about two minutes to realize that she was completely drunk! I asked her what time it was and she said it was 3 a.m. I had forgotten about the time difference for a minute and thought it was hilarious that she was calling me drunk on my lunch break. It was even more funny when I went back in to work and told the other teachers “..Uh… I think I just got a drunk phone call.. From Korea…”

I talked to the same friend a few days later (sober this time) and she told me that she was upset about her wedding that is coming up next summer because her fiance’s father wants them to have a traditional Korean wedding. She kept saying, “I want to wear a wedding dress!!” But if the groom’s family wants a traditional wedding, they kind of have to do it that way. I asked her what a traditional wedding was like – she told me you have to wear hanbok and get married at a traditional palace and that it takes a long time. She didn’t tell me much else.

Has anyone here been to a traditional Korean wedding? Please, share your experience in the comments! Then maybe I can persuade my friend that it will not be so bad. She is very upset about it!
