after breakfast, the families checked out of the Ritz, to begin the wedding preparations. One room in somin’s dad restaurant in dogok-dong will be used as a control room for the preparations. The mothers, Geum hee and the three girls mothers volunteered to do the actual planning for the wedding but the couple wants a professional planner to handle things for them.

     “Babe, we have a meeting with a planner I looked at the net and jae’s planner tomorrow. We’ll just give her a try. Maybe she can suggest the honeymoon?” Hyun joong and Somin will be leaving their families after breakfast at the Ritz. The others would all be going home.

     “Mom, Somin and I are meeting the planner after breakfast. and I think we’ll go house shopping after.” Hyun joong tells Somin’s mother, who was busy talking to Jae’s mother.
