Coincides with Chapter 60 of 'Love Covers A Multitude of Sins  http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/490752/60/love-covers-a-multitude-of-sins-boysoverflowers-kimhyungjun-kimhyunjoong-kimkyujong-ss501-originalcharacter-yoonjihoo

 

1)As beginning of the ceremony, bride’s and groom’s mothers would enter the wedding place and light candles. This candle flames represent the wish of the new couple’s bright future with passion.

2)The reason of using wild geese is because once they bound to each other they never meet another partner.

3)Bride comes with beautifully decorated wagon and she does not show her face until entering the ceremony place.  I chose to use the floer petals instead of the wagon.

4)Groom walks to the east side of the wedding table and bride walks to the westside. (Both of them have helper to assist, so no need to worry about figuring out which side is east or west) Then bride and groom face each other across the wedding table. The helpers wash the hands of the bride and groom which symbolizes cleaning both mind and body for the ceremony.

5)The bride bows twice to the groom first then groom bows back once to the bride. The bride then bows two more times to the groom, who bows back once more. Bowing represents the promise of commitment to each other. After bowing, both kneel down and face each other.

6)This is old eglish, but I just loved 'with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow'.  I thought it fit our strong and passionate couple.

7)Bride and Groom drink liquor in the gourd cups. (These cups are produces by splitting in half a whole gourd and symbolizes that the bride and groom each made up one half and only together could they be considered as whole) Both cups will be filled with liquor (by helpers) and both groom and bride drink only half (no one shot!!) then exchange the cups and drink all. Drinking signifies the destiny of the news husband and wife, and their harmony.

8)symbolizing his acceptance of his obligations to both his mother and wife.

9) Bride and Groom receive the Girugi (wooden wild geese) from bride’s mom. She would give one to groom and one to bride. This represents that the bride and groom will contribute to only to each other during their whole life.
