Korean traditional wedding culture

Because geese are monogamous animals, they only have one companion in their life. So usually during the wedding leave, the man will send a big goose when he comes to the door to show his loyalty.

In fact, this move is to show my mind and promise my parents-in-law that I will take good care of this girl and be good to her all my life.

After receiving the goose, if the woman is interested in the man, she will give back a goose. The same is to show your mind, which not only shows that you are willing to accept the other person's mind, but also shows your mind

Therefore, the act of sending geese has a beautiful meaning and significance, and it is also hoped that a couple can stick to their original heart and stay together in the future.

In fact, all over the world, there are some unique customs at weddings, which outsiders may find strange. For example, the Philippines usually flies pigeons at weddings, which means that the future life of two people is harmonious and beautiful, and life is smooth.

Elsewhere, the bride and groom must saw off a piece of wood together on the wedding day. This means that no matter what two people do together in the future, they will face all kinds of difficulties in life together, which means that they are willing to face difficulties together.

In our place, on the wedding day of my daughter, my father would tie an apron, grab a pair of red chopsticks and scatter them on the scarf. This is to hope that two people can live a harmonious and beautiful life in the future. Even if there are some trivial things in life, quarrels will pass.

So every place has its own unique customs. It seems incomprehensible on the surface, but it is easy to accept after understanding the meaning.
