In Korea a wedding represents more than the joining of two individuals, it is the bonding of two families.
Taerye (a Korean Wedding ceremony) is often an elaborate ordeal with many bows, gestures and rituals. Steeped in Confucian values, the ceremonies included plenty of food, music and dancing.
The Korean wedding has four main principals...
The first is the physical relationship between the man and woman, that it be monogamous and fruitful.
Second, that the couple respect each other with love and endure each other in all sufferings.
Thirdly, they have a common social life which is called a household. The household of the newly wed couple is the beginning of their own background in social community. They bear children and bring them up in a comfortable environment. There are a lot of responsibilities in a marriage... especially for the woman!
Finally, the wedding follows one organization. The organization is a synthetical rule like a custom, morality or law.
The wedding values act as a principle which guides the couples behaviour through to achieve standardized goals.
