Another one bites the dust

This weekend we had the successful manacling together of two more of my friends. Naturally, this brought with it much jibing as to when Mina and I are going to get hitched. I will give my friends in question the benefit of the doubt and assume that most of it was good natured. I suppose it was due, because it's been a few months since anyone has pestered me with questions of the sort.

The wedding itself went off without any major hitches, unless you count the roof collapsing. It also featured me wearing a hanbok for the first time, helping carry Dan into the proceedings. The hanbok itself wasn't so bad, except that mine kept shedding parts as I moved around. The focal point though, was the ridiculous hats that they gave us to go along with them.

It was an outdoor wedding at one of the palaces in Seoul, and right at the end of the ceremony, it started pouring down rain, which filled the tarp roof, causing it to come down (fortunately after everyone had skedaddled).

Everything else at the wedding was pretty normal. The bride looked gorgeous, Dan looked gangly, and everyone was appropriately chuffed with the whole thing. Had a nice dinner after, then went on to Cargo, which Dan somehow managed to rent out for a few hours before opening up as usual at nine. All in all, one of the better wedding experiences I've had.

This was Dan's second of four marriages. He did the justice of the peace thing (or it's Korean equivalent) a little while ago, did this wedding for the bride's parents, and next they're going to do it all over again in England for his folks, who didn't come out for this ceremony. Finally, they're going to Turkey, and having the wedding on the beach that the two of them actually wanted to have in the first place. All in all, a lot of weddings.
