Wedding Season

It's the tourist season for couples to come to London for their weddings.  The most popular background for their photos is Tower Bridge. However this couple have chosen the 14th century Leadenhall Market in the City of London, now more famous for representing "the leaky cauldron" and "Daigon Alley" in the film Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone.

Korean Wedding

 Dancers and drummers perform before the bride and groom arrive for a traditional Korean wedding in a ritual dates back to Confucian times and values.  The couple meet each other for the first time at the wedding ceremony and the bride can dress in royal clothing and for one truly be a princess.

It is a lengthy ceremony with a lot of bowing, hand washing and gift giving.   One of the gifts is wooden geese, given by the groom to his mother-in-law. The symbolism in this gift is that geese mate for life so hopefully so will this marriage.

The Outcome

Get too romantic today and this is likely to happen.
