John and Soyon's Wedding

Last week we went to John and Soyon's wedding. It was beautiful. Short and sweet. Had a great time, and was great to see the two of them so happy. It made me feel like I am living a real life in Korea, and not some fantasy world. Congratulations to the two of you!

Washing each others feet...


Soyon had on the most amazing dress. I wish I had a better picture of it, but I didn't know she would be changing out of it right away. She looked amazing.

Bowing to the parents while all the Koreans sang a beautiful Korean hymn. It was really beautiful. I love that part.
