Shin Han, CEO of WEDIT, had an interview on <A Little Of A Lot>, one of the famous English radio shows in Korea. Shin, Becky and other panels had a enjoyable time talking about weddings.
In the short time I worked with WEDIT as a director, this
wedding was sincerely the most touching I attended.
On April 15th, Jasmine from Canada and Sangjun from Korea, a
more than lovely couple, got married in Seulberg Pension, in Yangpyeong.
The planning of the ceremony itself wasn’t always easy for the bride and groom. The
couple faced several life and cultural obstacles (I think they can relate to
most of the obstacles we talked about in this article) but like everyone could
see at the wedding, their strong love surpassed all of them.
The ceremony was
shooted by Greg Samborski (you can see more of his work in our previous
article) on a sunny, happy and memorable day.
As some were relaxing before
doing their make up with a face mask, some family members took care of one
essential thing of the day : the drinks. Indeed, the pension offered a
very nice and natural fridge : a mountain spring.
In the Canadian
culture, the groom cannot see the bride until she get prepared, a point that
was really important for the bride. As she was with her bridesmaids, the groom
got prepared with his groomsmen and with the help of his soon-to-be Mother in
law.
Even if the ceremony
was delayed, making hungry and angry some guests, close friends and family as
well as the groom gave speeches that every couple would like to hear from their
loved ones.
During the ceremony,
the couple mixed their two cultures by having a westernized ceremony while wearing the Hanbok, traditional Korean cloth.
Even after the
obstacles faced, the day of the wedding as well, the couple offered us a very
beautiful ceremony with touching vows and reactions (and happy tears !).
The ceremony table was
decorated with beautiful flowers and greeneries by Choi Hyunmi from Petal Palette as well as very cute cupcakes
and cake by Jayleen Yu from Sweet Seasons.
After a romantic dance, and a good meal, the day finished with joyful dances and laughs until night and we left with an happy bride, groom and
families.
Thank you to Jasmine
and Sangjun for giving us this pretty day and to our partners who made the work
easier !

On April 30th, at Jongno in the Cafe Banjul, we had the chance to attend the beautiful wedding of a Korean-Chinese couple.
Jongno Cafe Banjul, Seoul
The Cafe Banjul is a place where you can enjoy various performances and exhibitions every week, giving the place a different atmosphere every time.
The bride and groom with WEDIT
The groom Park Boin and the bride Yangpei used to enjoy arts, performances, and culture during their dates. What if we had a wedding in our favorite cafe, the cafe Banjul?
This is how we were able to make this beautiful wedding together with the Banjul Cafe manager and team.
Wedding Day
In fact, the couple had a wedding in China before where Yangpei family and friends were all gathered.
On April 30th, the wedding ceremony in Banjul Cafe was held so the family and friends of the bride and groom living in Korea could also attend their wedding.
Preparation
Before the wedding, the bride Yangpei and WEDIT shared with us the details needed for their ceremony preparation and we helped them settled up everything.
(Our team can speak Chinese so there was no communication problem! :-) )
Indoor decoration
In China, there is a culture in which the bride gives tea to the guests who came to the wedding ceremony. WEDIT had arranged Chinese teas and ceramics in consideration of this custom, and the Chinese wedding ceremony was well integrated into Korean wedding ceremony so that the cultures of both countries were harmonized as much as possible.
The photo table was decorated with a gold color mirrors and chairs to create a vintage atmosphere, matching the unique colors of Banjul.
Outdoor decoration
Welcoming the guests and the ceremony
The bride and groom entered the house with the guests clapping and shouting.

Then the bride walked down the aisle with her father
The two of them laughing at each other, as they bumped each other’s head when bowing.
After that, the newlyweds talked to their guests about who they will be to each other in the future by reading their vows.
The groom’s father gave precious words to his loving daughter-in-law who just became part of the family.
The groom’s father, in regards to the Chinese guests, also gave a speech in Chinese.It was a moment filled with emotions between the father and his son who grew up so well and brought such a wonderful wife in the family.

The bride who puts on the ring smiled brightly watching the groom kissing her hand.
The end the ceremony, was full of happiness and pleasant laughs.
Second part
After the ceremony on the rooftop of the Banjul Cafe, all the guests had lunch together.
Then the second part of their ceremony was continued on the 4th floor of the Banjul Cafe.
In this second part of the ceremony, the couple gave musical performances such as a sweet piano performance by the groom Park Boin, which they enjoyed with all the guests.
The bride, the groom and the guests gathered all together to create a meaningful place by enjoying and singing together, and this day became a precious time that meant more than just a wedding.
After the wedding
After the wedding, Yangpei sent us a message to thank us for all the hardships we went through during the wedding preparations. The couple said that, thanks to WEDIT, they were able to successfully make this wedding happen and the guests also thanked all the team.

WEDIT was also touched more than once during the preparation and the ceremony of this lovely couple.
We will always remember Yangpei and Boin who allowed us to live this touching experience, and we are the one thankful for offering us these warm moments.
