Preparing for a Korean Wedding with My American Husband, Part 1: Budget, Venue, and Studio-Dress-Makeup Timeline

🌏 Life in Korea | Living with My American Husband 🌏 Language: 🇰🇷 KR | 🇺🇸 EN We’re a Korean–American couple who got married in Korea  May 2024 . We decided to hold only a Korean ceremony, while celebrating separately with our U.S. family with a nice dinner and photos later. Because of that, the entire process followed Korean wedding customs , which felt quite foreign to my husband. It was my first time, too, but I at least had some idea of what to expect from my friends and family. He, on the other hand, had never been exposed to how that process works in Korea — so everything felt new. For anyone preparing a wedding with an American or otherwise-foreign spouse unfamiliar with Korean wedding culture , I’m sharing our full wedding timeline and practical tips by stage based on our real experience.

A Tender Postpartum Moment with My Baby — Will BB Remember This Too?

[12/1 (Mon)·Day 7 with BB]

BB fell asleep on the nursing pillow while breastfeeding. The soft music in the room, his squishy baby cheeks, the peaceful look on his angelic face, his tiny body fitting perfectly in my arms, the warm afternoon sunlight, and the quiet calmness filling the room— all of it makes my heart swell.

A small part of me feels sad that this moment will exist only in my memory. Will BB remember this, even somewhere deep in his subconscious? I hope he remembers how much his mom loves him— and how deeply I cherish these quiet moments spent with just the two of us.
