FAQs:
What is Paebaek?
Paebaek (also spelled pyebaek, 폐백) is a Korean wedding tradition where the bride officially meets the groom's family. Traditionally, it happened at the groom's home after the wedding which happened in the bride's hometown. Nowadays, both families join in to celebrate and bless the couple.
How do you prepare for Paebaek?
The bride and groom make a grand entrance in their traditional Korean wedding attire. The bride wears an intricate outfit with a jjokduri (쪽두리) on her head and bee-nyuh (비녀) through her hair. Red dots are placed on the bride's face which symbolizes her youth and pureness.
Meanwhile, the groom wears the robes of the Chosun Dynasty officials, honoring the significance of this momentous occasion in his life. As marriage represented the most important event in a man's life, the groom was allowed to wear this outfit, even if he did not hold any position in the palace.
What happens during the Paebaek ceremony?
During the Paebaek ceremony, the couple bows to family members, starting with the groom's parents, in front of a table full with traditional Korean snacks and drinks. While it’s traditional for distant relatives to also receive bows, it's optional. Post-bow, the couple serves wine, receiving wise words and monetary gifts in envelopes from elders in return. A playful highlight comes when the couple tries catching dates and chestnuts, symbols of future children, with the bride’s apron. The ceremony wraps up with the groom joyfully carrying the bride on his back around the table, showcasing his strength and their shared happiness.
