You or your partner grew up knowing and living Korean customs or one or both of your families are from North or South Korea and you want to honor your heritage.

A Korean wedding can be as traditional or nontraditional as you choose. Some couples will wear more Western traditional clothing, i.e. the white wedding dress or suit, some may choose to wear Korean traditional dress like a hanbok or do half the wedding in one and half in the other. A couple may have a paebaek ceremony, traditionally a private ceremony allowing only family, although some modern couples are holding it during the cocktail hour so everyone can join.
