Dohobuchongsa

A month ago, the first place we visited was Dohobuchongsa (see sidebar). At the time we thought that having a white wedding outside was impossible so we felt that our only choice was a traditional wedding outside. This lead us to take at look at this place, as it holds traditional weddings outside. Not only this but it is in Incheon, Songsu's hometown.

The Pro's:

Beautiful surroundings
Songsu's hometown
It's cheap

The Con's

Half of our guests are coming from Seoul, so we will have to arrange a shuttle bus for them.

It is a public building so our wedding will not be private.

Even if we book and pay for the larger court several months in advice, if the local council suddenly decides to hold a cultural event, we will be booted into the smaller yard. The smaller yard can only hold around 100 people, and given that we are expecting double that this made this place an impossible choice.

I would like to suggest a symbolic food pairing for the wedding: fish and chips with a side of kimchi :-P

I hope planning isn't too stressful for you.

I think fish and chips, and Kimchi may actually match!!!
