The Wedding Customs in Korea

The presenters have talked about the customs of marriage in South Korea. They’ve mentioned the traditional wedding, methods for a man and a woman to find its partner, divorce rate, and common modern wedding style. I have impressed traditional wedding, divorce rate in their presentation.
I wanna discuss about traditional wedding, divorce rate. At that time the question is if i get a married which one do i choose between traditional wedding and current wedding. But I think traditional wedding is really important to keep. But it is not matched reality. Now days traditional wedding price is really more expensive than current wedding ceremony. Before couples get a married, some people should prepare a lot of foods. So this is expensive. And it is so complicated how to get a married. And Korean traditional wedding usaully have the place outside. It depends on the weather. It is not efficient wedding ceremony.
I tell divorce rate as one of impressed discussion. These day it is difficult to get a job. Men usually have a job 28 years old. Women have a job 25 years old. This age is getting higher than 10years ago. Most people who prepare to get a job go the abroad for english study. Then they have spend for one year. As soon as they come back they try to get a professional certification. So they take a breaktime in their university at least once. Then their graduation time is getting later. They have no time to meet girl. So men and women meet under the condition. They just judge their ability and appearance and background. They have no choice to get a married. And they have no time to meet each other after they get a married because they are so busy. This problem make more serious problem like divorce. To solve this proble, before we get a married we seriously consider our partner. We shouldn't just see ability and appearance. Ony you should feel your love for your partner. We never meet our partner under the condition.
