Our (party’s) wedding: Tying the knot in North Korea

The government sticks its nose in everything, including two people's special day

Every week we ask a North Korean your questions, giving you the chance to learn more about the country we know so little about.

This week’s question is:

How is a wedding in South Korea different from a wedding ceremony in North Korea? Do you wear a wedding dress and tuxedo as in South Korea?

As you know, the bride often wears a wedding dress and the groom wears a tuxedo in South Korea. But no, they don’t wear them at wedding ceremony in North Korea.

To me, weddings in South Korea look very different from weddings in North Korea.
