Chal from Korea
On
the wedding day of my brother-in-law, I was really
glad because I had a new friend as well as a
sister-in-law. Many people came to congratulate the
new couple. There were many camera flashes, sweet
music and flower arches. Whenever I recall that
day, the first thing I remember is my pink
dress.
On
that day, I wore the Korean traditional dress which
consists of a jacket and a skirt. This dress was
pink, and there were flowers embroidered around the
neck, on the sleeves and on the bottom of the
skirt. There were long ribbons which were attached
to the jacket. Instead of buttons, these ribbons
were used to fasten the jacket.
This
dress felt smooth but not soft. When I walked in
the dress, there was a crispy sound from the
rubbing of the dress. It was like the sound when I
walk on snow. The skirt was so long that it trailed
on the floor.
When
the wedding ceremony ended, I was so tired because
I had to greet the relatives and act as a guide. It
was no wonder that the uncomfortable dress added to
my fatigue. On my wedding day, I did not realize
how uncomfortable it was for every member of my
family to wear such a dress during my wedding
ceremony.
