The summer of 2013 has been a wonderful season for celebrity weddings.
Singer Baek Ji Young and actor Jung Suk Won began the wedding season with a romantic wedding early in June. The couple dated for two years before marrying at the Sheraton Walker hotel. Many celebrities attended the event. The guest list included Go So Young, Son Dam Bi, Oh Ji Ho, Park Bo Young, Park Jin Young, JYJ's Kim Jae Joong and Park Yoo Chun.
Baek Ji Young wore an elegant yet understated strapless white dress and skipped a veil in favor of a sparkling hair ornament and earrings. She carried a bouquet of peach-colored roses. Baek Ji Young is eight years older than her actor husband.
Actor Kim Jae Won's wedding surprised many of his fans that did not even know he was dating. He did not marry a celebrity but instead a childhood friend that he reconnected with only a few months before. His wife, who was three months pregnant, works in the management of a leading modeling agency. The ceremony was private and the bride was not photographed. At the pre-wedding press conference, Kim Jae Won called her his best friend.
"Without even trying we always seem to think in a similar way," said Kim. "That's why she is the person I want to spend my life with."
Their evening wedding was held in Seoul's Gangnam district and officiated by a minister from his church. His 700 guests included actor Ji Sung, who has since announced plans to marry actress Lee Bo Young. Actress Hwang Jung Eum caught the bouquet.
The next wedding took place early in July. Actress Han Hye Jin married soccer player Ki Sueng Yung at Seoul's Intercontinental Hotel. The bride wore a short-sleeved lacy dress and the couple was photographed making a mutual heart-sign. The couple only dated for three months before deciding to marry. They were not sure they could make the eight-year age difference work but could not stop dreaming of each other. After the wedding Han Hye Jin followed her husband to England where he plays soccer for Swansea City.
The biggest wedding of the summer was that of power couple actors Lee Byung Hun and Lee Min Jung. Nine hundred guests attended, including Kwon Sang Woo and wife Song Tae Young, Han Ga In and husband Yun Jung Hoon, Yoo Ji Tae and Kim Hyo Jin, Jang Dong Gun and his wife Go So Young, Lee Chun Hee and Jeon Hye Jin. Kim Tae Hee attended without boyfriend Rain, who was recently discharged from the military.
Lee Min Jung wore a Marchesa sleeveless wedding dress with a veil for the ceremony and a long sleeved lacy dress with a sparkling headband for the pre-wedding press conference. Lee Byung Hun called the wedding the beginning of the second chapter of his life and vowed to set happiness as his ultimate goal.
The next wedding to look forward to is that of Lee Bo Young and Ji Sung. The summer's ceremonies will surely inspire another beautiful event.
