Thanks :hug: :lol: I think we ate enough for everyone on the planet. Amazing how many ways there are to prepare kimchi. Someone should author a book similar to 1000 ways to cook chicken and substitute kimchi for chicken.

What I really liked was the sweet red bean paste used as a dipping sauce for bulgogi bbq.

jaa, as you probably know, kimchi is served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I had my fill of kimchi for the next year.

Tony, their wedding attire is traditional and sure looked like royalty to me too, but believe me they are far from royal :)

There was so much to see and do in the brief two weeks we were there. We've got 100's of pictures.

We even received a gift from the brides mother of a bottle of home made medicinal ginseng 'alcohol'. It is as much piece of artwork as it is a bottle of liquor.

Thanks again everyone for all the well wishes. I'm still recovering (and will be for about 8-9 months) from this trip. :)

yea, I know my GF keeps 6-7 jars of kimchi in the fridge at all times. I have been to roughly 8 Korean weddings and they all have worn the traditional dress. Except for the actual exchanging of the vows, then the bride and groom wear what you would see at a typical American wedding.

Was the ceremony in Korean? Did your son need to say anything that translates to "I do"?

The ceremony was totally in Korean, but one of his buddy's was there to translate everything for him. All of the 'I do's' appeared to be actions. Lots of bowing to the bride's mother and to my wife and I. Drinking some type of wine (at least I think it was wine). Exchanging rings. The post ceremony kiss. There were a couple of bound up chickens on the ceremonial table (alive ;) ). It was quite an experience for all of us.

There are so many Korean restaurants right here in the City and NJ where you can get the live octopus and any other Korean food you desire. Anything avaliable there is avaliable here. Nothing beats the Galbi though, still my favorite.

Our favorite local spot has been So Moon Nan Jip in Palisades Park, NJ. Nice authentic Korean food. I highly recommend it.
