Other cool stuff we should know about: I am American, my husband is Irish, we live in South Korea, and we decided to get married in Scotland. Yup, we’re crazy. We had been living in South Korea for almost four years, so it had been that long since we’d seen most of our friends and family. Our main goal was to host a party for our loved ones, with the plan of kicking it off with a wedding. However, arranging everything from Korea was no easy feat! Thanks to some great teamwork (and a lot of whiskey) we managed to pull it all off. We planned everything blindly, and I mean everything! To this day, we still can’t believe how well it all came together. There were so many wonderful details, but I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
One sentence sum up of the wedding vibe: It was a combination of a reunion, a vacation and a wedding, but with less stress and more fun!
Favorite thing about the wedding: Can I say “everything”? No? Fine… it may sound cliche, but our favorite thing was getting to spend time with our loved ones. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful people in our lives, but sadly we don’t get to see them nearly as much as we’d like. While not everyone was able to join us, we were still overwhelmed by the sacrifices that were made to join us. Heck, two of our guest even got their passports for this!
