It's officially June and thus, wedding season. I thought I should include a wedding-themed Teach Me Something Tuesday. One of the things that we want to buy when we are in Korea is a set of wedding ducks. Well, we'll probably buy 4 sets: one for us, one for Zoe and one set for each of our boys. We are excited to fully-embrace Zoe's Korean culture and keep up some of the Korean traditions for our family.
So, let's talk, wedding ducks. The Korean wedding ducks are the most popular wedding favors and have a special meaning. They represent the bride and the groom and after the wedding, they are placed somewhere in the couples house and their position tells of the couples marital state. Nose to nose means the relationship is good, tail to tail means they are probably having a tiff.
I can't wait to find the perfect place in our home for our wedding ducks and I'll save the kids for them when they are older and give them to them on their wedding days.
traditionally, they are supposed to be on your mantle. ours are proudly on the mantle and facing nose to nose!
