From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pyebaek is a Korean wedding custom that is traditionally held a few days after the official ceremony, with only family members present.[1] During the ceremony, the bride presents the groom's parents with dates and chestnuts, which symbolise children. The parents will then give the bride a present of soju. Finally they will throw the dates and chestnuts back at the bride, who has to try catching them with her wedding skirt.
In the United States, this ritual is held a few days before the ceremony. The bride may also receive gifts of money in white envelopes.[2]
