The extended Level 2.5 social distancing rules, which have been put in the capital area since the end of last year due to the third wave of the pandemic, are reshaping wedding scenes in South Korea.
Some are preparing their weddings in two parts, which enables to avoid postponement and invite as much guests as possible. Since such type of wedding ceremony usually takes twice as long as traditional ones, it is only possible if there is no wedding ceremony arranged for the next couple of hours. Besides, you have to pay more for the wedding depending on the situation.
