WHAT IS THE PYEBAEK?

Traditional Korean wedding ceremony has a unique and special event called Pyebaek.  Pyebaek is a well-known Korean wedding custom and it was one of must-do things in traditional Korean wedding culture. Pyebaek was one significant meaning of symbolizing the bride's transition from her own family and single life to the groom' family and marriage life. Originally the bride and groom perform the bow ceremony to only groom's parents and in-law families so traditional way of Pyebaek was only with family members and no guests' presence. It is unclear when this has entered and incorporated the modern and western style wedding process.

Traditional Pyebaek wedding ceremony in the in Modern Korean Wedding

Nowadays Pyabaek ceremony procedure and its meaning are changing to informal styles. It is now one of special event options, not mandatory procedure in modern Korean wedding culture. Even if there are still tradition and custom matters but in current days pyebaek  ceremony is more for style, event, and fun party so both of families and guests are enjoying to see this unique Korean tradition. Now it was developed to many different styles and simple ways in preparation food, and procedure. Koreans tend to have small traditional ceremony right after the western style wedding ceremony.

Bride's family and guests are participating as receiving bow or watching to enjoy the ceremony. It is like to be invited into Korean history and culture. It can be a very exciting and fun ceremony for all wedding parties of bride and groom, bride's families, in-law families and guests, especially when the wedding parties are destination weddings, multi nationality couple and families.  It is a respectable and meaningful way to incorporate Korean culture and it makes a fun event in American weddings. Because of so many special aspects of meaning, culture, dresses, and procedures, Pyebaek events make the wedding ceremonies meaningful, unique and interesting.

How to do?

Pyebaek held after wedding ceremony and it takes about 30 minutes. Bride and bride family prepare two pyebaek tables with jujubes, chestnuts, traditional snacks, beef jerky, and wedding cuck in a big table and Cheongju(known as refined rice wine)with tea kettle and cups on a small table. The wedding duck symbolize the sacred promise of a wedding ceremony for the 100th anniversary. This is a peculiar procedure.  Originally stacked jujubes is for serving to the bride's father in law and chicken is for serving to the bride's mother in law, Gujeol-pan (nine-sectioned plate), wine. The main pyebaek table will be positioned between groom’s parents and newlyweds.

After the parents seated, newlyweds make a deep bow to the parents and the parents throw some jujubes and chestnuts to bride's long embroidered apron. Bride catches them with her apron and that means a symbol of fertility into it.  At the same time, the parents wish the couple's happiness and good luck for their new life start. Even if grandparents and grandmothers of a married couple are alive, the first bow should be given to the parents. Then, in order of age and generation and it continues to go on to family members. In order to celebrate the new person, the family members give gifts(usually money) or throw dates and chestnuts on bride skirts or apron.

Pyebaek Food

Originally, Basic Pyebaek foods are chestnuts, jujube, beef jerky, chicken, and Gujeol-pan(Platter of Nine Delicacies). The chestnuts and jujubes are for father-in-law and the pheasant and beef jerky are for mother-in-law. But beef jerky can be served itself instead of chicken. If one of the parents-in-law cannot participate in Pyebaek, the related foods should be excluded. Each food item on the pyebaek table has a very special meaning and message to the bride and groom to wish being a perfect and happy family. All of these are from original and traditional procedures but in current days, pyebaek ceremony is being changed to modern ways in simple procedures, replacing replica food and celebrating with the brides side of the family and wedding guests.
