Picture of the Day: Foreign Couple Marry In Traditional Korean Style

Curt Olson, chief executive of ING Life Insurance Korea, gets married at a traditional Korean wedding at Korea House last Saturday. The 55-year-old assumed his position in Korea in April 2008 after spending more than three decades in the company’s U.S. headquarters, where he met his bride, Eileen Taylor. The couple, who had another wedding ceremony in Miami earlier this month, said they would live in a hanok, a traditional house, in Seongbuk-dong, downtown Seoul, where Olson has been living since last year.

    "I want to see Koreans dressed up in American Revolutionary War attire."

    I would prefer Pilgrim attire, or mid-1800's pioneer attire.

    Just dress them like the Amish and it'll be close enough.

    I figured there must be a Korean cowboy somewhere.

    Never Google Image "Asian cowboy" with Safe Search off.

    There are just some things you can't un-see.

    Actually SFW.

    Same place I got married. In fact, he's probably wearing the same outfit I did as well.
