 The origin and changes of wedding ceremony
 

In the past wedding ceremony the performing wedding ceremony in the night was an etiquette. According to Daedaelyh, The Guanhon is a begining of mankind. It means that the wedding is a origin of morality. According to "Gongjagauh" when ice thaws, an agriculture and sericulture has begun and when they get married, the man's work starts. Therefor it seems that the marriage institution has begun before the present era.

 Compare the transitions of the marriage institutions in Korea, there was a monogamy in Booyu and a purchased marriage in Okju. In Kogoolyh, the bridegroom builds a little house in backyard of bride's house and lived there. Until their children become mature he takes his wife and children back to his house. It seems like an inherited qualities of a matrilineal society. But in Chosun they considered the family ties more important than the relationship in a man and a women

After the Chosun period passed, they started performing a new wedding ceremony which came in with the Western civilization. Even though they performed a traditional wedding ceremony, it is easier than before.
