It is a long-standing tradition in many cultures around the world for men to not see their spouses in their wedding gowns until after the bride has approached them down the aisle.

Some communities have a custom that states it is unlucky for a couple to meet on the day of the event unless they are already taking part in the ceremony,

according to the website Wedgewood Weddings. They act in this way because they think it will bring them bad luck.

This misconception’s roots can be found in the custom of arranged marriages, claims Today’s Bride.

When a prospective husband meets their child before the wedding, the parents of those ladies worry that their loyal daughter may leave them. They thought there was a chance of this happening.

The only people who still observe this tradition are the superstitious, as most people have long since forgotten about it due to today’s standards.

In the United States, a bride named Rachel Kwon made the decision to adhere to her traditional customs

instead of the prevailing trend among some American couples, which is to avoid meeting each other before to marriage.

A video that was posted to the bride’s YouTube channel in October 2022 claims that she dressed for the formal event with a big veil,

long white gloves, and a white halterneck dress that looked like it was made of silk.She wore her hair in a tidy bun and applied very little makeup, keeping the rest of her look simple.

Many were perplexed when she was being carried to the wedding location since it seemed like she had fabric covering her and an umbrella piece on top of her.

Her primary motivation for doing this was to avoid having her then-future husband and guests notice her appearance before she said ‘I do’ at the altar.

Kwon created the ‘contraption’ herself, based on the video footage she provided with her hundreds of thousands of fans on her channel in October 2022.

The transcript of the film features her statement, ‘I made this contraption so my husband and guests wouldn’t see me before I walked down the aisle.’

The stunning bride, who recently got married to her Korean partner, talked about other facets of her creation in the article’s comments section.

She emphasized that, despite having to walk past multiple individuals prior to the ceremony, she didn’t do it ‘for dramatic effect,’

but rather because she wanted to have a ‘reveal’ for her ‘man.’ Before the wedding, she mentioned that she had to pass past a number of guests.

Kwon wrote, ‘In Korea, the groom and all guests take photos with the bride before the wedding,’
drawing attention to the fact that South Korean wedding

traditions differ from American ones. totally at odds with American tradition, which maintains that it brings ‘bad luck.’

In a TikTok post, Kwon disclosed that she paid $200 for the garment at a vintage shop in her native New Orleans before

shipping it to South Korea. The fact that Kwon was attending the ceremony in a simple attire astonished a lot of people.

She admitted, regretfully, that some people were offended by her fashion choices because most Korean brides choose

for extravagant wedding dresses; nevertheless, she defended herself by stating that she liked the ‘classic look.’

The couple looked happy in the videos that she posted on social media and shared with her followers, so it would appear that the announcement was well worth the wait.

Kwon wasn’t the only wife who surprised her husband at the celebration with her appearance—her partner also astounded him with a special dance performance that he and his pals had planned.
