Ah, the paebaek is not just a photo moment. The deep bows and dates we throw are serious prayers for sons, because a daughter leaves our family name forever. My own mother cried through mine, and now I feel that weight watching my niece marry into a Seoul family who thinks our country customs are quaint. The wedding hall is for her new life; the paebaek is for our ancestors, who matter more than the fancy buffet.
