SPIRITUAL MARRIAGE - KOREAN STYLE


I have heard and read of many Chinese spiritual marriages whereby the families of departed souls arrange for their daughters and sons to be married in the afterlife.

Recently I read an article about a spirit marriage between a late South Korean actress and a man who died in 2002.  Hmm ... the Koreans share the same belief about spiritual marriage as well.  

Read the article below for the full story.

Late actress Jung Da Bin gets married in spirit


The parents of the late actress Jung Da Binwho committed suicide four years ago, has revealed that she has gotten married in spirit to a man that died in 2002.
This spiritual marriage was brought together by Jung Da Bin’s mother in hopes of consoling the two in their after life. Jung Da Bin’s husband, Moon Jae Sung, was born in 1975 and died in 2002 from an unknown cause. He was a business major at a college in Daegu, and was described to be smart and morally sound person.
Through E-Daily SPN, Jung Da Bin’s mother revealed, “My son-in-law, Moon Jae Sung, was an extremely nice and caring person. Our families have friends for a while now, and although the two did not know each other, the adults have come together after long discussions in hopes of consoling the two, who left this world unmarried.”
The older brother of Moon commented, “I’m glad that we were able to bring them together like this. I hope that they will be able to live happily together in another world. They left the world too early, and it’s upsetting to me that it isn’t a real wedding, but a spiritual one.”
The ceremony took place on the morning of May 22nd at Kyungki-do, and the two will be buried together at the Utopia Memorial in Ansung.
