혼례는 인류가 시작되면서부터 가장 중요한 의식으로 여겼고, 각 민족의 오랜 전통으로 계승되어 현재까지 이어져오고 있다. 혼인의례는 인간이 한생을 살면서 치르는 의례 중 가장 큰 의식으로 혼인대례(婚姻大禮)라고 한다. 혼례는 몇 십 년 동안 서로 다른 환경에서 살아온 두 남녀가 합쳐 가정을 이루고, 자식을 낳아 인류의 번영을 이루는 것으로, 우리 인간에게 생애 가장 중요한 전환점이자, 인간만이 행하는 의식이라고 할 수 있다. 혼례는 단순히 두 남녀의 결합이 아니라 집안과 집안의 만남, 서로 다른 가풍과 가풍의 만남, 그리고 남과 여라는 음(陰)과 양(陽)의 조화이다. 이렇듯 작게는 남녀 개개인에서 크게는 집안, 문화의 만남으로 이루어지는 것이 혼례이다. 따라서 혼례를 치를 때 갖추는 예는 단순한 형식에 머무는 것이 아니라 몸과 마음을 다해 배우자와 배우자 집안 어른들에게 올리는 정성이라고 할 수 있다. 이처럼 혼례는 한 인간과 한 집안에서 가장 큰 경사인 셈이다. 새로 사람을 맞아 가족으로 받아 들이는 것만큼 중요하고 경사스러운 일도 없을 것이다. 신랑과 신부가 가족, 친지, 지인들이 모인 자리에서 서약을 맺고, 이들에게 따뜻한 축복을 받는다는 것은 일생 최대의 행복이다.

The Kut is the core of the traditional folk religion. The afterlife wedding Kut actually performs a traditional wedding ceremony by personifying the deceased in the process of performing the composition of Kut geori that cannot be observed from other Kuts, which is an important means to convey the situation of Kut more clearly. A traditional wedding ceremony performed in the Kut enables the audience to understand the meaning behind the Kut. The costume worn in the traditional wedding ceremony of the afterlife wedding Kut makes the audience understand the existence of the deceased by the use of a scarecrow dialect and makes them feel a vivid sense of the scene emitting from the Kut, which performs a traditional wedding ceremony in the composition of Kut geori. The results of this study showed that a shaman who led the afterlife wedding Kut had a scarecrow that symbolized the bride and a bridegroom wear the traditional wedding costume in order to visualize the deceased and express the symbol of a wedding which could not be made in this world. It can be interpreted that the traditional costume derived from the afterlife wedding Kut plays a symbolic role, which converts the deceased into a living person through the formal aspect of ceremonial costume and the cultural aspect of wedding ceremony.

The knowledge on Korean traditional ceremony foods was evaluated from 271 Korean American housewives residing in the New York and New Jersey metropolitan area. A questionnaire was designed to collect information on demographic background of the subject and their knowledge on ceremonial foods and table settings. Over half of the respondents considered table settings for ceremonial foods are important and most of them knew and learned Korean ceremonial foods from either their own mothers or mother-in-laws. About three-quarters responded that traditional table settings need to be simplified and half of them stated that family education is the best way of proceeding knowledge on ceremonial foods. Most of them have knowledge of table settings for a child's birthday, a baby's first birthday, a baby's hundredth day after birth, New Year's and full moon days. However, few respondents were knowledgable about other ceremonial foods. Practically, they are more likely to simplify the table setting for Korean traditional ceremonies, such as child's birthday, 60th birthday, wedding, and memorial days. The results of this study could be used to plan traditional cultural education programs for Korean immigrants in the U.S. so that they can make informed decisions in building cultural identities in the new environment.
