The manners and decorum of royal wedding ceremonies were strictly regulated according to state law during the Joseon Dynasty.
When a prince finally chose a wife, regulations for the royal marriage were declared, forbidding all marital matters to be performed until the first of three steps for selecting the princess was completed.
Even royal members had to follow traditional Korean customs. The bridegroom should go to the house of his bride to bring her home after the wedding ceremony. And the secondary or detached palace was used as the venue for the ceremony in place of the relatively small private residence of the bride's family.
