Rooted in Korean heritage, the Paebaek centered on reverence and blessing—parents seated before the couple as tea was served, chestnuts and dates tossed to symbolize fertility and prosperity, and moments of laughter woven into rituals like the playful “who wears the pants” and displays of strength. The intimacy of this ceremony allowed space for emotion and reflection, setting a grounding tone before the couple transitioned into a private family dinner nearby.

The second day marked the full wedding celebration, beginning with a calm morning at Sunstone Villa as the property transformed around the couple. Hair and makeup unfolded in the kitchen and villa spaces while florals, rentals, and lighting were installed across the vineyards and courtyard.

The groom and groomsmen arrived from The Landsby, while the bride stepped into her gown onsite, surrounded by close friends and family.

Glow sticks were passed, music shifted to reflect the younger crowd, and the sense of community built steadily until the final song played in a circle of guests surrounding the couple. The celebration concluded not as a single event, but as the culmination of two days of intention—honoring heritage, family bonds, and the joy of gathering in a place as timeless and welcoming as Sunstone Villa
