South Korea / 2014 / Color / 94mins

What is extraordinary is that Kim Jho Gwang-soo and Dave Kim's wedding is the first of its kind in a country that does not recognize same-sex marriages. Romantically involved since 2004, they document the plans for their wedding and the big event itself. Just like every other couple, they are overwhelmed with the guest list, decisions on the proper outfits, and rehearsals for the song and dance routine. But, unlike their heterosexual counterparts, they must face plenty of opposition from the conservatives protesting the wedding. This documentary is an engaging diary on coming out, loving openly, and living proudly.
