Downtown
Lucky man
Hearts, flowers, and champagne bubbles to Bill Egbert, our very own deputy editor, and his lovely bride Yeon ji Wu. The blissful newlyweds were married on May 25 in Seoul, South Korea, at the Westin Chosun wedding hall, overlooking the historic Wongudan Altar — the very same site where Korea’s ancient kings performed the time-honored Confucian Rite of Heaven.
Bill told Standing O that his lovely bride wanted the site for their nuptials because of its association with good fortune.
“It is the luckiest place in Korea to get married,” he said. “I can confirm that — I am, indeed, a very lucky man.”
It has been a whirlwind season of weddings here in the Courier editorial department, and we wish Bill and Yeon the very best of luck.
The lovebirds are “urin chon-saeng-yon-buniya” (a match made in heaven), says Standing O!
Congratulations and happiness to them!
