Ulsan Ulju-gun Holds Series of 'Happy First Steps, Small Weddings'

Free Venue Rental and Wedding Cost Support ... Improving High-Cost Wedding Culture

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Ulju-gun, Ulsan City, has been hosting a series of "Happy First Step, Small Weddings" to ease the financial burden of marriage costs for engaged couples.

Following the first small wedding held on the 23rd at Songjeong Park in Seosaeng-myeon, Ulju-gun, the second "Wedding March" echoed on the 24th at the Ulju-gun Office Citizen Square.

The two couples who held their weddings this time said they applied to have a small wedding with only family attending, utilizing the local outdoor parks.

An official from the county said, "We hope this will be the happiest day of their lives for newlyweds who had many concerns preparing for their weddings due to COVID-19," adding, "We hope that small weddings will improve the high-cost wedding culture and establish a true meaning of marriage culture."

Ulju-gun has been implementing the "Happy First Step, Small Weddings" project for three years, providing engaged couples residing in the area with free rental of wedding venues (such as public institutions), as well as support for venue decoration, formal wear, hair, and makeup within a budget of 3 million won.
