I Stood with 5,000 Couples—and Felt the Power of Family All Over Again
Some might call it impossible to organize. I’d call it a miracle in motion.
I had the honor of helping guide the ceremony, and I’ll be honest—standing in front of thousands of newly committed couples, leading them in a chant of “Hold one another’s hand… Saranghae” was unforgettable.
You don’t forget that sound. You don’t forget the love in that room.
💬 This Was More Than a Ceremony
Most of these couples will go on to have private weddings at home. But what happened here in Korea wasn’t about logistics—it was about spirit.
It was about two people saying, “Let’s put God first. Let’s raise a family that serves something bigger than just us.”
And that’s powerful.
👨👩👧👦 Behind the Scenes: Laughter, Cafés, and Hot Dogs
After the blessing, we weren’t done. We hit the streets, the cafés, had meals, and shared laughs. I ran into couples like Shogo and Kyoko, glowing with joy and purpose. It reminded me—this isn’t just spiritual, it’s real life.
Sometimes peace comes after a ceremony.
Sometimes, it comes with a hotdog and your kids in tow.
