Wedding Of The Song-Tury

Who needs K-drama when there’s real life happily-everafter? Drones were flown, tears were shed and the media did everything they could to get in on all the action at SONG JOONG KI and SONG HYE KYO’s private-not-so-private wedding.

Life imitated K-drama when Song Joong Ki, 32, and Song Hye Kyo, 35, tied the knot in a super hushhush ceremony. The Wedding of the Decade (or some say, Century) between the Descendants of the Sun’s stars aimed to be as private and low-key as possible. In the lead-up to the Songs’ big day, deets were shrouded in secrecy. The couple’s agencies also issued a statement on the four no-nos during the Songs’ wedding: No press con, no photography, no photo wall and no interviews. In fact, a tent had originally been set up to deter the media from taking photos. But after furious protest from the local press, that plan was axed and the wedding saw the light of day, quite literally.

The Songs, who reportedly splashed 70mil won (S$85,700) on the nuptials, had turned down all â€‹sponsorship offers. Only about 300 close friends and family members were invited to the intimate affair. Of course, the private and low-key event was anything but private and low-key.
