CLUMSY'S COMMENT
Mokahn is an important emblem used in traditional Korean wedding ceremonies. Meaning “goose made of wood”, Korean people believed that once a male and female geese formed a bond, they would not meet another mate for the rest of their lives, and would stay together until death does them part. The groom would take the mokahn to the bride’s home, and the individual who carries the mokahn is called the gireuk abi, or “goose holder”. In Jeonanjirye (奠雁之禮), a part of the wedding tradition, the groom used it as a token of his vow of unwavering loyalty.
