favors-- finally

keeping with korean tradition, these are my favors... significance?

Two Korean wedding traditions involve birds that mate for life: ducks and geese. Korean grooms used to travel to the homes of their brides on the back of a white pony, bearing a goose, which symbolizes fidelity. Nowadays, they use symbolic wooden geese. In another tradition, a pair of wooden ducks, one symbolizing the bride and the other the groom, can indicate whether couples are happy or at odds. After the wedding each spouse places one of the ducks somewhere in their house. If the ducks face nose to nose, the couple is getting along. If they are tail to tail, the couple is believed to be fighting.

argh i tried to post the pic twice, here's the link to what the ducks will look like... what do you guys think?

I love it! Its a cute way to have your traditions in the wedding! I would suggest a pretty tag explaining the tradition to attach to each one, maybe?
