An Estonian resident named Mai has married at Gyeongbokgung Palace in Korea, the same place where she first wore a hanbok, the traditional Korean dress, ten years earlier. The story was reported by an Estonian outlet and picked up in Latvia by the TVNET portal.

Standing in the palace courtyard back then, she had no idea that a decade later she would return to the same spot as a bride. Korea's first lady, the spouse of the country's leader, came to her wedding.

The headline quotes Mai as saying: "I can't believe this is happening to me."

The available excerpt of the source is brief, so other details, such as how the couple met, how the ceremony went or who else attended, are not included in this summary.
