Rain And Kim Tae Hee Wedding Cost Revealed

Rain and Kim Tae Hee are South Korea's wealthiest couple to date so the real cost of their wedding ceremony comes as a surprise.

Popstar Rain and actress Kim Tae Hee became the country's wealthiest real-estate owners after they exchanged wedding vows January 19 in a Catholic church in Seoul and kept the ceremony as intimate and private as possible.

According to Koreaboo, SBS' "A Night of Real Entertainment" revealed that the high profile couple chose to keep a low profile when it came to their wedding and only spent 1.3 million KRW or approximately US $1,116.

Kim Tae Hee's friends explained that the "Yong Pal" actress, voted several times as one of the country's most beautiful actresses, chose to wear a self-designed dress because she was acutely aware of the political turmoil the country is currently in.

CEO of Jung Saem Mool, Son Joo Hee, also added that Kim Tae Hee wanted to keep her make up as simple as possible.

Rain, meanwhile, chose to wear an old suit instead of a brand new one.

The secret wedding was attended by about 100 guests including family members and celebrity friends Psy, Park Jin Young, Lee Honey, Ahn Sung Ki, Park Joon Hyung, Kim Tae Woo and Yoon Kye Sang.

Kim Tae Hee released a handwritten letter after the ceremony which said:

"Today is the first day on the long journey we will embark on together, and we wanted to take that first step with the support of all the fans who have loved us and cared for us.

"We will take care of each other, respect each other, and do our best to help each other work on what we lack. With the warmth that I have learned from your overflowing love, I will do my best to repay you as a better actress, and do my best as a wife of a family."

The couple headed to the island of Sumba in Indonesia for their honeymoon.
