Pyebaek is Korean wedding custom that is traditionally held a few days after the official ceremony, with only family members present. During the ceremony, the bride presents the groom's parent of soju. Finally they will throw the dates and chestnuts back at the bride, who has to try catching them with her wedding skirt. The bride may also receive gifts of money in white envelopes.

Modern Korean weddings have incorporated the Pyebaek ceremony after the reception The original Pyebaek was exclusives for the groom's side of the family to be introduced to the new family member, the bride. In current day Korean weddings, they have also allowed for the Pyebaek ceremony to be with the brides side of the family also.
