2. [+395, -14] Wowww it's the imperial wedding is literally next week, the whole world is reporting on it.

3. [+37, -6] I think it marks a big sign of change for such a conservative family to accept a divorcee..

4. [+21, -2] Congratulations ^^I really wish Ji Eun is okay after all she will become an empress and the whole world has their eyes on her.

5. [+20, -0] This is a real cinderella story, she went from being a commoner to an empress

6. [+16, -3] I am so exciteeeed!!!!

7. [+11, -4] A real life modern Cinderella story

8. [+7, -1] She's talented ㅋㅋㅋ there are so many in the world who can barely make it to the altar and yet she's managed to overcome being a divorcee and a single mother and made it to the altar of the royal family ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I guess there are really are fairy tale stories like Miranda Kerr and her in the world. Lives like this must be something you're destined for, or born with... amazing.

9. [+6, -9] People keep bringing up her divorce but is that a crime?? Are divorcees never allowed to get married again? So hopeless to see barbaric and conservative oldies hung up over it

Everyone was extremely nervous for this day but no one could be more nervous than Yang, he had been waiting for a marriage like this his whole life, his first was an utter disaster that ended in a tragedy. His happy reflection starred right back at him making him recall the miserable state he was in last time when he marrying the late empress.

All of the royal guests and celebrities made their way inside the castle one by one, reporters were allowed inside to recorded the most hyped event of the whole year moment by moment while drones were capturing the whole ceremony from above. It was announced that this day would be a national holiday so the people were all at home glued to their televisions waiting for the ceremony to take off.

Yoon looked up from his phone as his older brother was pacing back and fourth inside the room which reminded him of his own self six years ago when he was marrying the love of his life and currently soon to be mother of his kids.
