The duck is carried to the new home of the bridal pair and is displayed where they can easily see it. If the couple quarrels, one will point to the duck, which reminds them of the peaceful wedding, and will stop fighting. Traditional Korean weddings always include a pair of Korean wedding ducks. Mandarin ducks mate for life, are revered by the Koreans as symbols of loyalty and fidelity in a marriage. After the marriage, the wedding ducks are placed in the home of the newlyweds, if the ducks are facing each other, nose-to-nose, then the marriage is happy. If the ducks are facing away from each other, tail-to-tail, then the couple is fighting.
