	The Words of Joy Garrat
		Thirty-six thousand couples, in traditional bridal gowns and dark suits., exchanged marriage vows in Seoul's Olympic Stadium, which was soaked by three days of torrential rains that had caused the Han River to flow over its banks and inundate many streets of the Korean capital.
		The couples paid their own way to Seoul, and were expected to contribute to defraying the cost of the ceremony, with assessments ranging from $500 per person in Latin America to $2,000 in North America to $29,000 in Japan, where, church spokesmen note pointedly, middle-class couples often spend $100,000 on their weddings.
		The Seoul ceremony was part of the World Culture and Sports Festival, a week of international conferences on religious, civic and political topics.
