* OneSteveLimit: Subverted. You think a conservative Christian like Mrs. Kim took her husband's last name, but her mother's last name, though presumably not taken from ''her'' husband, is also Kim, and according to Korean tradition Lane would have her father's surname, so whether they kept their family names or not, the whole family is named Kim. Subverted because Kim is the most common Korean family name, so it's not ''completely'' unlikely that they would coincide.



* RuleOfThree: Lane's wedding day is in three segments: one part for the grandmother of the bride, one for the mother of the bride, and one for the bride and groom. Three outfits too.
