Before the wedding, Kim visited a temple with his wife and children to pay respects to his parents. He shared, "In a dream, my mother was massaging my feet. It's been about a week, and I miss her more. I felt I needed to express what I've held in my heart before the wedding."
Hyun Eun-jae recalled her early relationship with Kim in 2006, saying she got along well with his mother. "I thought I should treat his parents well because I liked him. When he was very busy, his father was in the hospital," she remembered. Kim added, "At that time, my father was in stage 4 colon cancer and also had dementia."
Hyun Eun-jae took care of her father-in-law and also looked after her mother-in-law. Kim expressed his gratitude, saying, "There's no better way to describe her than as a savior." Hyun Eun-jae humbly replied, "I just did what I could because it felt right."

During their vows, Kim Byung-man said, "It took a long time. You lifted me from a deep despair I couldn't escape alone. It seems the past was a process to regain happiness. You, Jjang-i, and Ddok-i, who have become my saviors, are my happiness. I promise to be a reliable husband and cherish you." Reuniting with Kim after 16 years, Hyun Eun-jae vowed, "I'm grateful for the ordinary days we can spend together. I'll be your strongest supporter."
