E.so explained that the decision to host two events was a deliberate plan to allow both his wife to have a dream wedding and to ensure all their friends could be included. "One is for the romantic dream, to give my wife memories," he stated. He added that holding the wedding in Taiwan would have involved too many guests, making it difficult to fully enjoy the moment.
