On why they had a big wedding even after he said he’s not a fan of big weddings, Banky Wreferenced his Instagram post where he addressed the issue saying:
“First of all, you learn very quickly that you are not just marrying a person but a family. So what the person’s family and your family want also matters in a relationship. Your happiness is also tied to the happiness of your loved ones.”
