Phan Hien's grandmother said that Khanh Thi and Phan Hien have lived with their extended family for many years. During that time, she was happy because there were always many people helping with housework and she never had to do the dishes or sweep the floor. Living in the same house, her grandmother witnessed the conflict between Khanh Thi and Phan Hien many times and was always the one to stand up for her daughter-in-law and advise her grandson. She was very happy to witness the wedding of the two grandchildren because Khanh Thi finally had a status to keep her husband.
"Our family does not accept abandoning a wife or husband. This ceremony means that Khanh Thi will be my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law for life, unless she doesn't like it. I really hope Khanh Thi's family can feel secure in entrusting their daughter because I am here to support her," Phan Hien's grandmother sent a message to her in-laws.
The husband's parents also gave gifts and wished Khanh Thi - Phan Hien a hundred years of happiness in the presence of the extended family.

Hearing the speech of Phan Hien’s grandmother, Khanh Thi burst into tears. The dancesport champion sometimes sobbed out loud. In addition to congratulations, Khanh Thi also received many wedding gifts including gold and cash from her husband’s family.
Before giving his wife the diamond ring to make Khanh Thi the daughter-in-law of the family, Phan Hien said: "We have known each other for a long time, gone through many ups and downs. You told me many times that you needed a wedding and we planned many times. Today it has come true." Phan Hien said he could not be happier when both families were present to witness the wedding ceremony of the couple.
Responding to her husband's words with sobs, Khanh Thi said: "Really, I don't believe this is true. Living with you and your family is already a blessing to me. Today, you took me home to be my daughter-in-law and I get to wear a wedding dress. I love you." Seeing her daughter-in-law crying too much, her grandmother Phan Hien reminded her: "Come on, hold back your emotions for the sake of the party."
Khanh Thi has been living with Phan Hien and his family since giving birth to Kubi. Over the years, the couple had planned to get married many times but failed. After the success at SEA Games 31, Phan Hien decided to get married so that Khanh Thi could have a status and make up for her sacrifices for her family.
After this engagement and wedding ceremony, Khanh Thi - Phan Hien will hold a wedding ceremony at a church and a reception at a luxurious wedding center.
Khanh Thi was born in 1982, Phan Hien was born in 1993. Khanh Thi was the one who taught Phan Hien his first dance steps and once commented that he was her excellent student.
In 2009, after breaking up with Chi Anh, Khanh Thi was forced to find a new dance partner and decided to "pair up" with student Phan Hien. Their love blossomed from there. Moving from a teacher-student relationship to lovers, Khanh Thi faced many challenges, including her family's opposition.
They broke up and got back together many times before Khanh Thi unexpectedly got pregnant with Kubi. Their marriage had many ups and downs before reaching its current happy state. Since being with Khanh Thi, Phan Hien's career has also flourished, continuously reaching new heights at the SEA Games and international competitions.
