This Exciting Wedding Academy was organized to foster a rational marriage culture that alleviates financial burdens and to promote a positive perception of marriage. A total of 43 participants, including engaged couples and single men and women, attended the two sessions, demonstrating high interest in the wedding preparation process.

The training was led by a professional wedding planner, who went beyond theory-based lectures and instead provided easy-to-understand explanations of the marriage preparation process, focusing on real-life cases and solutions. This approach resonated strongly with attendees. In particular, the program was evaluated as being genuinely helpful not only for engaged couples planning to get married this year, but also for young people considering marriage in the future.

Following the two-hour main session, there was an additional one-hour Q&A with the instructor, providing participants with a meaningful opportunity to ask questions and communicate about topics they had always been curious about.

A Pyeongtaek City official stated, "We hope this academy provided practical help to engaged couples and single young adults contemplating marriage," adding, "We will continue to strengthen marriage encouragement policies to further promote positive perceptions of marriage and address the low birth rate issue."

Meanwhile, as of the end of December 2025, Pyeongtaek City's crude marriage rate stood at 5.9, ranking fourth in Gyeonggi Province, with a total of 3,555 marriages, showing a steady increase over the past five years.
