Kim Dong Wook's wife Stella shares heartwarming post along with wedding photos

In August, actor Kim Dong Wook exchanged vows with his non-celebrity girlfriend Stella in an intimate ceremony in Seoul on December 22. There are wedding photos on social media which have gone viral, revealing the identity of his wife, and confirming she is a trainee at SM Entertainment. In the caption, Stella shared a touching post expressing the warmth and depth of her relationship with Kim Dong Wook. Sharing photos from their wedding, Stella wrote, “I am both an idealist and a skeptic when it comes to love, but mostly the latter; and so, I was never one for public displays of affection. I am a wide-open book when it comes to the sharing of my thoughts, but I was always relatively private with love because it bears a lot of weight. And so much of that weight I had never come to terms with to be able to put into words.”

The post continued, "But when I met this man, I found not only my skepticism but also my ideals getting swept under the rug. Upon sharing my first stories about him with my closest, there were so many tears (that, for once, didn’t come from me but came from them) of what I interpreted to be a mix of joy and relief when they heard me say that he makes me happy. I didn’t realize I had never once said that until then, and I suppose it’s because happiness too carries so much weight. It’s as if I had semi-banned it from my vocabulary to avoid bastardizing it.

But here I am living through what feels like one of the toughest years of me, still allowing myself to say that, yes, I am happy; and although with nuances, this feels steady. This happiness is still careful, but it is so, so precious in the way it exists and takes up space in me. Although I am small, my heart is large for my size.

Within all my lives and identities, he finds the purest, most youthful version of me to hold closely. And through our stark differences, his impatience & stubbornness, and his peculiar ways of moving through the world, I find the most endearing and lovable boy.

And so here is too soon and too forever. I promise to bear all the weight of our hearts. I carry your heart with me."
