“The way Yuan Jin proposed was hilarious. I found the engagement ring in its box by accident. He’d left it in my wardrobe.
As soon as he’d realised this, he dropped on one knee by the side of the bed and popped the question while holding a vase of flowers!” shares Pei Mei.
“We wanted to spend quality time with our close friends and family so we kept our wedding casual. The solemnisation ceremony was followed by a buffet dinner at Una at One Rochester.” says the couple.
“We were out recceing venues and the moment we got to UNA, we were blown away.”
Their welcome sign.
“To complement the ambience, we went with a dreamy garden theme, with flowing fairy lights and other whimsical touches, like birdcages and vases of baby’s breath and roses.”
Guests dined on long tables.
The bride thoughtfully prepared a kids’ corner with colouring materials and sweets.
Pei Mei had a friend design the photo frame prop.
“Our page boy turned out to be too young for his role. So we went ahead with just the flower girl, who quickly found a new friend at the wedding,” says Pei Mei.
“Walking down the aisle, I was so overwhelmed with emotion, I could barely tell who was sitting where. Then I saw Yuan Jin, standing at the end of the aisle with a silly smile on his face.”
“He vowed to love and take care of me forever. This was especially touching to me as it was said in front of our friends and family,” adds the bride.
“That day, I realised how truly lucky I was to have this wonderful woman as my life partner,” says Yuan Jin.
“Before I even had a theme, I knew I wanted the colours blush and white,” says Pei Mei.
“The post-wedding blues hit me that same night as I wished I had spent less time changing into my three gowns, and more time with my guests,” shares the bride.
“We were glad for the chance to tell the people in our lives how much we appreciated them,” says Pei Mei
