“I was over the moon that the wedding was essentially a huge dinner party where all my loved ones had gathered to celebrate our love!” “Weddings truly are all about love. I adored witnessing the little romantic moments between our parents, who held hands and looked at each other fondly throughout the day.”…

We met at my friend’s birthday party in 2007 and started dating shortly afterwards. We’re both very easy-going, adventurous and love to travel so we moved from Sydney to Singapore two years ago and found that we really love it here. Calvin proposed to me at the rooftop garden in our condo complex, which he’d transformed into a sort of enchanted forest. The whole area was filled with rose petals, candles, white roses in vases and fairy lights. There was even a guitarist who started singing as soon as I got there. It was so beautiful. I was extremely surprised and happy because Calvin isn’t usually a romantic guy! Because we had a destination wedding, we decided to have a travel theme. We wanted to celebrate the many years Calvin…

I used to own a restaurant here and would travel to Vietnam regularly to source for seafood. During one of those trips, I was introduced to Nik, who is Vietnamese, and was in university in Ho Chi Minh at the time. We met over a casual dinner with some local friends and felt a connection instantly. A few months after we started dating, my business venture failed and I went through the darkest period of my life. Nik stood by me without a single complaint. That was when I knew that she was the one for me. We wanted our wedding to be grand yet warm and light-hearted, and to be filled with people we care about. I made it a point to visit every table well before the photo-taking…

We met at a surprise farewell party for a mutual friend. With some nudging from my friend, I made the first move and messaged Joel on Instagram, and that’s how our story started. He proposed in Iceland. He’d joined me for a morning walk and we’d decided to stop and rest on a bench. He said he’d get me a cup of tea and came back with tea and a ring. I was so shocked, I forgot to say “yes”. Joel was on his knees in the cold for nearly five minutes! From the beginning, we knew we wanted to get married outdoors. Not fans of the rustic theme, we chose to go with something timeless, romantic and elegant. The wedding day was filled with gorgeous pink hues accented by…

DAZZLINGLY DELIGHTFUL Think of Cartier and immediately the mind goes to gorgeous, cherished pieces that will last a lifetime – and, of course, the brand’s legacy of honouring the eternal beauty of precious jewels by crafting scintillating creations such as the Rhythmic Necklace from the Resonances de Cartier Collection of high jewels. A gleaming trail of perfectly-proportioned diamonds set into platinum V shapes fan out from the central kite-shape with a centrepiece that can be detached and worn as a brooch. The equally stunning treasure above is the Etourdissant Romanov platinum bracelet with a 197.80ct cushion-shaped, rose-cut sapphire from Ceylon, and brilliant diamonds. The sapphire can be replaced with a carved rock crystal. DRESS CODE: BLACK-TIE Brides with a shoe addiction will love the latest Jimmy Choo-Net-a-Porter collab that features…

We were introduced by a mutual friend. The first time we met was over dinner at a Japanese restaurant. We developed a mutual understanding of each other, and over time we realised how complementary our different characteristics were. Somehow, everything just fell nicely into place afterwards. Our celebration was filled with joy, laughter and camaraderie. Many of our loved ones only get together once a year during Chinese New Year, so we wanted to provide a bright and dazzling atmosphere for everyone to revel in our wedding. We also wanted Leon’s grandmother to have a good time with her family. Moreover, we wished to incorporate some Indonesian wedding customs in respect of Audrey’s roots. Our parents and immediate relatives participated in the first march-in to honour them, and there was…

“We chose Da Nang because, with its cultural and Unesco World Heritage sites, we knew it would be an enriching, memorable experience for everyone.” Ours was a serendipitous encounter through Linkedin, when Derek was looking to network and expand his base of professional connections. It just so happened that I was available for coffee. One thing led to another and before we both knew it, we were in love. He proposed to me at Capella Singapore. Before sitting down to dinner at Cassia, we walked around a bit. When we got to the library, Derek got down on one knee and whipped out the diamond ring with a flourish. I was beaming like a Cheshire cat! We had two classic and chic wedding celebrations – one in Singapore, and the…

What are you working on? I am currently filming Mind Eyes, an August Pictures’ drama that should be completed by mid-October. Right after that, I am off to Malaysia for three months to film a new Mediacorp Channel 8 drama. So what do you do in Mind Eyes? I play a detective who can predict events with the sense of smell. Being able to act out this attribute with all the emotions that define it is important. I take all my roles very seriously, so for Mind Eyes, I suggested adding a special effect every time this ‘power’ asserts itself to the director. Driver, a new drama you’re starring in is already on Toggle and will soon be on Channel 8, too. Tell us about it. I actually had two…
