Reception

Our Wedding

It all started with a swipe and a “hey”. Our two worlds collided. We managed to sneak in our first date at a local café serving bougie brunch. We quickly learned that we both loved coffee, phew! - that may have been a deal breaker. We also learned that whilst we grew up in opposite ends of the world and culture, we shared many values and similar upbringings. We ended our first date with a hug before awkwardly parting ways at the Eastland carpark. But for once, our hearts felt hopeful. We truly felt like this person could be it. This person was different. We wanted to do this again. We were hopeful and happy. We were hopefully and happy…before plunging into the world’s longest lockdown with a 5km travel radius put in place. We were 6kms apart. Needless to say, with many rule breaking and mundane date nights at home, we somehow never stopped falling in love.

Covid Was Our Cupid

Our Story

Photos

My brother from another mother. My best mate since childhood.   The Guy who has had my back since day one. Our friendship has survived multiple battles on the basketball court and video games. 

David Battaglia

“Maid” for the day but Queen of my life, my big sister, my anchor, my protector. 

Delia Yeak

The bestie who knows all my dirtiest secrets, who navigated through adulthood with me and helped make all my crazy decisions. 

Rachel Cheok

My ride or die, my womb babies. From seeing each other almost literally every single day of our lives, to now being oceans apart, our friendship knows no boundaries. 


Claire Aw and Amanda Hong

Another brother from another mother and brother of David Battaglia ( The best man). If it was a movie, coffee or just a chat Steve was always up for hanging out. He's like a big brother

Joshua McMullen 

My big brother(my actual brother).  We met at birth so we know each others dark past.  Still the funniest person I've ever met and my IT support Guy.
