Reception

Welcome

Welcome family and friends to our wedding website! It is with great pleasure to announce that Jonathan&nbsp;and I will be having our wedding on August 10th, 2019 at Bond University, Gold Coast&nbsp;and would love for all of you to join us!&nbsp;

Our story began back in 2012, where we met through mutual friends at the infamous Memory International Dance Party, in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. After our first date of bubble tea 3 days later - and finding out it was the very first time Jon had ever tried it - it was obvious&nbsp;that there were&nbsp;many things I had to introduce to him, and thus our &nbsp;relationship took off straight away and here we are today! 



The love and support we have been showered with as a couple every day leading up to this&nbsp;moment,&nbsp;tells us that this day will without a doubt be the best day of our lives. Not just to start our new adventure in love as husband and wife, but also to have all the people we care about and love the most together in the one place.





We can't wait to share our journey with you. The future Mrs Kwok&nbsp; X

Attire for the day

"What to wear when the dress code says cocktail..?"

So not a big deal, but I am definitely someone who likes to know these things - so if you're like me, this is for your benefit! Although August is during winter, the days are still warm (lucky Gold Coast!). So suit up men, and ladies wear your best dress, long or short&nbsp;(just make sure to bring a cardigan for the night!)&nbsp; The ceremony will take place on the ornamental lawns under the beautiful sun followed by&nbsp;a two hour cocktail and canapes break inside the Uni Club (as pictured). The reception will be held in the Princeton room where you can warm up with drinks, and of course, dancing!!&nbsp;

Bond University is only a short 10mins drive from Broadbeach and is easily accessible by bus or taxi! Drop offs and pick ups&nbsp;can we done at the main roundabout,&nbsp;followed by&nbsp;a quick stroll to the ornamental lawns down by the lake under the arch.&nbsp;

About Us

​Q: Where/How did Jonathan propose?

Maui, Hawaii Island! We were up at 3am watching the sunrise on the summit of Mt Haleakala during our trip to Hawaii in June 2018. 'Unfortunately', I found the ring the morning of our trip, so it was all well planned out..

Q: What was your most memorable date?

Monique:&nbsp;When we were travelling around Europe with friends back in 2013, we stumbled across an abandoned cafe in Santorini and decided to have a spontaneous lunch date.&nbsp;

 Jonathan:&nbsp;Going to a fine dining restaurant and having&nbsp;very awkward conversations&nbsp;waiting for each course, but also finding out that Monique's favourite part of dinner was the sorbet palette cleanser too!

Q: What were your first impressions like of each other? 

Monique: Wow he's like a really quiet&nbsp;guy but damn can he dance....&nbsp; 

Jonathan:&nbsp;Why does she talk so much? Also, she is pretty cute

Q: What made you fall in love with the other?

Monique: His dorkiness. Although he may look big and strong on the outside, Jon is the softest, most silliest guy I know and makes me laugh everyday.&nbsp;That and his freestyle rapping about food - Djon mustard (stage name).&nbsp;

Jonathan:&nbsp;She can cook! No, just kidding... She is kind,&nbsp;caring and considerate enough to put up with me and my terrible sense of humor, which definitely qualifies as #wifematerial

Q: What's the most memorable trip you've taken together? 

Our 6 week Europe adventure back in 2013! It was our very first trip together and was definitely an eye opener after being stuck 24/7. Special mentions to Budapest, Florence,&nbsp;Vietnam and Hawaii ( of course!).&nbsp;

Q: Where are you thinking of going for your honeymoon?

Canada and United States of America to see their fall season! In particular ;&nbsp;Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, Washington D.C, New York, Los Angles and San Francisco, with a pit stop in Seoul, Korea. This trip was planned a few years ago but we decided to wait until our honeymoon (even back then we knew we would get married).&nbsp;

Yam Seng

What is Yam Seng? 

"Yam Seng," or “cheers” in Chinese, is a Cantonese term that literally means “drink to victory," is usually practiced in wedding celebrations to congratulate the groom for marrying his beloved woman. Typically done towards the end of the reception, the couple, together with their families and the bridal party, will get up and cram around each table in turn to drink a toast with their guests. Everyone will raise their glasses high and shout "yam seng" so the atmosphere is pushed to a new high. The longer and louder "Yam Seng" the more blessings we will have. ;)&nbsp;&nbsp;

Wishing well

The most important thing to us is having you there for our special day.&nbsp;

We do not take for granted the journeys you will take to be with us to celebrate the most wonderful moment of our lives.&nbsp;&nbsp;
We are blessed in abundance already, and yet we know it is customary to give gifts at these special milestones.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Instead, should you feel so inclined, there will be a&nbsp;&nbsp;'well' set up at the reception.&nbsp;
