Once upon a time, on the island affectionately nicknamed, "Little Red Dot," two souls embraced their destinies and fatefully crossed paths. He was dashing, enigmatic - steely, confident, and armed with a sharp wit that could charm a room (or so he thought). She was spirited, full of life, laughter, and a touch of chaos, the kind that turns the ordinary into something magical.

Their story began like most great adventures: unexpectedly. Girl left the kampung for Singapore. Boy moved from The Big Apple to Singapore. Boy meets Girl in Singapore. They became friends, until one day... Boy attempted to win her heart with poutine, of all things. And to everyone’s surprise (including hers), it worked.

But their true fairytale began with a kiss - the kind of kiss that made their heads spin and the world stop. It was as if the stars aligned, the music swelled, and the universe declared, "This is the one!"

From there, they embarked on incredible adventures together. So many dreamy moments... watching the sun set over springtime Paris; gazing upon the glimmering lights of Broadway; warming up over gluhwein while snow fell on the Christkindlmarkt in Munich; camping under the stars on a remote beach on Vancouver Island to name but a few...

Together, they found something magical, a balance of opposites, like Yin and Yang, where one’s calm steadied the other’s energy. Their love was a mix of laughter and tenderness, with just the right amount “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” chaos to keep things interesting.

Then came the moment every great fairytale requires - The Proposal. With the words of W.B. Yeats “Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven”, the backdrop of the Singapore skyline slowly fading with the setting sun. He spoke his heart, wrapping their love in poetry as timeless as their bond. In his hand he peeled away the layers of silk in the softest shade of blue, and gently brought to light the most vivid green of a gem to her hand. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me," he said.

And now, their story continues - a tale of love, laughter, and happily-ever-afters yet to be written. As every fairytale teaches us, the magic is not in the ending; it is in the journey, and theirs is only just beginning.
