We loved getting married! We loved it so much we did it five times!
Singapore I Hawaii I Yap I Kuala Lumpur I New York
Singapore
We live in Singapore and met in Singapore, so we thought we'd tie the knot in Singapore too as it's all part of our experience and the start of our adventure. Certainly not a huge event, it was a small and proficient ceremony and the Singapore Registry of Marriage (ROM), where we invited a couple of friends and went for lunch thereafter at the Fort Canning Hotel. Watch our ROM Wedding video that we filmed ourselves on our iPhone.
Hawaii
The main event. Our wedding in Hawaii is what we see as our actual wedding day. Being a destination wedding with friends and family flying in from all over the world, we held a number of pre-wedding events in the week leading up to the wedding including a welcome "I Do Booze Cruise", a traditional Hawaiian Luau dinner with hula dancers, Chinese tea ceremony and a bridal shower. Watch our Hawaii Wedding Video.
Yap
We got married on our honeymoon! As the newly wed Mr and Mrs Yap, on Yap Island for our honeymoon, we thought it would be fun to continue the celebrations and have a traditional Yapese wedding, officiated by the village Chief and with some of the local villagers as our guests. This was a unique and memorable experience. Video coming soon.
Kuala Lumpur
With the trip to Hawaii being too far a journey from Malaysia, many of Simon's relatives couldn't make it. We therefore had the opportunity to hold a traditional Bai Zhu tea ceremony and wedding dinner celebration for friends and family in Malaysia.
New York
During what was a difficult time for Lauren's dad and family in the month before our Hawaii wedding, suffering a major heart attack, resulting in a life saving heart transplant, it unfortunately meant that he, along with Lauren's brother and sister in-law, could not make the wedding. This was his opportunity to walk Lauren down the aisle and give her away. A heart touching and intimate event and the family garden in New York. Watch our New York Wedding video.
Simon and Lauren's Hawaii Wedding. Big thanks to FishEye Studio for our Same Day Edit and a great job capturing our destination wedding and pre-wedding events: Booze Cruise Welcome Luau Dinner Bridal Shower Tea Ceremony Wedding Day! Destination weddings are the way forward. Held at Loulu Palm Estate - The most beautiful location on Oahu.
Our very first wedding in Singapore City at the Registry of Marriages ROM on the 15th Feb 2017. Yesterday we celebrated one of our many wedding anniversaries and looking back 3 years ago, this was back in the early days of our video production! We've come a long way since.
As a couple, we did our alignment early on in our relationship and from this formed our family Vision, Mission and Values. The foundation for our growing family, we used them as our wedding vows.
Our fifth and final wedding...for now! Wedding #5 in NYC, an intimate family affair in honour of the Father of the Bride.
