“I didn’t believe it because you wouldn’t usually expect proposals to be in the morning – this happened around 10am,” Tay laughed.
“My first question was, ‘Did I surprise you?’ Then I saw her crying and I was so touched because it was a successful event,” Wu said, adding, “I had a lot of help. We had an event planner, a videographer and a crew with mics and earpieces – they were very professional.” The couple’s friend, actress and florist Kayly Loh, also helped by filling the room with floral decorations.
TOWARDS WEDDED BLISS
The wedding, too, will be “timeless and simple”, Tay said. “We don’t like things too fancy.” Well, “It can be fancy, but it has to be timeless.”
She added, “We’re definitely doing a banquet and we will still have traditional Chinese elements like the gatecrashing, because after all, we are Chinese.”
On top of that, “I’ve also had a kebaya custom-made, because Sihan’s family is Peranakan,” she revealed. “I’ve been wearing kebaya when we visit them at Chinese New Year, but I have been borrowing from my aunt. So, I thought this was a good opportunity to make one for myself.”
On Wu’s part, “I don’t think I’ll be wearing batik” to match, he quipped.
The couple also shared that they’ve just started renovation work on their new home – the theme is “modern minimalism” with a clean white palette – “so hopefully we can move in right after the wedding,” Tay said, and start building a blissful home.
