How We Met

We met in 2018 as colleagues. Our team had regular happy hours, and one of them was at Livestock in BGC—that was the first time we saw each other. Back then, we were simply teammates, but little did we know that it would be the unexpected beginning of something more.

How We Became Official

Fast forward to July 21, 2019—we were in Singapore, wandering around the city, when we stopped by Thian Hock Keng Temple. In that peaceful moment, surrounded by the quiet of the temple, he asked me to be his girlfriend and make our relationship official. No big speech, just an honest question and a shared smile. That’s when we became “us.”

How He Proposed

On October 13, 2024, during our trip to Japan, he proposed in front of Toji Temple in Kyoto. The scene was beautiful and calm, with the temple’s pagoda standing tall behind us. He got down on one knee, and in that moment, everything just felt perfect. And just like that, we were engaged, ready to start forever together.
