OUR STORY

First encounters

DUBAI (2011):  It all started, one hot summer. Girl & Boy work together. Blurred by work so it wasn’t love at first sight. One night in Oct, Girl bumps into Boy at an after office drinks meet up. Boy chats up with Girl. Girl invites Boy to her promotion party. Boy rocks up late with a rose bouquet. Boy then invites Girl for a lunch date. Girl accepts. It was their first 5-hour long date by the beach. Lots of time spent together. Friendship gets stronger.

East meets west

MALAYSIA ♥ WALES (2012):  Within two months Girl & Boy are an official item. Work contract ends, Boy leaves Dubai in January. What next? A long distance and a cross-cultural relationship. Girl & Boy taste each other’s countries, way of living, family, friends, and cultural values – Boy learns that rice cooker always stays on top of the counter and Girl learns that Boy eats a rice meal with a fork and knife (not a fork and spoon).

The great adventure

LONDON (2012/13):  Girl encounters new experiences in London and loves every bit of it.

From I to we

LONDON ♥ KL ♥ DUBAI (2014/15):  After two years in the relationship, Girl & Boy decide to take themselves off the market. Now it’s 2015, back in Dubai and the happy couple are getting married. They’re heading back to Kuala Lumpur to make it official and celebrate with the people they love.

Mr. & Mrs.

KL (2015):  Girl’s family welcomes Boy’s family in sunny Malaysia. Registration of marriage takes place on May 25th in Girl’s home town, Petaling Jaya. Girl & Boy make life-long commitment to each other and are now officially Mr. & Mrs. A new family unity. Count down to the Big Day 30.05.2015!

Message from the Page Boy

Dearest Jacenta & Andi, Congratulations!!!! You are married!!! Michael, Marlon and I would like to thank you for including Marlon in your wedding party. It was a very exciting 'gig' for him and a significant time in his life. His first ever page boy gig. We now plan to hire him out to other weddings and charge a fee which will help start his education fund - we will need - when he starts Eton College in the UK. We would also like to say that we appreciate the invitation to share your special day with you for it is one we will never forget. From the church ceremony, the beautiful bride in her absolutely gorgeous gown and the handsome groom in his morning suit to the flowers adorning the church and the coming together of families and friends. It was SPECIAL. The reception had a touch of simple, yet sophisticated, elegance that amalgamated both your attributes, traditions entwined the contemporary with modern and just the right amount of vintage sprinkles. From the speeches which stole our hearts and brought us closer and the exquisite mouth-watering cuisine served. And....the beautiful montage that captured the essence of the day which left us teary eyed (if you can make Michael cry, it must be good). Your wedding cake was beautiful and well presented by Mr. & Mrs. Penguin. We will not forget the bridal dance which started off slow and easy but ended with booty shaking which got the crowd to the floor and stomping, heyho-ing with flashbacks of the 'old school' 80's & 90's mega mixes!! Fantabulous! We wish you every happiness as you embark upon your journey together and ask that you treasure all your memories and embrace each experience as it comes; they are all special - just as you both are. We love you both. Joy, Michael & Marlon xoxo
