It was love at first sight for Richard. The bumped into each other again the next day in Perth. Fate kept bringing them together again and again. Richard lived in Houston, Texas and Vivienne was employed as a stewardess. She had to travel extensively and Richard had to work out a schedule to court her. Eventually, when Richard’s company set up office in Singapore, he finally was able to be close to her. On 15 July, 2005, Richard asked Vivienne to be his girlfriend.

The proposal: For my birthday in 2007, I asked Viv if we could go to Hong Kong Disneyland and I planned to propose to her after the fireworks show. On my birthday I wanted to give the best gift to myself and that would be asking Vivienne to be my wife. A soon as the fireworks show was over, I explained how much Hong Kong meant to me and how special it was for us to be at Disneyland together. I then asked her to marry me, and unfortunately, had the engagement ring box upside down. In the dark, she couldn’t see the ring and thought I was just joking. I then turned the box right side up and told her I was serious. Luckily, she said ‘Yes’.


The wedding theme: The tea ceremony theme was oriental with the bold colour of red. This was to reflect Viv’s ancestry and for me to experience a traditional Chinese wedding. I came on a trishaw to pick up my bride. For the wedding reception, Viv incorporated many travel themes because we both had travelled extensively. We wanted to
keep the travel theme as romantic as how our love story had started.

The venue: Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa
The rings: Brilliant Rose Solitaire diamond from Soo Kee Jewelry for the bride and Eternity diamond band from Fairy’s Inc, Singapore. The groom’s ring is from The Carat Club.
The wedding gowns: Renee L for wedding gown & MTM kua from The Red Wedding (Singapore).
The groom’s suit: Raffles Tailor Suit (Singapore).
Moments to treasure: Viv says it was the point of walking down the aisle. All the stress of the planning didn’t matter anymore when she walked towards the man who was going to be her partner for life. It was an emotional moment when she saw me standing there, waiting for her.
