You Are My Joy – Sweet Singapore Wedding from Bloc Memoire

June 10, 2014

From start to finish, Kathleen & Zhiwei’s sweet Singapore wedding can only be described as “joyful”, the contagious joy that leaves your heart all warmed up! We love how this wedding puts creative spins on tradition to make it personal and fun. Each and every moment captured beautifully by Bloc Memoire is so incredibly heartwarming, and leaves us smiling from ear to ear. The elegant blush + ivory color palette illustrates romance in a soft and lovely way. Join us as we share moments from this darling day below.

Chemistry of love

Kathleen & Zhiwei: We met in university through a good friend and instantly hit it off. We shared plenty of chemistry and could spend hours talking over coffee. Those times were perhaps the fondest memory of us falling in love.

 

Proposal story

From the Bride (Kathleen): We dated for 5 years before we got engaged. I knew he was up to something when he took me on a spa getaway. It was as if I could read his mind but I played along. It was too sweet and I didn’t want to ruin his efforts. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly nevertheless and when he finally popped the question, I said yes!

Wedding planning priorities  

Kathleen & Zhiwei: Our guests were definitely our first priority! In fact, everyone who played a part in the wedding was important to us. We wanted to keep the wedding simple and make sure that our guests can really have a great time.

Apart from that, we were also concerned about having everything on time. Like most Chinese weddings, we had to follow traditions like fetching the bride, where the groom visits the bride’s place early in the morning to play some games, known as the ‘gate-crash’, and finally ‘fetch the bride’ to his place. We also had a tea ceremony where the bride and groom serve tea to their elders. In the evening, we had our marriage solemnized before the wedding banquet. And all of that has already been simplified!

Advice to other couples planning their day

Kathleen & Zhiwei: Don’t fret over trivial matters! Yes, you will be tired, and there are things that might go wrong, but no one will blame you for that! Have lots of fun because you’ll only get to experience this together once.

A joyful and unforgettable experience

Kathleen & Zhiwei: The wedding turned out better than we expected! It was really heartwarming to watch our loved ones beamed from ear to ear as we walked down the aisle, our bridesmaids laughing alongside our groomsmen and photographers and videographers putting in their best efforts. It made us very happy!

Thoughts from the photographer

Bloc Memoire: It was a privilege for us to be part of Kathleen & Zhiwei’s intimate wedding. Everyone was having an awesome time during the ‘gate-crash’ where the groom and his brothers had to overcome some challenges before fetching the bride. The bridesmaids had so much fun “torturing” them!
