The Bride: Jade Tan, 29
The Groom: Tham Tze Vun, 32
 
This couple were friends from many years ago. After losing touch with each other they met again at a friend’s wedding. It was love at second sight for them and they dated for 5 years before deciding to get married.
It was a relaxed Sunday afternoon at home when Tze Vun proposed to Jade by tying the engagement ring onto their puppy and sending the puppy off to her. Jade was surprised and hadn’t expected it. She said yes and they began planning their ROM.

Jade and Tze Vun had to book both their ROM & wedding reception venues a year in advance. They have chosen The Saujana Hotel for their Chinese wedding reception in October – it was the same venue as when they met at their friend’s wedding. The entire wedding, including the ROM - photography, suits & dresses, wedding rings, and so on- cost them about RM150k.

CW: What was the most difficult task in planning a wedding?
JTV: Planning the seating arrangements – venues usually have a seating limitation, and there is also the issue of who to place next to who, and who wants to sit next to who, and so on.

 
CW: What was your ROM theme?
JTV: It was a white-colored theme with sky blue linings (Chosen by my Dad).

CW: What was on the menu?
JTV: The Chef, Mr. Ootha, is Burmese and the buffet spread was of mixed Asian-fusion. The menu included fragrant steamed rice, garlic rice, salmon aglio olio, bali chicken curry, Nyonya fish curry, dried Assam Jawa prawns, beef rendang, lamb chops, sambal asparagus with squid, Burmese laksa, and frito mito. For dessert we had fried banana rolls with jack fruit, served with Gula Melaka & santan sauce. Basically, one can’t go wrong trusting Mr. Ootha to plan the menu 

 
CW: Any advice to other brides-to-be?
Jade: Get a good makeup artist!
Tze Vun: …and a lot of money
Jade: And don’t ask for too many opinions from other people! Because this will only (eventually) confuse you
