We could talk about anything, and could share our thoughts and feelings openly. We made each other laugh. We were always excited to spend time with each other.

your meteor shower proposal story and your adorably vintage solemnisation. Your wedding had a vintage theme too, didn\u2019t it?<\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Rosemary:<\/i> Ingo and I love 50s vintage so even though we already had a vintage-themed solemnisation, we just had to have a vintage-themed wedding day as well. Of course, it helped that our chosen venue, <a href=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/venue\/alkaff-mansion\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alkaff Mansion<\/a>, oozes nostalgic charm so a vintage theme just became the most natural thing to have.<\/p><p>Ingo and I are both analytical people with great attention to detail. Hence, it was our desire for our wedding to have a personal, intimate touch which would leave our guests feeling that they have shared a very special moment with us, and have even gotten to know us a bit better through the wedding. With this in mind, we worked with our wedding designer, Loretta, and after several iterations, finally came up with the key concepts for our wedding. Coral and mint were the key colours underlying the vintage theme. We had a vintage Volkswagen van for bridal transport, vintage wooden ladders, a tea cart and old cameras to reflect our love for the quaint and classic. Vintage lettering in a German phrase (\u201cAnd now let\u2019s get married\u201d) welcomed Ingo\u2019s family, and I picked jewelry with a vintage feel, e.g. vintage chandelier earrings, and pearl drop earrings to go with my wedding gown.<\/p><p>Since Ingo and I are Christians, we lined up the aisle with vintage wooden boards, and had phrases written on them from our favourite Bible passage about love. This way, our guests were able to read this passage and understand what we believe about love. Our stage backdrop was done in \u201cchalkboard\u201d and \u201cchalk writing\u201d finish, and written with the same Bible passage we used for the walk-in aisle. Instead of the usual guest sign-in book, we got guests to pen down their personal advice to us based on pre-determined categories from A to Z (for example, \u2018Always\u2026\u2019,\u2019Baby Names\u2019, \u2018Date Night\u2019 suggestions), all on personalised little cards designed by Loretta. Each table card had a table number with our baby photos on one side, and a table name with a related fun fact about us on the other. 29 fun facts to be exact!<\/p><p>Ingo is a huge Coca Cola fan (or should I say \u2018addict\u2019?) so we weaved in 50s Coca Cola elements into the wedding. For example, old wooden Coke crates and real \u201cold\u201d Coke bottles were used for our biscuit bar decor, old Coke bottle caps were used for the boutonnieres, and of course, there\u2019s Coke all over our Diner photo booth! Our biscuit bar was all about vintage Coke, and doubled up for weddings favours. In addition, the cute red checkered doggy bag, \u201cIngo &amp; Rose\u201d personalised sticker, old-school childhood biscuits, and the concept of \u201cdabao happiness\u201d gave a fun yet intimate touch to the favours. Our wedding cake was a lovely gift from my sister, complete with delicate sugar flowers on a mint fondant. It was very yummy too!<\/p><p>We had a unity sand ceremony as we thought it would be a meaningful and appropriate alternative for the usual unity candle ceremony that takes place during a holy matrimony. So we bought one from eBay, got the coloured sand, and did some practice runs to get ready for it.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"

entire wedding. He loves 50s diners \u2013 the look, the colours, and the atmosphere of fun and happiness that a diner brings. So it was his dream to have a diner as the photo booth backdrop. And of course, Coca Cola was ever so easily woven into this diner theme, much to his delight. To match with the diner backdrop, I sourced online for 50s-themed photo props including diner food, 50s\u2019 hairstyles, glasses etc. We got them printed locally, stuck them on sticks and they were ready to go. I think my guests had fun with them.<\/p><p><b><b>What was the most memorable moment of your wedding?<\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Rosemary:<\/i> It has to be our exchange of vows. So the thing is, every time we rehearsed our vows before the wedding, Ingo would tear up and get emotional. On the wedding day however, I was the one who got choked up for a good 30 seconds during our exchange of vows. I had gone through a difficult time medically early in the year, hence, when I was saying my vows, I suddenly got very emotional. Tears were streaming and Ingo had to very sweetly pass me his handkerchief to wipe my tears (and snot) so that I could carry on with my vows.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"
