organised a badminton session one evening towards the end of 2012. We were all ex-school team players, so we got to know each other on the court.<\/p><p>When we knew each other, Joel was working in the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB). However at the next badminton session, he mentioned to the group that he was leaving to join Zalora, then a relatively new e-commerce company. When our mutual friend exclaimed that this new job suited him much more than EDB, I realised Joel wasn\u2019t the conservative public servant I had assumed he was, but actually quite the risk taker. As we got to know each other better through our Whatsapp chats, we realised we shared similar values and outlooks on life and work, and began to hit it off. <\/p><img decoding=\"async\"

before the pre-wedding photoshoot at the Equinox. It wasn\u2019t exactly unexpected, but then again, we had already applied for a BTO a few years back, so we already knew marriage was on the cards. We had celebrated our first month of being a couple at the Equinox so popping the question there made it extra special. I remember telling him not to kneel as I felt embarrassed! The coral and white rose bouquet he used during the proposal also made it into our pre-wedding photos the next day!<\/p><p><b><b>Was it difficult preparing for your wedding while working at a startup? <\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Bena:<\/i> I did most of the planning as I knew Joel would be more than happy for me to make most of the decisions, given that girls tend to care about the little details more.

We also made a calendar for 2017 with all our pre-wedding photos using Photobook, which is a merchant on Shopback. We would have used Shopback to book our accommodation as well, if Grand Hyatt Singapore hadn&#8217;t already provided us with 90,000 points, which we used to redeem eight nights in Honolulu.<\/p><p><i>Bena: <\/i>I also bought wedding presents for ourselves from Reebonz via Shopback to remember the occasion by\u2014a Gucci wallet for him and Chanel bag for me. The ongoing 25% off sale coupled with 1.5% cashback made the purchases very worth it!<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-99.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 99\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-73.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 73\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-62.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 62\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-64.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 64\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-65.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 65\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-66.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 66\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-98.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 98\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-75.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 75\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-103.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 103\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-104.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 104\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-106.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 106\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-109.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 109\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Shopback-Co-Founder-Joel-and-Benas-Teal-Purple-and-White-Wedding-at-Grand-Hyatt-Singapore-77.jpg\" alt=\"Shopback Co-Founder Joel and Bena&#039;s Teal, Purple and White Wedding at Grand Hyatt Singapore 77\" \/><p><b><b>Did you have a wedding theme? <\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Bena: <\/i>As ENTPs, we didn\u2019t start planning the wedding with any fixed ideas in mind. We went with the white and purple floral wedding theme offered by Grand Hyatt Singapore. When I was in New York for work in March 2016, I made it a point to hunt for bridesmaid dresses from the bridal shops and online stores. I managed to find beautiful and inexpensive teal maxi dresses at H&#038;M\u2019s online store. After the bridesmaids gave their OK, I purchased them and then went on Pinterest to get ideas on how to tie together teal, purple, and white. These colours actually went together beautifully, especially when these colours were reinforced in the bridesmaid bouquets I made with one of my bridesmaids. <\/p><img decoding=\"async\"

However, as the date got closer, the morning eventually started at 5am for me and my bridesmaids! I actually slept a grand total of three hours the night before, and felt like I was high on adrenaline the whole day, but I honestly enjoyed every single moment of it.
