At that time, we were more acquaintances than friends. I was still in secondary school, and he was in the first year of polytechnic. Our friendship grew and we became a couple a little after I turned 18. I really liked him, but I was not ready to be in a committed relationship. We parted ways and did not stay in contact. Five years later, we bumped into each other again. It was so strange that despite all the time we spent apart from each other, the moment we rekindled, it was like we never separated. <\/p><p><i>Sufiyan: <\/i>We both first met through one of my best friends. After a few years of meet ups and outings, I finally found the courage to ask her out. We dated for a few months, but things didn\u2019t work out as at that point of time I was in the National Service and she was still finishing her diploma. Five years on, we met again at a friend\u2019s wedding, and I guess the feelings we had for each other just came rushing back. After a few awkward moments and dates, we ended up together again and the rest, as they say, is history. <\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-032.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-049.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-050.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-051.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-056.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-031.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-052.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-053.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-054.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-059.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-058.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-057.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><p><b><b>What drew you to each other? <\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Diana: <\/i>We have a really strong chemistry and that is what has always drawn us to each other.

He wouldn\u2019t tell me where, but I figured that we would be heading to Batam as I knew we were leaving from Harbourfront. However, when we reached Sekupang Terminal, we had to take another 1.5-hour boat ride elsewhere. I was really surprised when we reached Telunas Private Island in the Riau Islands. It had 15 overwater private villas. He proposed to me that evening, on the balcony of our villa. It was an emotional evening for me as I did not see it coming, and we had not planned to be married so soon. Everything was beautiful, with the sunset in the background. The proposal came with an intimate speech from him before he surprised me by getting down on one knee. I said, \u201cYes,\u201d of course. <\/p><p><i>Sufiyan:<\/i> When we arrived at Sekupang, she was confused about having to take another boat ride. When we finally arrived on the island after a long boat ride, she was pleasantly surprised with the location as it was quite remote and exclusive. Little did she know that I had brought an engagement ring with me to the island. I waited for a nice sunset, and on the balcony overlooking the sea, I got down on one knee and proposed. Her expression at that point of time was the happiest I had ever seen.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-080.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-081.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-082.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-083.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-084.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-085.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-086.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-087.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-088.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-089.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-090.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-091.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-092.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-093.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-094.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-095.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-096.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-097.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-098.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-099.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-100.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-034.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-035.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-036.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-037.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-038.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><p><b><b>How did you create your wedding?<\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Diana: <\/i>Sufiyan let me take the wheel throughout the whole planning process so I made most of the decisions. I\u2019ve always wanted a private wedding \u2013 just our close friends and families. My initially worry was selecting the venue for our event as we wanted a combined wedding and needed to ensure that the location of the venue was central. We could not have searched for venues at a better time. Royal Palm @ Clarke Quay had just opened, and I was really happy with what they were offering. We settled on the colour theme for the wedding once I saw the bridesmaids\u2019 dresses. I had actually bought the dresses one and a half years before the wedding. I saw the dress on a mannequin at a bridal show and immediately fell in love it with it. From then on, everything fell into place.<\/p><p>I told my wedding planner that I wanted my wedding to be filled with fresh flowers but only in the shades of white and green. The unique thing about Malay weddings is that we tend to dress not only the bridesmaids and groomsmen, but also the rest of our families. My mother and I spent a lot of time at Jakel in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, choosing the perfect fabrics for our families. We dressed all our family members attending the event in shades of apple green and cream songket, lace and chiffon. From the photos, we could see how it came together, which was really nice. When it was time to choose my cake, all I said was that I wanted a three-tiered cake with fresh flowers, without choosing flavours or design. I was pleasantly surprised on the wedding day when I saw the cake. It was a three-tiered rich, moist chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream filling, coated with swiss meringue buttercream and cranberry bits, topped with fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and fresh roses to complete the elegant look. It was amazing to know that our guests loved it too. For my hand bouquet, I let my florist have photos of my outfit, and let her choose the colours and types of flowers as well. I think the biggest detail about the wedding was that my partner and I trusted our vendors with everything. We couldn\u2019t be happier with the results. <\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-025.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-028.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-029.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-027.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-026.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-060.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-062.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-061.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-063.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-064.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-065.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-066.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-067.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-068.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-069.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-014.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/green-and-blush-malay-wedding-015.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><p><b><b>Tell us about your wedding day.<\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Diana:<\/i> Both our families booked a couple of rooms at <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/hotels\/swissotel-merchant-court\/\" target=\"_blank\">Swissotel Merchant Court Hotel<\/a> on the day before the wedding.
