We soon realised that we have the same values and likes! And with that, we dated with marriage in mind. I remember telling my best friend casually, on the type of man I was looking for as my husband &#8211; a man who puts God first; a spiritually and emotionally mature man. A man who will look past all my flaws and still love me the same. <\/p><p><i>Zhi Wei<\/i>: The 3 \u2018C\u2019s \u2013 Chemistry, Character, Core Values. Our chemistry was overflowing the moment we met as we had a lot in common. Her self-driven, independent, generous, caring and kind character also attracted me.

My grandfather is Shanghainese, and he came to Singapore with his family when he was young. I also did my internship in Shanghai when I was in university and had a fascination with \u201cold Shanghai\u201d fashion. We can\u2019t stand public displays of affection\/cheesy photos! So, we wanted our photoshoot to move away from a romantic-cheesy kind of photoshoot.<\/p><p>We sourced for our outfits, a traditional male and female Kua, and traditional accessories from Taobao, while we bought the red umbrella from a past bride.

Kenny was also very professional and made us feel very comfortable, bringing out the best in us through his artistic choreography and photography. <\/p><p>We encountered a funny moment \u2013 as we were unsure if The Chinese Garden had adequate changing facilities, we decided to change into our Kua at the nearest (and safest) venue which worked out to be the Singapore Science Centre.
