Kun and Daphne’s love story began with serendipity, introduced by mutual friends but truly blossoming upon reconnecting in Singapore. For Daphne, it was Kun’s shy but steady demeanor that captured her heart, while Kun was drawn to her simplicity. A trip to Japan under the guise of joining a city run culminated in a surprise proposal outside Ichiran Ramen—much to Daphne’s relief, as she prefers intimate, meaningful moments. Despite Kun’s humorous attempt to propose with a faux engagement ring with a tiny diamond, Daphne’s response affirmed that love is beyond material gestures.

The bride and groom’s looks reflected the couple’s shared love for simplicity with a refined edge. Daphne wore a structured white gown with a dramatic train, radiating timeless elegance with her choice of accessories and makeup. Kun, on the other hand, donned a custom white tuxedo with black lapels, complete with their joint name embroidered—an element that added a deeply personal and unique touch.

Kun and Daphne’s wedding design was a stunning homage to classical opera and orchestral grandeur, brought to life by Donce Fine Floristry. The primary color palette featured bold red, wine, and burgundy tones. A dramatic red velvet backdrop created a theatrical ambience, with cascading drapery and floral installations adding texture and depth. Tablescapes adorned with red roses, baby’s breath, and glowing candles perfectly encapsulated the couple’s vision of “simple but classy.”

The evening’s sophistication was elevated by a 15-piece orchestra, performing a curated selection of songs that ranged from classical pieces to modern English and Mandarin melodies. Daphne’s passion for music infused every detail of the evening, with standout moments such as the orchestra’s performance of “Turning Page” during the couple’s first march-in—a cinematic touch inspired by her love for the Twilight series.

A standout moment was the couple’s inclusive speeches and dedications. Daphne’s slideshow-filled speech radiated gratitude and surprise song dedication, while Kun, despite being introverted, surprised everyone with an emotional address. The impromptu singing of “朋友” (Friend) by the groomsmen was a touching moment of camaraderie and joy. Similarly, the speeches from bridesmaids and groomsmen resonated deeply, leaving an indelible mark on the day’s celebrations. 

Another cherished highlight was the afterparty, where the couple’s DJ friends, Blink and Ashley Lau, turned the dance floor into a vibrant celebration. Guests indulged in a thoughtfully curated local-style supper station featuring Indomie with egg and hangover relief kits by Reset, ensuring the party ended on a lively note.

For Kun and Daphne, their wedding wasn’t just about tying the knot; it was about creating lasting memories with their loved ones. From the grandeur of the décor to the intimate moments of gratitude, every detail reflected their appreciation for the people who had been part of their journey.
