For Samuel Toh and Deenise Yang, the perfect way to round off their five-year courtship would have been to get married in a church, in the presence of a hundred or so family members and friends.
Rather than be defeated by the restrictions, Deenise and Samuel came up with creative solutions for a memorable wedding celebration.Though the couple resumed their wedding planning following the onset of Phase 2 last September, it was no walk in the park. Like many other prospective brides and grooms, they were confronted with many uncertainties on how to carry out their nuptials in the midst of such an unprecedented state of affairs.
Similarly, the restaurant Samuel and Deenise booked also warned them that safe distancing ambassadors would be doing frequent checks to ensure guests remain at their tables of eight and do not mingle — a potential pitfall since they both have big extended families. To avoid these headaches, they decided to whittle down the guest list to just 20 — the maximum number of people who can be part of the immediate wedding party and are exempted from the group of eight rule.
To enable friends and relatives to still be part of their wedding, the couple brought the proceedings online. They hired a videographer who could live-stream the solemnisation on YouTube, provided PayNow QR codes for well-wishers to send e-hongbao and even pre-recorded a song performance to entertain their virtual guests.
