Childhood sweethearts Ernest Oh and Karmen Chee, both 27, got married in August 2020, delayed by five months or so because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“On our wedding day, I couldn’t believe it was really happening! It was something that I’ve always dreamed about, growing up and having the perfect wedding with the man I love, ” says Chee, a teacher at a child enrichment centre. “The day went by so quickly and it was a memorable day that both of us will never forget!” she adds.
