GEORGE TOWN: Love blossomed online for Bok Teik Hai and Tan Ing Yew after they met at someone’s wedding dinner last year, leading them to tie the knot on Valentine’s Day.

Bok, 32, a salesman, said at the beginning, he did not express his feelings to Tan, 31. Their courtship began when they added each other as friends on Instagram.
