Couple holds
wedding in primary school
Holding a wedding in school may not be new, but this happy
couple took it a step further – by inviting guests to
turn up in their school uniforms!
Mr Terence Lin and Ms Goh Fang Ying, both 28, met in
Temasek primary school, and returned more than 16 years later to
hold their wedding at their alma mater.
What's more, at the couple's behest, 40 of their close friends
and relatives donned their school uniforms for the special
occasion.
"Some of them were very very enthusiastic about the uniform idea
and it wasn't difficult to persuade them (to do it)," said Mr
Lin, a senior executive.
The unusual wedding ceremony was held in a classroom, crammed
with more than 70 guests including many "over-aged
students".
Said the bride, Ms Goh Fang Ying, a market researcher: "My
husband and I were each others' first loves. We met when we were in
Primary Six, in the school garden. We decided it would be
meaningful to hold our wedding in the school, to start a new
beginning together at the place where we first met."
Using the projector in the classroom, the groom proceeded to
present a multimedia presentation on their love's journey, a
relationship that spanned 10 years, since university.
"The relationship began when Fangying was in the first year of
University, and I was in the army. However, we maintained contact
since we left Temasek Primary and went to different secondary
schools," said the groom.
Mr Lin was from Victoria School, while Ms Goh went to Tanjong
Katong Girls' School. But they were reunited in junior college,
when they both attended Victoria Junior college.
