The Proposal

It’s the little quirks that make people lovable. No one knows this better than May Wan’s husband Audric Haryadi, who was enamoured by a wrinkle under the model’s eye when he first saw a snapshot of her laughing. Eight years of wedded bliss and two adorable daughters later, the affable May still likes to joke that her significant other picked his bride out of a photo line-up.

HOW WE MET: “I got an offer for a modelling job in Jakarta in 2005. Some other models were approached too, and when they compiled everyone’s composite cards, the client asked his friend – my husband – to help him choose the best person for the job, and he chose me! He thought I was the cutest one. So, I always like to tease him and say that he chose his wife from a bunch of photos. When I flew to Jakarta afterwards, he picked me up at the airport, but sparks only flew after we had been friends for a year.”

HOW HE ASKED: “He took me to Banyan Tree in Bintan to celebrate our first year of dating. We were having a private candlelit dinner at this beautiful outcrop of rocks with waves crashing around us, and he pulled a book out of this plastic bag. Our photos were in it, as well as our love story. Then I got to a page that said, ‘Let’s take the next step’ and when I flipped the page, there was a ring. I burst out crying and said ‘Yes, yes, yes!’ through my tears. He really upped his game when he asked me to be his wife.”
