CLEO Singapore|November 2018

A rehab centre, a yacht, and a bar these places arent exactly what comes to mind when you think about where toget hitched. We got three women to tell us about their unconventional wedding locations.

Non-Traditional Weddings

Fiona Cher, 27

Got married on a yacht in the middle of the ocean

Total cost: $10,000

“My husband and I met in London. We maintained a long-distance relationship for a long time because he was attending university in Bath while I was doing my degree in the city. There was a lot of travelling involved so we could see each other.

I brought up the idea of having our wedding ceremony on a yacht as a joke, but my husband thought it was a great idea so we just ran with it. We wanted our solemnisation to be intimate, special and memorable for us and our families. The idea of a yacht wedding seemed like a perfect metaphor for a new journey together.

Our families were very supportive and our guests were also very excited since most of them were attending a yacht wedding for the first time. We did the planning ourselves but had a team of amazing vendors that helped put everything together. We actually still have two more wedding ceremonies to go: a country manor wedding reception in the UK, and a traditional Chinese banquet in Singapore!”

Grace Sim, 46

Got married at The Hiding Place, a local farm and rehabilitation centre for addicts and ex-prisoners

Total cost: $28,000
