Love Is A Work Of Heart

It’s a union that’s been 13 years in the making. Cheryl Wee – singer, actress and owner of Cheryl W Wellness & Weight Management – tells us that she is finally taking the commitment plunge and getting hitched to long-time boyfriend Roy Fong this July.

Tell us more about this main man in your life. 

Roy has a huge, loving heart. He’s a giver who never expects anything in return. He’s always telling me how we can see God in everyone when we choose to see the good in them.

He also has a tenacious streak, so he doesn’t give up easily. He fights to be at the top – and goes at it even harder when he’s the underdog.

Roy has this amazing zest for life and takes interest in many things, from road bikes, guitars, movies, and historical documentaries to golf. Being by his side is really exciting and enriching. It’s opened my eyes to new worlds. On top of this, he is an architect and I think it’s pretty cool that I’m going to marry someone with such an interesting and creative job.

How did you meet? 

How we met in Victoria Junior College (VJC) in 2004 and subsequently got together is like a script from a TV drama series. I’m not going to say too much right now. Most of it will come out in a video for our wedding. But I will say that Roy was the popular guy in school; a science student and VJC’s top tennis star. I was the nerdy arts girl, who lived in my own world, loved dance and was driven home daily. He was also liked by all the girls, thanks to his tennis awards and big, sparkling eyes. The chances of us meeting were slim as we were in different streams, but... Okay, enough said.

How did he propose? 

He proposed in January 2016. Please don’t ask me anything more about that either. My family and Roy have embargoed the video and story line, which will be revealed on our actual day. So stay tuned!

How did you know he was the one?
