The road to excellence can be arduous, but it’s always a rewarding journey when the goal is worthwhile. The recipients of this year’s Singapore Tatler Awards know this only too well, as they talk about the hurdles and turning points in their lives and careers that have paved the way to their current success.

Seasons Of Change

Grace And Kevin Wong

SINGAPORE TATLER SOCIETY COUPLE OF THE YEAR 2019

Having first met on the dance floor some 20 years ago, this gregarious couple connected over their passion for dance and dated for nearly five years before tying the knot in 2005. “His dance lead and gentlemanly manners caught my eye,” Grace said of Kevin. “We are two dancers destined to be a couple.” And who can forget the sultry dance number they performed during Grace’s 60th birthday celebration last year? Their rapport and mutual understanding can be felt as they gracefully glided over the dance floor to the rapturous applause from the audience.

FORMULA FOR A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

Grace Wong (GW): Honesty and trust—these values are fundamental to any partnership. Without them, no partnership can last. It’s the same for a marriage too.

POINTS OF ATTRACTION

GW: His caring nature, and his commitment and responsibility towards the family Kevin Wong (KW): How she cares and loves both sides of our families.

PERFECT MATCH

GW: I love themed parties, and I love blue and white. Since we had the honour of being the Society Couple of the Year and with chinoiserie being the theme of the ball, I felt it would be meaningful for both Kevin and I to wear something similar—in my favourite shades of white and blue, of course. Obviously, Kevin resisted initially but being a good sport, he relented and happily went along with it later.

ADVICE FOR YOUNG COUPLES

KW: Be kind and truthful to one another, and have fun.
