Karen Theng, secondgeneration owner of Grand & Straits Optical, and Kelvin Chua, entrepreneur, married in two events with a beautifully rustic feel, in the presence of 250 guests.
LUCKY MISTAKE It was a fortunate mistake that led to us meeting during orientation when we were at university. I sat in the wrong row and ended up joining Karen’s group. Sparks flew, and nearly 10 years have passed since then. PROPOSAL IN THE SWISS ALPS I proposed to Karen during a trip our families took to Switzerland. We are all really close and get along well, so I felt that it was only right to propose in front of our loved ones. My original plan had been to ask for her hand at the top of the mountain, but it was too crowded and foggy. While I was coming up with plan B, our families managed to secure a cable car cabin that we then had to ourselves. It felt like a private room in the Swiss Alps, and I decided there and then to propose to Karen.
