Event planning is Chua’s bread and butter (she is the CEO and co-founder of a social organisation) and it showed in the elaborate affair she staged. Emcees and game masters were appointed, along with a “social media team” made up of friends with an eye for photos and videos.
On the big day, Chua lured her fiance to the vicinity with the promise of pizza, his favourite food, and suggested that they park outside the prawn noodles shop. There, a wild-eyed Bryan appears and asks for Tan’s help to “carry prawns into the shop”, where the entire crew laid in ambush.
“I was in awe,” Joseph, an operations director, recounted. “I stood there, calmed myself down, and said to myself: Let me appreciate and dwell in this moment. My follow-up response was, ‘Spoil market. What do I need to do next to one-up you?’”
After Chua delivered her speech, their friends made their entrance, holding signs that read “You Will Marry Me.”
“This was based on a meme he tagged me in when we first started dating. Also, because he had already proposed, he will marry me!,” she added.
