Behind the Scenes: Wedding Styled Shoot With Melissa C. Koh
Melissa: I love that the Choo Yilin collections are unique.When it comes to Si Dian Jin, most people think of the traditional 4-piece gold set, but I think the Choo Yilin collections offer a very fresh and unique touch to what people can get for their Si Dian Jin. What’s most important is that Si Dian Jin holds a lot of significance and meaning for the person receiving it. Jade is treasured like an heirloom and it makes a lot of sense for jade to be passed down from one generation to the next.
James: In preparation for the wedding, this has sort of forced us to be upfront about certain values and beliefs that we probably would not have talked about if we weren’t planning for a wedding.
Melissa: I think most of it is about discovering each other and spending time with each other learning about each other’s strengths and weaknesses like we figured out that I am an idea person with a lot of things that I want to accomplish but James is the one who will actually get down to executing those ideas. Its certain strengths and traits that we figured about each other and how they can apply to our work or even personal stuff like ur house. Most importantly, planning our wedding has brought our families closer together. It has given them the opportunities to meet more often and bond over those meetings. Planning our wedding has become something they’re really excited about!
James: Leading up to our wedding we had our engagement party in Bali. The whole point of that was actually to bond the bridal party but it also brought both our families and even extended families even closer together.
Melissa: On our part, throughout the process of wedding planning, both of us would also spend quality with each other’s family members so that's what we’re really happy about doing as a couple.
