“The wedding was a union of our love. We chose the song My Heart Your Home and verses from the Bible to illustrate the point that above virtues such as compassion, gentleness, compassion and kindness, love binds them all together in perfect unity. We wanted to share the significance of this with our family and guests. As we had our celebrations at the W Retreat Koh Samui, we decided on a simple, chic, and elegant style for our wedding. As the venue itself was quite beautiful, we kept our décor simple with a palette of blush pink, white and grey.”

“To ensure we had more personal time with our guests, we arranged for drinks at our personal Villa pre- and post-wedding. For me, that was one of the highlights of our wedding.”

“The most romantic moment during the wedding had to be when my husband prayed over me and I really felt that we were one in God’s presence, with our family and friends.”
