Couple holds wedding in primary school
Holding a wedding in school may not be new, but this happy couple took it a step further – by inviting guests to turn up in their school uniforms!
Mr Terence Lin and Ms Goh Fang Ying, both 28, met in Temasek primary school, and returned more than 16 years later to hold their wedding at their alma mater.
What's more, at the couple's behest, 40 of their close friends and relatives donned their school uniforms for the special occasion.
"Some of them were very very enthusiastic about the uniform idea and it wasn't difficult to persuade them (to do it)," said Mr Lin, a senior executive.
The unusual wedding ceremony was held in a classroom, crammed with more than 70 guests including many "over-aged students".
Said the bride, Ms Goh Fang Ying, a market researcher: "My husband and I were each others' first loves. We met when we were in Primary Six, in the school garden. We decided it would be meaningful to hold our wedding in the school, to start a new beginning together at the place where we first met."
Using the projector in the classroom, the groom proceeded to present a multimedia presentation on their love's journey, a relationship that spanned 10 years, since university.
"The relationship began when Fangying was in the first year of University, and I was in the army. However, we maintained contact since we left Temasek Primary and went to different secondary schools," said the groom.
Mr Lin was from Victoria School, while Ms Goh went to Tanjong Katong Girls' School. But they were reunited in junior college, when they both attended Victoria Junior college.

Although decked out in their wedding best for the ceremony, the bridal couple quickly changed into their school uniforms right after to join their fellow "classmates" for pictures.
According to Ms Goh, she had always hoped to be able to hold a memorable wedding, one that her guests would never forget.
"I'm reminded of many happy memories when I see the school. I believe this unusual wedding ceremony will be unforgettable for both of us."
In their invitation, they encouraged guests to turn up in their school uniform. They even took measurements for willing guests, to hunt for suitable uniforms for them!
They spent about two months getting the outfits for their 40 guests who agreed to bridal couple's request.
They contacted a supplier, who provided them with made-to-measure uniforms of different schools.
Effort was also put in to ensure that their secondary school friends were provided with the appropriate secondary school uniforms.
"The whole preparation process took about two months", said Ms Goh.
Although it was stressful time for them, but it was a happy process. "Seeing our guests in their uniform and having fun, I feel very happy!" said Ms Goh.
