Beauty and fashion digital content creator Yeoh Mong Chin (@mongabong), 25, shares with us her wedding plans, and tips on maintaining a great relationship with her fiance, investment banker Matthias Lim, 27.
How did you meet?
I met Matt at an SMU sports camp before school started! Subsequently, we joined the school’s pageant for freshmen and got closer through practices and rehearsals.
How did you know he was the one?
When I casually said that I wanted to marry the next person I dated (I was 19 then) he didn’t flinch one bit; he told me he wanted the same too.
We were just friends at that time, but I remember thinking to myself, “How nice would it be if we dated and ended up marrying each other.” (laughs)
I wouldn’t say I immediately knew that he was the one, but somehow I knew he would work hard towards becoming my last and final boyfriend – and he eventually did!
What do you love most about each other? His confidence, intelligence and trustworthiness. (He says: ”She’s beautiful, patient and selfless.”)
How do you work out your differences?
After seven years together, we have learnt to iron out our differences or work around them. We hardly argue these days anymore, because we know each other’s trigger points and we try not to go there.
But, where there are disagreements, communication is really important. We make it a point to talk it out before we end the night. We have a rule to never go to bed angry and I’m proud to say that we’ve kept to it.
How are the plans for your wedding coming along?
