For Harry, it all began with a chance meeting at the consulting company.

Their journey started with small talk, blossomed through shared dinners and wines.

Three years later, after multiple lock-downs, Harry and Sonia managed to finally reunite with their families in Singapore and Harry took that opportunity to propose to Sonia in the Singapore Botanical Gardens.

At first they planned to have a wedding in Japan. But their search led them to the enchanting shores of Bali, specifically to Tirtha Bali, a venue that stole their hearts.

The allure of Tirtha Bali was undeniable - the breathtaking views, the awe-inspiring architecture, and the incorporation of Japanese culture elements.

Sonia, the epitome of grace, held a bouquet adorned with garden roses and Ecuador roses in blush and berry mauve, also lisianthus, ranunculus, and old roses in blush and white.

Her hairpiece and Harry’s boutonniere complemented this, creating a harmonious floral theme that resonated throughout the venue.
