Rachel Wee and Ken Chen
What would the Little Mermaid’s wedding have been like if she had it in Singapore? Just ask mermaid-obsessed Rachel Wee, heiress to the Jean Yip Beauty salon group, who married beau Ken Chen in a lavish, underwater-themed wedding at The Ritz-Carlton hotel in Marina Bay in April 2019. “I’ve loved mermaids since watching The Little Mermaid,” Wee told HerWorld.
The couple treated 600 guests to a US$3,700 giant faux clam shell, photo ops with an aquarium display filled with live fish, and Wee’s dad who was dressed up as Neptune, god of the sea.

Wedding gown designer by day, Jessicacindy Hartono got the winter wonderland, fairy tale wedding of her dreams when guests gladly flew all the way to Switzerland to see her get hitched to JustCo start-up founder Kong Wan Long in January 2019.
The winter season’s snowfall added a magical touch to the couple’s reception outside the luxurious Le Grand Bellevue hotel in Gstaad, in the Alps.
