Ours is my favorite love story. Who would have thought that we have attended several similar occasions, but never got a chance to meet until that fateful day of 16th of February 2019. Ben is God's answered prayer to all my years of waiting. Here are some photos from our prenup shoot.
I am wearing an Enchanting Champagne Gold Ball Gown adorned with pearls and crystal details by Designer Merri Chan. She is a budding designer to watch out for. When I met her, she was so simple, clad in a white shirt and jeans, but boy, her talent and attention to details was superb. I was blown away with her artistic eye. I am actually proud of her as she is actually a batchmate of mine back in ICA.
I got a chance to interview Merri and here are some things you should know about her
Who is Merri Chan?Your no nonsense friend, history buff and all around kaladkarin
How would you describe your brand aesthetics?
effortless and elegant
What is fashion for you?
A form of self expression and a way to make people feel great about themselves.

Simple and no nonsense. Prefer to dress in lounge pants and shirts for myself and unleash my creativity on dresses for other people

Who is your style icon and why?
Carolyn bessette-kennedy. Her style is functional for the everyday woman and really chic. Plus she's driven and goal oriented

I consider achievement as something that makes you really happy, not necessarily meaning you have to get accolades or public recognition. That said, accomplishing some dresses for our recent brides. They're different; not your typical bridal look and my brides rocked those dresses

Know your brand and who you want to sell it to

Take calculated risks, don't look down on new designers and also, know your brand

I love this Merri Chan ensemble because it made me look like a princess straight out of a fairytale. From the color, to the fabric and to the beadwork, it was simply divine. I felt like royalty wearing it.
Love is something you should never rush. It took me 30 years to find him and it was all worth it. I am truly blessed to have a man who loves and respects both me and my family. He really is my Prince Charming and I could not ask for more.
I hope you enjoyed this post. I have 3 more upcoming prenup looks so stay tuned!
