Though originally from Anhui in China, Carol and Jasper met on their first day of university in Queensland.<\/p>\n

“We got together after a year of friendship,” says Carol of their now nine-year-relationship.<\/p>\n

When it came to planning their wedding Carol and Jasper, aged 28 and 27, prioritised creating a traditional Hong Kong wedding with personalised elements.<\/p>\n

“We were really clear with what we wanted,” says the bride. “We spent just under a year to prepare our wedding, liaising with my sister as our point of contact in Hong Kong.”<\/p>\n

On April 28, 2018 the pair tied the knot with both a traditional Hong Kong ceremony and a western ceremony before celebrating into the night with a photo booth and a lavish cocktail party for 180 held at Jumbo on Hong Kong Island.<\/p>\n

To personalise the event, Carol and Jasper designed their own invitations and set up the venue themselves, adding hints of vintage style including a Dim Sim bamboo box for their flower table.<\/p>\n

If they could do it all again, Carol and Jasper say they’d take less photos with guests, eat more and play more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Jasper is my true strength and support,” Carol says of her now-husband.\u00a0 “He helps me to see beauty when it’s hard to see, to show empathy when it’s hard to love, and to laugh when all I want to do is cry. We’re looking forward to building our family together.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
