MANDY Yong and Alex Ng will be among the over 100 hundred couples in the Klang Valley who will be registering their marriage at the Thien Hou temple in Jalan Robson, here, today.
The thought of getting married occurred to 26-year-old Yong last year, and she "popped the question" to her boyfriend.
"I was just asking him if we should get married as my friends were already married," said Yong.
The idea became reality when she took him to a wedding expo at Mid Valley Megamall, where they ended up signing for a wedding package.
Yong and Ng initially wanted to register their marriage on Feb 1, but it was a public holiday. They then decided on Feb 14.
"We consider ourselves lucky as we were the 103rd couple to get a slot to register our marriage on Feb 14," she said.
Because the ceremony fell on Valentine's Day, they had to fork out double the price for a bouquet of blue roses.
"Rings also cost more at this time," she said.
Although Yong was the one who suggested that they tie the knot, Ng surprised her by getting on his knees to put the ring on her finger.
"It is a once-in-a-lifetime event, I want to give her a proper proposal," said Ng, adding that they had started off as pen pals and had even put their relationship on hold for a while.
"I guess it is time to get serious because we met each other again when she joined my company a few years ago," he said.
Ng said only a few close friends and their parents would be present at the registration of their marriage.
"Most of our friends are working on the day, also, there will be limited parking spaces," he said.
The wedding reception is on March 24.
