Seamlessly melding the modern and the traditional, the nuptials of Dexter Fung and Dessy Handojo were imbued with intimate touches in tune with the couple’s eye for design
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, but anyone who had seen Dessy Handojo on her wedding day would concur that she was a stunning bride. The Indonesian, dressed in a gown by Adrian Gan, tied the knot with her husband Dexter Fung on March 16 in Singapore, a day marked by intimate moments shared with the family; fabulous food; a special performance by former Westlife crooner Shane Filan; and, of course, lots of love.
The couple first met six years ago through a common friend and hit it off instantly. After dating for five years, Dexter finally popped the question in Japan in 2017. “I was on a family holiday and Dexter joined us as well,” recounts Dessy. “It was cherry blossom season, and Dexter surprised me with a proposal when we were in the park with my family. Dexter knows that my family is a great part of my life, and it means a lot to me that he proposed in front of them.”

In fact, even their wedding celebrations at the St Teresa Church and Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore were filled with a host of personal touches and endearing moments shared with the family. “Our most memorable moments from the wedding were when we said our vows to each other at the church ceremony, and asked for our parents’ blessings, and when Dexter’s dad gave a very touching speech that meant a lot to us and sang Diana Ross’ Endless Love.”
Of course, it helped that the couple was able to enjoy every small moment of their big day, as their planners The Wedding Entourage handled every detail to perfection. “We are very impressed with the coordination of The Wedding Entourage as they made our wedding planning a smooth-sailing one,” says Dessy.
