The love story of Cindy Zikif and Benjamin Ngiam affirms the oft-heard saying that the way to a man’s heart is through his tummy. A mutual friend of the pair had ordered a food item for Benjamin from the company Cindy works at, but little did he know that when the package was delivered to his door, it would be along with his future wife. Call it coincidence or the hand of fate, but the rest, as they say, is history.
They had barely dated for a year when Benjamin decided it was time to take their relationship to the next level—quite literally, in fact, when he got down on one knee and asked Cindy to marry him while they were hiking halfway up a mountain. If not for bad weather prompting them to turn around and head back down, the proposal might have taken place at the summit, but Cindy was moved by the romantic gesture nonetheless.
