As a celebrity, Cheryl has been in the limelight and even before that, when she was the face for her parents’ beauty lifestyle chain, Jean Yip. Roy, on the other hand, has managed to stay under the radar apart from a spate of acting as a child.

One of the statements in their interview that struck me most was how, when the going got tough, they asked themselves why they were together.

When you fall in love, whether it’s with someone or with a beautiful object, your feelings are evoked in a way nothing else can illicit.

Ahead of the Singapore Tatler Weddings coverage of their celebrations coming up in May this year, we give you the highlights here.
