Soulmates Bryan Loo and Sally Quah’s boy-meets-girl romance would melt even the most stoic heart: going from childhood sweethearts to proud parents celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2019, this prominent couple have endured their share of challenges and milestones, tied together with an unfading loyalty beneath their ever-playful persona. In this month's Couple Spotlight, we go back to the beginning, when Bryan and Sally first met while still in their teens.

Highschool romance
We've heard the story before and still enjoy telling it today: in a fortuitous twist of fate, Bryan and Sally hit it off almost instantly when Sally was transferred to the same secondary school that Bryan was attending in their hometown of Kangar in Perlis.

The pair were soon inseparable, and Sally knew in her heart of hearts that Bryan's personality was a perfect match for her own.
"I enjoy being in the company of those with a sense of humour," Sally says. "It wasn't surprising that I was completely taken up with this funny and playful guy."

Eventually, Bryan mustered up the courage to propose to Sally, and very soon the big day was fast approaching. We've mentioned Bryan's playful side, haven't we? How he proposed is simply delicious:
"We were out for dinner with friends when he proposed," Sally reveals with a laugh. "Let's just say, thank God I didn't eat the cupcake in which he planted the ring!"

As Bryan's entrepreneurial instincts and ambitious drive soon catapulted him to fame, it was Sally who was one of his greatest sources of strength and support. Over time, Bryan has often told us that Sally is the perfect complement for him.
Of her wedding day, Sally shares: "For me, it was a total cry fest the second my dad walked me down the aisle and gave my hand to Bryan."
