A year after embarking on a loving relationship, financier Justin Chai finally proposed to executive director for Niche Retailing, Yeoh Pei Nee, at an onsen at Arthur’s Point, New Zealand. As it was in KL where the couple began their relationship, they saw it fit to celebrate their union in a big way at a reception at The Majestic Hotel KL. The couple walked in for their bridal entrance hand-in-hand to Coldplay’s Viva La Vida, smiling and waving to their 800 guests, before dinner is served. The highlight of the night was the yam seng session, where over 20 members of the close-knit Yeoh clan, led by family matriarch Puan Sri Kai Yeong Yeoh, gathered onstage for a lively toast. Guests like Tan Sri William Cheng, Elaine Ho and SM Faliq Nasimuddin looked touched when the father of the bride Dato’ Yeoh Seok Kian used his speech to express his admiration for his daughter’s spunk and determination to succeed in life. The young ones stayed on for a ‘love safari’ afterparty, complete with a rodeo bull ride!
