Hello everyone! I am Ying, maid of honour and Jen’s best friend.
Let me share with you guys a little about Jen & I. We go way back, 13 years back. We are poly classmates!
The first thing I remember of her from 13 years ago was that she has a lot of shoes. It always makes her laugh when I remind her of that.
Jen, do you remember when we really became best friends? Do you need a little hint? Do you think it was the 9 years of clubbing, 3 times a week? Or was it the time we had our first heart to heart talk? Somehow she has this ability to make me open up to her with her uh-huh look.
To this day, we still have our weekly dinner aka gossip sessions. We’re able to talk about everything and anything. And that’s one of the things that I love about her.
Thinking about it, it kinda amazes me that we are BFF. In some ways, we are as different as night and day. She’s a chatterbox, I am not. She’s a girly-girl who likes shoes, bags and shopping but I am a 5 minutes-shopper. But when we are together, everything gels perfectly.
We get each other, she understands and she supports me in whatever I do. She’s someone who’s always in your corner, always there when you need her. And this, ladies and gentleman is what makes me love Jen.

Jeff, lucky you to marry my beautiful Jen. From the weekly meetings I have with your wife, I realize you are the perfect man for her. You are smart, caring, funny and always thinking of ways to love and keep my little friend safe & happy. Thank you, Jeff.

To love, laughter and happily ever after…
Congratulations again Mr and Mrs Chong !
