We celebrate our wedding anniversary on 19 May. How quickly the years have passed! Being married isn't so much a done deal in the past tense but a present continuous act of choosing to be husband and wife to each other, daily. We thank you, our family and friends, for walking with us on this journey. And we thank God for the gift of life and love.
The email that started it all...
THEME
We wanted our wedding to be a holy and worthy celebration, filled with good food and drink, cause as little waste as possible, and lead to social good. We shared our joy with the following communities, and hope you'll lend them your support too:
Milk & Diapers Project
This is a grassroots community programme which aims to alleviate the hardship of low income families by providing milk and diapers for their children, aged 0-4 years.
There are currently 46 families (60 children) being helped in Bukit Batok, Teck Whye, Boon Lay, Kitchener Road, Dover, Woodlands, and Marine Parade.
We donated $1000 to the Milk & Diapers Project .
Bettr Barista
This coffee academy equips women and youth-at-risk with the necessary skills to brew a wicked cup of coffee and find sustainable employment. A portion of the revenue from their retail coffee bars are also channelled towards funding bursaries, financial literacy, and career development initiatives for underprivileged tertiary students.
The coffee was roasted, brewed, and served by Bettr Barista. Coffee grounds went towards fertilising Foodscape Collective's urban farms.
MINDS Bakers
The Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore initiated MINDS Bakers as a therapeutic way to cultivate positive work behaviour among its clients. They started with a small team of 5 clients and 1 training officer, flipped to the easiest recipe from a cookbook, and baked their first batch of cookies. Today, they offer more than 10 different types of cookies and other treats for organisations and events.
Our dinner door gifts were prepared by MINDS Bakers.
