A Filipino couple who are fans of Crazy Rich Asians lived out their fantasy with a lavish wedding inspired by the film in Singapore last week.
Multiple news outlets reported that the bride JM Tiongco and the groom Abbie Caram had wanted their wedding to look like the one of fictional characters Araminta Lee and Colin Khoo in the film version of the bestselling novel by Kevin Kwan.
According to the bride’s sister, Mary Golez, Crazy Rich Asians is her family’s “comfort movie.”
