The Wedding Of Debbie and Timothy

Tell us about your journey together, from how you met, to what the proposal was like!

We matched on Bumble at the end of April 2023. Timothy was my first online date EVER and I really did not expect to meet the love of my life on a random Saturday morning in May. Everything went so fast. We unofficially moved in with each other two weeks after our first date and started talking about getting married soon after. Sometimes, when you know, you just know.

The proposal took place in January 2024 on a rock pier in Langkawi, Malaysia. Under the guise of taking a sunset photo with my back to the camera, I was caught completely unaware by four separate cameras and the love of my life down on one knee with a rock in his hand and tears in his eyes. He could barely manage more than a few sentences due to being extremely emotional, but words weren’t necessary at this point anymore. After he asked, “Will you marry me?”, I said yes and made unintelligible whale noises when I saw the ring and screamed loud enough that the next island could hear. We then went to a restaurant for dinner to celebrate. One of the highlights of our lives so far.

What does marriage mean to you?

For us, marriage means committing to a partnership for life with your significant other. It is making the decision to love the other person every day for the rest of time and supporting each other through the dark times in life. Additionally and very importantly, building a safe place and stable home for children to grow up in and support them through their lives too.

What, besides the obvious ‘I Do’, was your favourite part of your wedding?

The favorite part of our wedding was definitely being able to celebrate our forever love with our friends and family from all over the world. Timothy and I danced for hours and drank too much while being surrounded by so much support and love. It was magical!

What’s the best piece of advice you can give other brides to be?

Stay focused on the goal and do not get caught up in the nitty gritty… it is a once in a lifetime experience.

Why did you choose Victoria Park?

Victoria Park was the perfect wedding location for us! From the stunning outdoor ceremony to the breathtaking parklands, every detail exceeded our expectations. The parklands were absolutely perfect for our photoshoot, providing a beautiful backdrop for our special moments. The Garden Marquee was amazing, creating the ideal atmosphere for our celebration. Our day was truly magical, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue. Highly recommend Victoria Park to any couple looking for a picturesque and unforgettable place to say ‘I do’!

A special thanks to those who helped bring Debbie and Timothy’s dream day to life.
