THE
ENGAGEMENT
(5 TO 13 FEBRUARY 2004)
Since
starting The InnCrowd on 20 October 2002, Hai and I have witnessed countless
couples meeting and falling in love in the hostel, so much so that some
backpackers have suggested that we start some kind of dating agency.
An InnCrowd Wedding did not seem like a far-fetched idea at all. We
got one step closer to that on 5 February 2004 when Paul proposed to
his beloved Jacqui and she happily said "yes".
Paul and Jacqui met at the hostel on 21 January 2004. He was Head Chef
for our "Reunion Dinner" on Chinese New Year's Eve and she
was part of our "Cooking Committee". A strong and solid bond
grew steadily as they chopped and sliced away in our kitchen. By the
end of that evening, they were inseparable. Well, sort of. Jacqui went
away to KL for a few days and Paul was miserable. When Jacqui returned,
it was like ying and yang again. Those two have a special connection.
On 5 February 2004, Paul took Jacqui to her favourite building, Parkview
Square, just a stone's throw away from the hostel. He got on his knees
and pleasantly surprised her with his question. Jacqui now wears her
diamond ring proudly and Paul too wears his gold band from Jacqui proudly.
Congratulations to Paul & Jacqui! Stay tuned for their wedding in
October 2004.
