Whisper us your yes

Our story, told by lantern light

We got lost on the same trail — and found the rest of our lives.

It began on a night-safari trail in Penang, where two strangers took the same wrong turn and walked out engaged to the idea of each other. Three years of botanical garden dates followed — early jasmine, late fireflies, a thousand slow laps of the same paths — until Arif asked properly, under the very moonflower trellis where the wandering began.

The wrong turn

One night-safari trail, two lost hearts, a single shared torchlight home.

Three years of gardens

Every date a walk among the trees, learning each other the way you learn a favourite path — by heart.

The moonflower trellis

Under the same blossoms that open only at night, Arif knelt — and Lin said yes before he finished asking.

the gardens kept our secret, until now

Counting the nights

Until the garden glows for us

every firefly is practising for the seventh of November

Dawn breaks, mid-page

An Evening in the Gardens

One night, three chapters. Come as the sky turns violet, stay until the lanterns are the only light left. Everything you and your loved ones need to know is here.

Garden welcome

7:30 PM

Drinks and soft music among the palms as the fireflies wake. Come early — the light is at its most tender.

Ceremony

8:00 PM

Vows at the Pavilion, under the open evening sky — the moment three years of garden walks have been leading to.

Dinner under the trellis

8:45 PM

A long table beneath the moonflower trellis — the very one where Arif knelt. Dinner is served as the blossoms open.

Dress code

Garden evening formal. Think moonlit lavenders, deep violets and soft ivories — flat or low heels are kindest to the garden paths.

Getting there

Parking is available at the main entrance on Jalan Kebun Bunga, with a short lantern-lit walk to the Pavilion. Ride-hailing drop-off is at the same gate.

A note for the evening

The night air turns cool after dinner — a shawl is a lovely idea. All dishes served are halal, and we're happy to arrange for dietary needs; just tell us in your RSVP.

The invitation

Come Find Us in the Garden

Every love story needs its witnesses — tell us you'll be there when the fireflies light the way.
