Benjamin Yong and Elizabeth Lee

Wedding bells are in store for Benjamin Yong, founder of The BIG Group, and his fiancee, Elizabeth Lee, one half of the dynamic sister duo behind Bowerhaus. In anticipation of the wedding in October, an intimate tea party was held by the bride-to-be's sister and business partner, Shen-Tel Lee, to celebrate the union. 

Guests who attended the intimate tea party included mother of the bride, Dame Betty Lee (OSJ), mother of the groom, Helen Read, and a handful of their closest friends like Sereni Linggi, Datin Dian Lee, Lexie Rodriguez, and Joseph Teoh. Games galore took place during the kitchen-themed party, where everyone designed a plate for the couple, which will be turned into actual plates as souvenir, and a wedding dress designing competition using only toilet paper. Guests were seen scrambling to one up each other's designs before the winner was selected by Elizabeth herself.

The fun-filled afternoon concluded with everyone reading out their wishes to the soon-to-be bride and groom for more laughter, joy and love in the years ahead. Topping the list of wishes was Dame Betty's advice, which read, "The key to Elizabeth's heart is pleasing her mother," that showcased the matriarch's sense of humour.
