Our love story

2020

Started going out

2021

Our favorite past time — eating out. (Caused Jasmine to gain more than 10 kilos LOL) Also, we like going on adventure dates.

2022

Our first out of the country travel (Singapore and Malaysia)

2023

Yet another out of the country adventure in Thailand. This taught us a lot, and we got to know each other more deeply.

2024

#TaiwantItThatWay
Spent a couple of days in Taiwan. Ate good food, and visited an animal shelter among others.

2025

More Asian Adventure — this time in Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam and Indonesia. We also started planning for our wedding this year. Here’s to more adventures and travels together.

Unplugged Ceremony

We're keeping our day private and unplugged. We’d like to request that you keep the aisle PHONE & CAMERA FREE during the ceremony. No phones and social media posting during the ceremony. Please allow us to share/post official photos & videos before you do.

Our official photographers and videographer will capture every aspect of our ceremony. We request joyful smiles without the distraction of electronic devices.

Our vows may be unplugged but the reception is not. Please put them away until we Tie-The-Knot.

The ceremony starts exactly at 4:00 PM.

We recommend coming by an hour early so you have time to get settled, and to avoid delays.

May we also remind you to have a light snack before going to the event, as dinner will be served after the ceremony.

It is important for us to determine the number of guests coming. If you do not fill-out the RSVP on time, we will understand that you are not available to celebrate with us.

Unfortunately, no. We hope you understand that we're unable to accommodate those who are not in our guest list due to limited seats. Each seat has a name assigned.

Due to budget restrictions, we've carefully chosen our wedding guests. We don’t want unexpected circumstances that will put us in financial distress after the wedding. We only allotted our budget to the people we invited. Aside from that we are at capacity with our venue which means we are sadly unable to accommodate additional guests. We look forward to celebrating with you on the day!

Please fill-out this RSVP form → Jonell & Jasmine Wedding RSVP

We certainly love your kids, but due to necessity rather than choice, we regretfully cannot accommodate them at the venue.

The only kids attending are those who are part of the entourage. We hope you understand and enjoy the night off.

We’ve arranged seat allocations according to the guest RSVP. Please only occupy the seat reserved for you.

We encourage all guests to be mindful of your occupied table, and not occupy more than one seat.

You will be responsible for your own belongings during the event. There won’t be any baggage counters available.

The event may contain flashing lights and patterns that may be harmful to some individuals. Please be aware and take appropriate precautions.

Due to the historic nature of the venue, there are stairs and uneven pathways, and it is not wheelchair accessible. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
