Simon Khung and Chloe Eong, also known as Simonboy and Simongirl, exchanged vows at a wedding dinner held on Jul. 19 at the Concorde Hotel Singapore.

The couple registered their marriage on Jul. 7.

The dinner was attended by 59 tables of guests, many of them celebrities and fellow influencers. Among those spotted were Chen Xiuhuan, Zheng Geping, Jack Neo and Zhu Houren.

One of the highlights of the dinner was when the pair took the stage to give their respective speeches, which were mostly delivered in Mandarin.

Eong said:

"I want to thank my husband, who will fight shoulder to shoulder with me from today.

[...]

I choose you not because I’m in my 30s, and I want to get married and have children soon, but because I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Khung quipped, "I used to be a paikia (troublemaker), so I couldn't cry. But today, I’m a new man, so I’m allowed to."

Among those he thanked during his speech were his in-laws, as he admitted, "If I were her parents, I would’ve been worried about my daughter being with someone like me too.”

His voice cracked as he called his stepfather "dad", thanking him for being there for him since he was about five or six.

Khung recalled his stepfather teaching him swimming when he said he wanted to learn how to, and bringing him to buy photographs of Fann Wong when he mentioned that he liked the actress.

His voice trembled as he said that he will look after him in his golden years.

Khung ended off his speech with:

"To my most beloved wife. We’ve waited for three years, and this day has finally come. Thank you for being with me, and thank you for teaching me what it means by we will celebrate our wins and losses together.

I can tell everyone here that my wife will not leave me even if I lose everything, because I had nothing when we first started out. One day, even if I lose everything I’ll continue living a good life because I have the most important person by my side.

She's never looked down on me even when I had S$50 in my pocket [...] she's never minded that I went to jail, nor [any part of] my past. It’s because of [my wife] that I’ve achieved what I have today.

In the past three years, I haven’t been the best boyfriend, but in the next 30, 40 years, I’ll be the best husband. All I want is to be with you for the rest of my life."
