Jocelyn Kong thought K.C. Chan was a bit of a playboy when they first met a decade ago studying at the London School of Economics. Ten years on, the picture could not be more different.
Jocelyn, 28, a client advocate with a compliance advisory firm, and 30-year-old wedding photographer K.C. will walk down the aisle of St Teresa's Church in Kowloon today, then celebrate in the ballroom of the Sheraton hotel.
'At first I didn't even like him,' Jocelyn said. 'Rumours involving him were always about some girl he'd just hit it off with. He was probably the last person I'd ever think of going out with [back then].'
Also, she had always wanted an arty type as a life partner, whereas K.C. was studying economics and wanted to be a banker.
As it turned out, K.C. was the most arty guy Jocelyn had ever met, and he also turned out to be her Mr Right.
Although they had been friends since 2002, the couple didn't warm to each other until they were back working in Hong Kong. By 2008, Jocelyn was working at Citibank and K.C. was with Barclays Capital. Their offices were in the same building so they sometimes met up for lunch.
'I felt very comfortable talking to him, probably because we'd been friends for so long,' Jocelyn said. 'I found her to be a very kind and warm-hearted person,' he said.
