Childhood sweethearts marry at The Repulse Bay after 23 year separation
Wilson Ng moved to America two decades ago, but there was one girl he just couldn't forget …
Childhood puppy love often fades like a summer haze, but that wasn't the case for Sarah Ho and Wilson Ng.
Fashion print designer Sarah, 28, and accountant Wilson, 29, tied the knot on October 20 at The Repulse Bay after meeting as young children.
"Our mums were best friends and when they met, all the kids used to play together," Sarah said. "I remember clearly that Wilson was my partner for this silly game we used to play. When his family left for America, I refused to partner up with any other boys. In fact, I stopped playing that game for good."
Although they didn't see each other for more than 20 years, Sarah never forgot her first love. "When we reunited, he looked exactly the way I had imagined and had a smile that almost made me pass out," she said.
Wilson felt the same when he met Sarah again about a year ago in London, where she was studying fashion design at Central Saint Martins.
"I lost communication with Sarah when my family relocated, but every once in a while I would miss her," he said.
