Hong Kong banker Catherine Tan weds Kevin Lepsoe in Canada
Couple share a love of the outdoors and a hearty steak dinner at the end of the day
Long hours in the office were more tolerable for Kevin Lepsoe when he was able to peek at Catherine Tan sitting in her cubicle. "Catherine was the only person I knew in the industry who smiled at the office. How could I not be attracted to that," he said.
Although Kevin was smitten by Catherine's radiant smile and warm personality, she did not notice him at first.
"I thought he was quiet and very serious," she said. "But outside work, his personality is quite the opposite. He has the best sense of humour of anyone I know. And that can make any dark day seem bright."
Kevin said he made up random excuses to meet Catherine outside work.
"Then the first time I saw her coincidentally at a club she ignored me," he said. "I thought, typical Hong Kong girl. So I played the typical Hong Kong banker and annoyed her until she went on a date with me."
