Bjorn Schmal • May 27, 2023

Love has a remarkable way of defying distance and boundaries. When Cheryl and Luke met in a hostel while backpacking, they had no idea that their chance encounter would set the stage for an extraordinary love story. From navigating the challenges of a long-distance relationship to Cheryl's decision to move from Singapore to Australia, their wedding day became the symbol of their commitment and the beginning of a new chapter. Their shared love for exploration and adventure laid the foundation for a deep and meaningful bond that would span across continents. Their meeting became the catalyst for a remarkable journey together.

Through countless hours spent on video calls and numerous flights, they held on to the belief that their love was worth fighting for. Cheryl's family and friends traveled from Singapore to join the celebration, adding an extra layer of joy to the wedding day. The coming together of two cultures and families marked the beginning of a new chapter in Cheryl and Luke's lives. Their wedding day was a testament to their love, bringing together loved ones from across the globe to witness their commitment to each other. They had some truly glamourous wedding photos at the Q1 Skypoint 360 lounge, the wedding video really captures the amazing views, check it out below!
