In the heart of Singapore, a couple recently tied the knot in a celebration that echoed their shared passion for anime. The bride, known as Sofy, shared snippets of their extraordinary day on TikTok, revealing a wedding that defied tradition in the most whimsical way possible.
Guests Transform into Anime Icons
Breaking away from the conventional wedding norms, Sofy and her husband, Yanming, urged their guests to embrace the world of cosplay.
Attendees graced the occasion dressed as beloved characters from iconic anime series such as “One Piece,” “Jujutsu Kaisen,” “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” and the timeless “Pokémon.” The bridesmaids and groomsmen, not to be outdone, donned outfits inspired by “Attack on Titan,” marching down the aisle to the beats of an anime soundtrack.
A Whirlwind of Fun and Surprise
Choosing an anime-themed wedding was no random decision for Sofy and Yanming. Wanting to infuse their special day with a dash of uniqueness and sheer fun, the couple embraced the idea suggested by a friend.

Anime: The Thread of Their Love
For Sofy and Yanming, anime played a pivotal role in their journey as a couple. “Attack on Titan” held special significance, being one of the first series Yanming introduced to Sofy during the early days of their relationship. The anime, with its gripping storyline, quickly became a shared favorite, symbolizing the essence of their connection.
Coincidentally, the wedding date aligned with the finale of “Attack on Titan,” adding an extra layer of serendipity to their celebration. The couple, seizing the opportunity, organized a photo and video shoot with their bridal party against a nature backdrop, recreating the enchanting atmosphere of their cherished anime.
Heartwarming Moments and Gratitude
As family members arrived dressed as characters from Yanming’s childhood anime favorites, Sofy and her husband experienced a deeply heartwarming moment. Grateful for the support and enthusiasm of their loved ones, Sofy expressed her thanks, stating, “We are very very thankful to have supportive and enthusiastic family and friends who are willing to cosplay for our wedding.”
