In what feels like a script straight out of a romantic drama, @chanellingchanel_ and her fiancé, Wong, revisited their alma mater for a pre-wedding shoot that radiated pure affection. School uniforms adorned, they recreated tender moments in familiar spots—the school hall resonating with laughter, a classroom echoing with shared secrets.
Behind the Scenes: Capturing the Magic
Uploaded on Dec. 13, their TikTok video takes us behind the scenes of this endearing shoot. The captions playfully invite us into the narrative: “POV: You’re finally marrying your first love & your wedding shots were taken in your school.” It’s an intimate peek into a love story that blossomed where friendship once stood.
From Classroom Encounters to Lifetime Companionship

Let’s rewind to 2013, where teenage whispers echoed in the classroom. Li and Wong, just 15, found themselves side by side, thanks to a teacher’s matchmaking whim. Li recalls, “I was loud and extroverted, he was quiet and shy. One day, our teacher sat me next to him, hoping it would make me talk less. But little did we know, we fell in love instead.”
A Decade of Love and Support
Fast forward a decade, and the couple’s bond stands stronger than ever. Wong became Li’s unwavering support, especially during the challenging times brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2020, as Li faced a career shift from being an air stewardess, Wong stood by her side, actively contributing to the inception of her baking business, Whisking Bakes.
Viral Love: TikTok’s Seal of Approval
Li’s TikTok video, showcasing their pre-wedding bliss, struck a chord with online audiences. Surpassing 434,000 views and accumulating over 42,000 likes, the comments section overflowed with admiration. The verdict? This couple is not just sweet; they are downright amazing.
Forever Young: A Playful Nod to the Past
As the virtual applause resonated, one TikTok user cheekily pointed out that the couple seemed to defy time, effortlessly fitting into their school uniforms. A playful nod to the enduring youthfulness of a love that started in the classrooms of Punggol Secondary School.
In revisiting the corridors of Punggol Secondary School, Chanel Li and Wong Jia Jie not only captured beautiful moments but also immortalized the magic of a love that began in the classrooms and has now transcended time.
