In the 40-second video taken last Friday (Nov 3), it showed how the local coffee shop was transformed into a wedding venue with flower decorations and the couple's wedding bands acting as the centrepiece. 

Even with the wedding decor, the traditional coffee shop aura was maintained with the iconic white tables, wooden stools and Ya Kun staff still manning the counter. 

Kaya toasts and soft-boiled eggs

The couple were all smiles as they exchanged rings and were solemnised in front of the Ya Kun cashier counter.
