MALACCA, Sat: It was a historic moment in the annals of the Malacca Bar.
Jaspal Singh Gill and Fiona Tan, both members of the
Malacca Bar Committee, finally tied the knot after a long and illustrious
9–year courtship.
They met each other 12 years ago during their chambering days. Their
friendship blossomed into courtship and they started dating 3 years later.
The word ‘courtship’ connotes not only a “get to know you better” dating
process. For Jaspal and Fiona, it also meant appearing at opposing ends in
the courtroom and playing mixed doubles together on the badminton court.
Their long and illustrious courtship culminated in a grand wedding dinner
yesterday at the Renaissance Hotel, Melaka. The bridegroom said, “9 years is
a long time…but I am glad to be able to marry my best friend and soul mate.”
For those of us who have the privilege of knowing Jaspal and Fiona, we know that they share many things in common: the legal profession, a love for sports, a passionate commitment to serve the Bar and a great warmth towards people. It was a joy to witness the coming together of these two persons, as symbolised in their wedding ceremony which perfectly blends both Punjabi and Chinese customs into a unique celebration of love.
The Malaysian Bar takes this opportunity to wish both Jaspal and Fiona a “Happy Marriage and a Wonderful Love Journey Ahead!”
