A love story on the green

Featuring Kelvin Yu and Bea Gelle

Kelvin and Bea’s love story began in the digital age, a tale of modern romance sparked by a dating app. “We matched on February 13,” Kel recounts, “and after a few days of talking non-stop, I knew she was someone special.” Bea adds with a smile, “Our first meeting felt like reuniting with an old friend.”

Their journey together was marked by shared passions, including weekends on the golf course and spontaneous trips. “We weren’t just growing as a couple,” Bea reflects, “but alongside each other, supporting our dreams every step of the way.”

The proposal, set against the backdrop of New York City after a music tour, caught Bea off guard despite her suspicions. “Kel kept his cool so well,” she laughs, “that I thought I was wrong about the timing. Then he surprised me, and I couldn’t have been happier.”

For their wedding at Hilltop Mimosa, a venue dear to their hearts for its lush greenery and scenic views, every detail was meticulously chosen to reflect their shared interests and personal histories. “We wanted it to feel like a warm embrace,” Kelvin explains, “surrounded by loved ones who have been part of our journey.”

Italian appetizers from Kelvin’s family restaurant, Francesco’s, added a personal touch to the celebration, highlighting their commitment to family and tradition. “Seeing our guests enjoy the food was incredibly fulfilling,” Kelvin recalls, “it was like sharing a piece of our lives with them.”

Their wedding was not just an event but an experience carefully crafted to showcase their personalities. From personalized wedding materials designed by the couple themselves to a unique photo gallery of family wedding pictures, every element spoke of their journey together.

Highlighting their love for golf, the wedding featured a golf-themed aesthetic woven into everything from prenup photos to the decor. The entertainment lineup, including a surprise performance by The Itchyworms and a memorable “marryoke” session, added a fun and personal touch to the festivities.

Reflecting on their theme, Kelvin sums it up perfectly: “Our golf theme isn’t just about the sport; it’s about our shared love for the outdoors and finding joy in every moment together.”

Despite last-minute challenges like forgotten cufflinks and unpredictable weather, their wedding day unfolded beautifully, culminating in heartfelt performances and moments they will cherish forever. “It was the experience we created,” Bea reflects, “that made it uniquely ours.”

Kelvin Yu and Bea Gelle’s wedding was more than a celebration of love; it was a testament to their journey, filled with laughter, surprises, and the warmth of shared memories. As they embark on this new chapter together, their wedding remains a cherished milestone—a day that truly reflected who they are as individuals and as a couple deeply in love.
