In an era where couples are constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity for their special day, a Singaporean couple has taken unconventional to a whole new level.
They chose to celebrate their union not in a grand ballroom or a beachside locale, but at a place close to every Singaporean’s heart – the Ya Kun Kaya Toast outlet at Far East Square.
This unique venue selection not only turned heads but also captured the hearts of many, as evidenced by a TikTok video of the wedding shared by a friend of the bride, which garnered over 200,000 views.
The video showcased the couple solemnizing their marriage in front of the Ya Kun cashier counter, transforming the everyday breakfast spot into a romantic wedding venue.
Ya & Kun, the bride and the groom
The reason behind this unique choice?
It’s as charming as it is personal: the bride has ‘Ya’ in her Chinese name, and the groom’s name includes ‘Kun’, making ‘Ya Kun’ a symbolic and sentimental choice for their big day.
Their mutual fondness for the breakfast served at Ya Kun added another layer of personal connection to the venue.
Describing the wedding, a guest shared with WeirdKaya, “I loved it! It was unique, meaningful, and intimate.”

The setting allowed for a more personal and cozy celebration, which clearly resonated with the guests.
True to the venue’s essence, the couple served their traditional Set A breakfast, though guests had the flexibility to tweak their drink choices.
This Ya Kun wedding beautifully illustrates that sometimes the most memorable weddings are those that truly reflect the couple’s shared stories and passions, even if it means exchanging vows over kaya toast and coffee.
