Man Flies Helper Back To Surprise Sister At Wedding, She Spent 27 Years Working For Family
Domestic helpers often forge strong bonds with the families they work for, especially if they’ve spent years, if not decades together.
In the case of newlywed Kelly Chua, her bond with her helper of 27 years remained unbreakable even after the latter returned to her homeland three years ago.
To surprise Ms Chua during her recent wedding, her brother flew their family’s helper in for a long-awaited reunion — the pair couldn’t help but shed happy tears as they embraced each other on the big day.

Calling it “the biggest wedding surprise ever”, Kelly expressed how grateful she was to see the helper at her wedding.
Man surprises sister with their helper at her wedding
The touching moment was shared on Ms Chua’s TikTok account on Thursday (28 Apr).

Ms Chua immediately started bursting into tears, while Lita waved at her with teary eyes.
The pair shared an emotional embrace while surrounded by family members, who also started tearing up.
Brother had planned surprise from the start
If the heartwarming reunion wasn’t emotional enough, Ms Chua said that her brother actually “had it all planned from the start”.
Ms Chua wrote in her caption that she initially thought Lita couldn’t make it to her wedding as she didn’t manage to renew her passport.
Speaking to AsiaOne, Ms Chua shared that everyone in the family knew about the surprise except her.
Lita had apparently stayed with Ms Chua’s aunt and grandma before the wedding day and they even gave her money to buy clothes for the big occasion.
Ms Chua added that it “meant (means) so much to her (me)” that Lita was able to attend her wedding, as she was like her second mother to her.
