Unlike Ms Lim who has never been married, Mr Quah is a widower. The former football star lost his wife in 2007 to cancer.

Ms Lim told Channel NewsAsia (CNA) that the wedding will take place in a church with family in attendance.

Just this morning (25 Oct), the happy couple shared that they had received their custom-made wedding rings straight from Kyoto, Japan.

“Yes we will! Complete what we started almost 12 years ago,” said Ms Lim.
