POV: Your colleague steals your hashbrown… and ends up becoming your husband. 😂
Some office romances start with coffee.
Theirs started with projects, overtime… and a missing hashbrown. 🍟
👨🏻💻👩🏻💻 Wesley & Vanessa met at NCS as fresh software engineers from the same intake. Fate had other plans when Wesley joined the team a month later than his university friends, landing him in the very project that paired him with Vanessa.
From late-night OT sessions…
🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️ Walking all the way from Yio Chu Kang to Yishun after midnight.
🥼 Playfully using his jacket to “whack” her at the interchange.
🍟 Accidentally eating her hashbrown without realising it belonged to her.
🎨 Drawing a hilarious black-faced, exploded-hair version of Vanessa on a Post-it and secretly sticking it on her laptop.
Six months later, colleagues became a couple.
Four amazing years later, Wesley took Vanessa on a helicopter ride over beautiful Bali… where he asked the question that changed their lives forever. 💍🚁
When asked why they chose each other:
❤️ Wesley: “She’s just so cute.”
❤️ Vanessa: “He always puts me first… especially making sure I’m never hungry.”
Sometimes, forever doesn’t begin with grand gestures.
Sometimes…
It begins with overtime, shared walks home, and a stolen hashbrown. ❤️
Congratulations, Wesley & Vanessa! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your beautiful wedding lunch at the elegant Grand Hyatt Singapore on 21 June 2026. Wishing both of you a lifetime filled with laughter, adventures, and countless meals together (with no more stolen hashbrowns… unless it’s worth it 😉).

Office romances often begin in the most unexpected ways, and Wesley and Vanessa’s story is a perfect example of how small, seemingly trivial moments can blossom into lifelong love. As two fresh engineers from NCS, they found themselves connected first by work and then by whimsically shared experiences—late-night overtime, long walks from Yio Chu Kang to Yishun, and playful moments like a jacket 'whack' and post-it doodles. These small interactions built a foundation of trust, warmth, and camaraderie which naturally grew to love. What stands out in their story is how simple acts—such as sharing meals and even accidental hashbrown thefts—became meaningful symbols of care and connection. Food often plays a surprising role in love stories, providing comfort and opportunities for bonding; here, the stolen hashbrown was a catalyst that sparked smiles and eventual romance. Their relationship also highlights an important aspect of office romances: balancing professionalism with personal connection. By navigating projects and late-night work while nurturing their feelings, they exemplify how mutual respect and genuine friendship are essential before romance. The special proposal during a helicopter ride over Bali reflects their adventurous spirit and commitment. Choosing a beautiful, memorable setting makes the moment truly life-changing and unforgettable. For those experiencing or contemplating office romances, Wesley and Vanessa’s journey offers inspiration. It shows that even amid deadlines and overtime, love can flourish through shared experiences, kindness, and a bit of humor. And sometimes, what starts as a simple stolen hashbrown can lead to a lifetime of happiness together. From their story, one can appreciate that lasting relationships aren’t always born from grand gestures but from everyday moments filled with care and laughter—moments anyone can cherish in their own love life or workplace connections.
