Dubbed ‘the queen of RichTok’, Rebecca Ma splurged over US$6 million on her recent Italian nuptials – but her wedding invitations have the internet talking, too ...
The wedding wasn’t without its hiccups, however. Before the lavish event, keen-eyed netizens noticed embarrassing grammatical errors on the couple’s ornate wedding invitations. The stationery included the phrase, “Request the pleasure of your company of your presence,” alongside the unusually formal, “Three Thirty O’Clock in the Afternoon.”
Pownall graduated from the University of British Columbia and previously worked as a software engineer at Google, per Town & Country. These days, he’s a software developer at Amazon.
Explaining why there were only 60 guests at the wedding, Bloom told Vogue that she and Pownall are both introverts. “The thought of reading our vows in front of hundreds of people felt daunting,” she said, adding that they are also “nerds” who love numbers, puzzles, baking and crafts.
Bloom also revealed that Pownall’s wedding vows brought the assembled guests to tears. “David’s vows were more private, but he ended with words that left no one untouched. [He had] a line about wanting mine to be the only face he sees on his last day, and the only hand he holds as he meets God. There wasn’t a single dry eye,” she added.
