Actress Tay Ying & Chef Wu Sihan Are Married! And Their Venue Has A Touching Backstory

Local actress Tay Ying and celebrity chef Wu Sihan tied the knot over the weekend.

“We had the perfect wedding thanks to so many people,” Tay, 29, wrote on social media on June 16, tagging Wu, 33, in the post. “While we take our time to absorb everything that happened this weekend, here are some snippets of Day 2 of our wedding last night.”

The Blockbusters (2024) actress posted four photos from the ceremony, including one in which she was accompanied by her father – actor-producer Zheng Geping – and her uncle and godfather, Hong Weiwen.

Hong is the younger brother of Tay’s mother, actress Hong Huifang. Tay Ying also has a younger brother, singer-actor Calvert Tay, 25.

The wedding was held at Orchard Hotel Singapore with 72 tables and about 700 guests.

According to Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao, Tay Ying and Wu chose the venue as it was where Hong, 64, and Zheng, 61, had held their wedding 32 years ago.

The star-studded affair on June 15 was attended by many current and former local artistes.

The guests included Christopher Lee and his wife Fann Wong, Yvonne Lim and her family, Florence Tan, Vincent Ng, Cassandra See, Chen Xiuhuan, Xiang Yun, Aileen Tan, Jin Yinji, Huang Biren, Tang Miaoling, Cherie Lim, Chen Tianwen, Chen Hanwei, Richard Low and Lin Ruping.

Also on the guest list were younger artistes such as Elvin Ng, Romeo Tan, Rebecca Lim, Chantalle Ng, Desmond Tan, Hong Ling and her husband Nick Teo, as well as Denise Camillia Tan and Xixi Lim.

Tay and Wu met in 2021 at Italian bistro Supply & Demand at Esplanade Mall – where Wu is the head chef – through his cousin, a friend of Tay’s.

Wu proposed to Tay in March 2024, but the couple kept it under wraps for a year before announcing the engagement on social media in March.
