Eric Sy Uy and Reena Tee finally tie the knot amid the pandemic in a gorgeous nature-filled venue at Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club after being in a long-distance relationship for years
Distance had kept Eric Sy Uy and Reena Tee apart since 2012 when Reena had to move to Hong Kong to pursue her career. The couple took their time to grow, as they both seemed to understand each other’s needs. “He respected [the decision], that’s why it took some time before we got [married].
After a few years, we both knew that we would eventually need to think of how to close the gap. Eric proposed to me in 2019, near the place where he grew up in Bavaria, at Germany’s highest mountain, Zugspitze,” Reena shared.
The couple had envisioned an intimate wedding, surrounded by vineyards and greeneries, in the south of France in September 2020. However, the pandemic compelled them to change their plans to a safer time for travelling since most of their guests would have to fly from different parts of the world.
Reena couldn’t help but share her dismay when she first realised that the original plan had to be postponed. “It was a lot of ups and downs and uncertainties. It also didn’t help that we were both separated for nine months as I was in Hong Kong [and] Eric was in Manila. When our original wedding was postponed, we were both disappointed. I think that has pushed us to revise our plans and make this Manila wedding possible.”
