Just last year, ex-Night Owl Cinematics talent Samantha Tan was having a rough time after finding herself at the centre of some shocking drama, where her ex-boss Sylvia Chan allegedly discriminated against and used vulgarities on her. But with the support of her loved ones, Samantha bounced back from this past hurt, eventually scoring a role in Jack Neo’s “Ah Girls Go Army” and getting engaged to her boyfriend, Julius.

Or her ex-boyfriend, should we say...because Julius is now her husband! Yes, as of 22 October 2022 (a very nice 22/10/2022), 28-year-old Samantha is now a married woman, and here’s a glimpse of how the big day went down, with a surprise “appearance” by her number one idol, Song Joong Ki.

Samantha and Julius had their marriage solemnisation at the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, a gorgeous Catholic church with Gothic architecture that also happens to be a national monument.

With her hair styled in a face-framing bun, Samantha wore a simple but elegant mermaid-style gown with a sweetheart neckline, paired with a long, flowing train.

Before Samantha made her grand entrance, some little stars - i.e., a whole posse of children holding single stalks of sunflowers - took the limelight. We’re talking at least 10 kids here, based on the photos she uploaded.

Being a pre-school teacher, it’s no surprise that Samantha loves children, and while it’s pretty unconventional to have such a huge crew of flower girls and boys for one’s wedding, we can’t say that this was uncharacteristic of the big-hearted Samantha. It has not been specified who these children are, but it is possible that a number of them are her students.

Julius looked delighted throughout the ceremony, while Samantha’s emotions seemed to be running high, where she was captured on camera shedding more than a few tears.

Later on, the wedding party adjourned to Parkroyal on Beach Road for their wedding banquet, in a ballroom that was beautifully decorated with tons of florals.

Among attendance were famous faces such as Jack Neo, ex-NOC founder Ryan Tan and girlfriend Cherylene Chan, other ex-NOC friends, and the “Ah Girls Go Army” crew including Glenn Yong, Kelly Kimberly, and Xixi Lim.

But the biggest celebrity appearance of the night? Samantha’s top Korean idol, Song Joong Ki - or, in this case, Song Joong Ki-siao.

In a well-orchestrated surprise, Xiao Ming from SGAG (who recently became a dad!) put on a Song Joong Ki mask, burst through the ballroom’s doors, and went on stage where the couple was.

While perhaps not everyone would appreciate surprise interruptions to their wedding especially after all the planning involved, this hilarious tidbit had Samantha shrieking with laughter and clapping her hands excitedly.

We wish Samantha and Julius a lifetime of joy as they embark on their new journey together as husband and wife. Congratulations!
