Where it all began ...

So, where did the union of Po Po and Gong Gong occur? How did they meet?

Matchmaker 1
(L-R) Unknown, third Lau Yee's husband, his mother, third Lau Yee, Gong Gong (grandpa), Lau Gu's wife (Grandma's sister-in-law), First Lau Gu (Grandma's brother)

Po Po was introduced to Gong Gong by Third Lau Yee's (Po Po's third sister) mother-in-law when she came to Singapore. She is seated to the right of Gong Gong in the photo above. No details have been given in regards to how she was related to both their families initially. Was she a match-maker or friends of both their families? Why did Po Po come to Singapore? Was it to meet the man that she would eventually marry?

I would also like to know how long it took for them to get acquainted and get married. Did they go on any dates like we are used to, or was it the traditional "Let's get to know each other after we get married.".

I hope someone will be able to enlighten us further.
