But on their way to the wedding ceremony on June 21, she was shocked when he sprung a pre-nuptial agreement on her.
They quarrelled, she called off the wedding and, two days later, whisked their 18-month-old daughter back to Singapore without telling him - leading to a cross-border custody battle.
In cases involving toddlers born out of wedlock, custody usually goes to the mother. But this time, the father wants the child to live with him, and has accused the mother of taking the girl from her home in Hong Kong.
