Myolie On Marriage & Making Brides Happy

Hong Kong singer-actress and our cover girl Myolie Wu, who married businessman Philip Lee in a romantic, star-studded December celebration last year, talks about love, marriage, and opening the bridal salon Kevolie

Myolie was in Singapore when Nuyou magazine editor Terence Lee asked her if she’d like to be this issue’s cover girl. Of course, she said yes. However, unlike many other Hong Kong celebs, who simply cannot get around without a posse of assistants, Myolie showed up at our studio promptly at 10 am with just her personal assistant, and two suitcases of beautiful wedding and evening gowns – including the ones in these pages – from Kevolie, the bridal salon she co-owns with Hong Kong stylist Kev Yiu.

Up close, Myolie looked younger than her 36 years. Her skin, sans makeup, was luminous and practically flawless. Her luscious pout, also bare, was pillowy.

Known for her youthful mien and bubbly personality, the award-winning actress is also well known for many notable dramas and movies, like Triumph In The Skies, Ghetto Justice and Curse Of The Royal Harem.

After the shoot, Myolie graciously answered all our questions – and we had lots!

What does love mean to you? 

Love is very powerful. It makes everything okay. If there are any problems that can’t be worked out, love will turn the tide and pull you through. Love also means compromising and sacrificing. It can give you courage to do things you never thought you’d ever do.

How did you know Philip was the one for you?

It wasn’t love at first sight, but I knew he was my type the moment we met. For a relationship to blossom, you have to get to know each other better, and there needs to be chemistry between you.

After our first meeting, we stayed in touch by chatting regularly as well as exchanging Whatsapp messages to understand each other’s values, how we wanted to live our lives, and what we envisaged for a future together. Everything fell into place perfectly – and pretty fast.
