Ellie Furuya, 32, is a Hong Kong-based influencer, the founder of Rii Swim, a swimwear brand, and a mother. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
I grew up in Hong Kong and was raised in a Japanese family. After graduating from an international high school, I spent time in Tokyo, completed my master's degree in London, and eventually returned home.
Deciding that I wanted to marry him was easy, but picking where we wanted to hold our wedding was complicated .
Jon also comes from a mixed background — he was born and raised undefined and grew up undefined, New Delhi, and London — he's half-Thai and half-English.
We got married undefined at Rosewood Phuket, a five-star resort with views of undefined. Looking back, I'd still choose Phuket, but there were certain logistics I'd tackle differently.
We planned our wedding during the dry season, convinced that we'd be safe from rain. But as anyone who's ever experienced tropical weather can attest, you can never be too sure.
On our wedding day, the skies opened up just as I was about to walk down the aisle, transforming our carefully planned outdoor ceremony into a battle against the elements. While we had a glass rain cover for the reception, the aisle itself was not adequately protected, leading to muddy shoes and a slippery situation for my bridal party.
