Heavy rain disrupted the Chiang Mai wedding reception of 987 DJ Germaine Tan and Zouk CEO Andrew Li, forcing the newlyweds and their planners to scramble indoors at the last minute.
Although the outdoor ceremony proceeded without issue, torrential downpours struck just before the evening festivities were scheduled to begin.
“It absolutely poured. We had to abandon ship before anyone even got to see the setup,” Tan stated on Instagram regarding the abrupt weather change.
The star-studded guest list featured numerous local radio personalities and celebrities, welcoming DJs Kimberly Wang, Yasminne Cheng, Justin Ang, and Azura Goh, alongside actresses Tay Ying, Denise Camillia Tan, and Becca Ten.
Because the celebration had to be relocated indoors at the eleventh hour, the venue lacked enough seating for all attendees. However, Tan noted that her guests adapted cheerfully to the tight conditions.
“Seeing the people we love show up for us, rain or shine, and happily eat wherever they could find a spot, sitting or standing, because we definitely didn’t have enough chairs … it meant everything to me,” Tan wrote. She added, “There was so much love, compassion, laughter and, most importantly, tequila in that room.”
Tan expressed deep appreciation for the resort staff and her coordinators at IJ Wedding Planner for pivoting so rapidly under pressure to salvage the event.
“Seeing you all rally last night to move everything indoors showed me just how much care and hard work went into making this happen for us,” she posted, concluding, “Even with the rain, it was perfect.”
The couple initially met earlier in the year before beginning a relationship in December 2022, eventually getting engaged in June 2025.
