PETALING JAYA: The dating game is over for TV personality and ESPN Star Sports presenter Soo Kui Jien and Channel [V] VJ Sarah Tan. The couple will be tying the knot at a low-key reception on Dec 21 at a resort in Bali, Indonesia.

Following a two-and-a-half-year romance, the couple have finally found the time to exchange marriage vows.

"We've always talked about it and have been wanting to do it but have just not found the time ... until now," said the 35-year-old Jien, as he's affectionately known.

While the romance has been sweet, Jien said the proposal process wasn't quite the finished article.

"I'd like to lie and tell you that it was romantic, but it was typically us," he laughed.

Jien had attempted to get a ring in Singapore, where the couple is based, but could not find the right fit.

"I finally found one that fit perfectly while I was in KL. While I was at her parents' place, I asked their permission and then proposed to her. She was upset with me because I had come home late the previous day but she still agreed," he said of his 27-year-old bride-to-be.
