Evelyn Tan and Darren Lim's Journey from Disapproval to Acceptance

Evelyn Tan and Darren Lim, a married couple with four children, recently appeared on the Mediacorp reality travel show Camping Around the World, where they reflected on the early days of their relationship.

Tan's parents initially disapproved of their relationship, particularly her father who chased Lim out of their house one night. Lim felt dejected and worried about losing Tan, especially considering her parents' disapproval and his own educational background. He was aware that Tan's parents, who are university graduates, wanted her to marry someone with greater prospects.

Despite the challenges, Lim was determined to prove himself worthy of Tan. He worked hard and treated her with respect. Over time, Tan's parents came to know the real Lim and accepted him.

Tan, on the other hand, was initially attracted to Lim's childlike charm and maturity. However, the remarks from her friends and family made her cautious. They dated for six years before getting married.

Lim was smitten with Tan from the moment he met her, admiring her voice, gentleness, thoughtfulness, and kindness. He proposed to her shortly after they started dating, though she initially thought he was joking.

Their story highlights the importance of perseverance, understanding, and acceptance in relationships. It also demonstrates that love can overcome challenges and societal expectations.
