Jeremy Chan’s “Disney‑Deny” Proposal Drive
When the Hollywood‑style pair Jeremy Chan and actress Jesseca Liu booked a romantic Japanese escape, the actor was already geared up with the perfect “tech‑savvy” angle: donate a Disneyland mascot costume for a roll‑out of the ring. But it turned out the character that said “no” was not Jesseca, but the Kingdom of Dreams itself.
The Disney Ice‑Cold Rejection
During a sit‑down on meWATCH’s Hear U Out, Jeremy, 41, shot back: “I emailed Disneyland to borrow a mascot costume for my big moment, but the parks called me back with a flat ‘I’m sorry’.” He sighed, saying he’d have to keep that heavy bag in the hotel room and that his girlfriend had urged him to ditch it.
Tokyo’s Sweet Spot Saves the Day
Just when eyebrows were about to rise, the duo’s very last day in Tokyo flipped the script. Over the luminous decks of the Tokyo Skytree, Jesseca mused, “The desserts here are insane.” That was the cue for Jeremy’s daring; clutching a cake with a sparkling “Will you marry me?” carved on the plate, he drew the waiter in with his limited Japanese and some impromptu miming.
- He kneel‑down in the middle of the street (or at least a posh restaurant).
- He declared his sincerity and a tear‑provoking smile.
- Jesseca nodded “yes” while wiping a tear of pure joy.
Speed‑Dating…. to the Ring (2017)
Although the pair had tied the knot early in their relationship, they held the ceremony only after a year, in Langkawi 2017. In past chats, Jeremy admitted the wait was practical: the couple didn’t have a car or a house, and his career was a fraction of Jesseca’s at the time.
Timing in Numbers
After their wedding, at precisely 5:12 pm, the couple announced their marriage to the public. Jeremy joked that in his day, “5‑1‑2” meant “I love you” – a reminder that numbers can stand in for words like a party trick. He even remembered the silly “171554” that on a pager seemed to read “Miss u.”
Home Duties & Hoarding Hobbies
Today, the couple has shed financial and domestic boundaries, each carrying the load of household chores. Jeremy: “I’m the guy who always has a stash of essentials.” He even bought a whopping 80 rolls of toilet paper before the pandemic. Jesseca, on the other hand, keeps a ready reserve of bowls and plates for 20‑30 diners – no revisit of any piece.
- Jeremy’s hobbies: a tantalizing shoe collection, collectible toys, and a special Tokyo Skytree edition toy made to honor that life‑changing engagement.
- His philosophy: “I have a story behind every item, and if one day I forget, looking at them will recall the past.”
End Note
From the failed Disney caper to the sky‑high sweet success, Jeremy’s proposal journey proves that even a little misdirection can land you the big moment of a lifetime. And hey—if the reservation at Disneyland had been approved, maybe this story would have ended on a different kind of “no.” But what a tale it is—a mix of humor, heart, and an unforgettable cake‑kissing moment.
