Edwin Goh and Rachel Wan's wedding to be for next year: 'There's still a lot of things we need to figure out', Entertainment News
Local celebrity couple Edwin Goh and Rachel Wan recently spoke about setting healthy boundaries and personal time in their relationship. In a chat with 987FM DJs Sonia Chew and Avery Aloysius Yeo for their YouTube podcast Men, Explain released on July 24, Rachel shared that when she and Edwin were living in Australia together, there was a point in time where they became too dependent on each other. The 28-year-old said: "We don't have a support system outside; it got to a point where I started to feel like I don't know who I am outside of the relationship. So, I started to ask for me-time. I said [to Edwin], 'I think we need to make more effort to have projects outside of the relationship.'" Rachel, who also creates content and runs a crocheting business Unravel & with Edwin, added that because their social circle is smaller in Australia, both of them spent more time together every day doing everything. Edwin, 31, added he took some time to process this in their relationship and understand their differences. "During that period, of course I felt a bit like, 'Why are you feeling lonely? Isn't this enough? Or when she needs more me-time, am I not enough?' I had to confront those things before, but if I really listen to her, what she is trying to say is not that I am not enough, so I really got to work through that myself," he said. Edwin and Rachel, both actors, announced their engagement this April after dating for more than two years and that they would be returning to Singapore after relocating to Sydney two years ago. Rachel also shared in the podcast that Edwin didn't want to come back to Singapore and they only returned because she insisted on it. "He was happy being there, he was like, 'All I need is the trees and you.' But I was like, 'I need my friends and family,'" she added. Edwin said he used to need his personal time in previous relationships, but it's different with Rachel. They have since learnt to establish healthy boundaries by maintaining friendships with their own friends and spending time with them, and they would then share their day with each other later. When asked when their wedding will be held, Edwin said next year would be ideal. He explained: "There's still a lot of things we have to figure out here in terms of business and work in general, [we want] to get that part settled." "I remember when we first got engaged, we were just basking in it and all that. Only a few weeks later, the reality hits and [it's like] 'Oh, we actually have to plan the wedding, and we have to do the work now'," Rachel added, laughing.
