Back to Where It All Began: From Classmates to Soulmates
Alumni Exceptional People Our Spotlight SHR ArticleHigh School sweethearts and Shrewsbury International School Bangkok Riverside alumni, Nop and Varanut (Mimi) Whangpurikul, both met in 2011 during their time as students at the school. Having spent years together, attending the same classes and studying for exams in the library, the couple got in touch with the school, asking to take their pre-wedding photos on the school campus before tying the knot this summer.
Shrewsbury International School Bangkok Riverside was the one place that truly represented the beginning of their love story with Nop explaining that the school “checked all the boxes” as they were looking for something “casual, fun and unique”.
The couple shared that the school will always be a place that is incredibly meaningful for them and explained that being able to do the shoot “brought back so many memories” while they were able to recreate them as they stepped back into the past and wore school uniforms for the day. Nop and Mimi both agreed that doing this was one of the biggest highlights of the day.
Grateful to the school for making this happen, we extend our special thanks to Khun Nine, Alumni Marketing and Relations Officer, for her coordination and guidance throughout the day.
The decision to capture their pre-wedding photos on campus is a touching reminder of how our alumni cherish the memories made at school for years to come and like so many of our alumni, Nop and Mimi remain connected to Shrewsbury Bangkok Riverside.
We look forward to welcoming them back to campus in the future for upcoming alumni events, which can be found by following our Alumni Facebook page or clicking here, and wish them all the best in their new chapter together as husband and wife. More photos of the day can be found here. Congratulations!
