Most people dream of retirement as endless days of relaxing at the kopitiam or watching TV. But for the face behind The Vow Carriage—our "Uncle"—the quiet life was, well, a little too quiet.
After a lifetime of working and raising a family, he found himself with plenty of time but a desire to still be useful. He didn't want a stressful 9-to-5, but he missed connecting with people. That’s when the idea for The Vow Carriage was born.
Why not combine his two great loves: his meticulously maintained Mercedes-Benz C200 and the joy of seeing young couples start their lives together?
Trading Coffee Breaks for Wedding Cakes
"Retirement is nice, but you miss the energy of people," Uncle says. "Weddings are the best kind of energy. Everyone is happy, everyone is hopeful. It’s a privilege to be a small part of that."
Driving for weddings isn't just a job for him; it’s a way to stay active and engaged. Instead of treating it like a gig-economy hustle where speed is everything, he treats it like a hobby he takes very seriously. He enjoys the ritual of washing the car the night before, checking the best routes, and putting on his best shirt for the big day.
A Fatherly Presence on the Road
There is a distinct difference between a hired chauffeur and a family "Uncle."
On a wedding day, emotions run high. Nerves are common. Having a driver who is a retired father figure brings a sense of calm to the car. He understands the importance of safety—driving smoothly so the bride feels at ease, and knowing exactly when to offer a bottle of water or a tissue.
He treats every bride and groom not as customers, but as he would treat his own children: with patience, care, and a genuine wish for their happiness.

For Uncle, the best tip isn't money—it’s the smile on the couple's face when they arrive at the venue, ready to say "I do."
