A Tearful Embrace and Unforgettable Moments as Lita, Kelly’s Beloved Nanny, Surprises Her on the Big Day
Love and joy filled the air as Kelly Chua tied the knot in 2022. However, the most touching moment of the day came in the form of a surprise that transcended distance and time. In a heartwarming TikTok video, Kelly shared the emotional reunion with her beloved “yaya” (nanny), Lita, who had returned to Singapore for the first time in three years.
Lita, having served Kelly’s family as a domestic worker for an incredible 27 years, had returned to her home in the Philippines in 2019. Little did Kelly know that her brother, Keith Chua, had orchestrated a beautiful surprise to bring Lita back to Singapore for a few precious days.
The viral video captures the moment of revelation, with Keith announcing, “I’ve prepared a very big surprise for you. Are you ready? Look over there.” As Kelly turns her gaze, tears well up in her eyes as she sees Lita, and the two share an emotional hug that speaks volumes about the bond they share.
During the ceremony, amidst tears of joy, Lita expressed her happiness, saying, “Finally, I am so happy to see you get married.” These words held a special significance, considering Lita had previously informed Kelly that she couldn’t attend the wedding due to passport issues. Unbeknownst to Kelly, her brother had planned the surprise all along.
Kelly, the 28-year-old bride, shared the backstory of the touching surprise, stating, “She went home three years ago and told me she couldn’t attend my wedding because she didn’t manage to renew her passport. But my brother actually had it all planned from the start.” The revelation added an extra layer of emotion to the already poignant moment.
Describing Lita as a second mother, Kelly expressed the uncertainty of when they would meet again, given Lita’s age of 72. “It really means so much to me that she’s able to attend my wedding,” Kelly shared, emphasizing the profound impact Lita has had on her life.
The surprise extended beyond the siblings, as Kelly later discovered that the entire family was in on Lita’s visit. Lita stayed with Kelly’s aunt and grandmother for five days before the wedding, receiving support and warmth from family members. Friends, too, played their part by taking Lita out for breakfast and ensuring she had everything she needed for the celebration.
The heartwarming reunion struck a chord with viewers, with many sharing their own experiences with dedicated caretakers. One TikTok user expressed their emotional connection, saying, “I cried… My Helper left after 16 years with me… She wanted to retire at 62 and I miss her every day x.” Another shared a similar sentiment, stating, “This touches my heart so much. I also have a helper that has gone back after taking care of me for 27 years, I’m so happy for u.”
In a world often filled with challenges and uncertainties, Kelly’s wedding became a symbol of enduring love and the profound impact that caring relationships can have on our lives. Lita’s surprise return added a beautiful chapter to their story, reminding us all of the importance of cherishing the bonds that time and distance may try to separate.
