Miss Khaw Phaik Saik and Mr Lim Swee Hoe, Marriage, circa 17 December 1924, Penang

 The wedding took place in Penang in the old Chinese style between Miss Khaw Phaik Saik, the third daughter of Mr. Khaw Joo Tok, J.P., -- who was lately honoured by the King of Siam with the Siamese title "Phra Silohabhumi Pitaks" -- and M. Lim Swee Hoe, youngest son of the late Mr. Lim Swee Ee. As the marriage was a "Chin Choey" as opposed to "Chuah" most of the ceremonies took place at the residence of the bride's parents, "Asdang House."
