NO DRAMA, no tears. That is how Jaymee Ong describes her upcoming nuptials.

It is less than a fortnight away but the Contender Asia host and her boyfriend of three years, electrical engineer Matthew Heath, are hardly sweating over it.

She even had to be 'persuaded' to have a ceremony in February for the signing of the marriage certificate.

In a recent interview with The New Paper at Hairloom & Caramel cafe, Jaymee said: 'We wanted to just go to the Registry of Marriages and sign the papers. But my friend said it was so unromantic.'

The couple, both 29, eventually held it at Singapore Indoor Stadium's Brewerkz, a microbrewery restaurant.

As for the wedding dinner, which will be held on Koh Samui island on 31 Mar, Jaymee, who currently hosts entertainment show eBuzz, cannot be morecalm.

Neither she nor Mr Heath, who relocated from his hometown in Perth to Singapore two years ago, has gone for food-tasting because 'we trust the chef'.

She doesn't know what flowers will be used, except that they'll be white.

All she knows about the wedding cake is that it will be chocolate.

Jaymee doesn't know how her hair and make-up will be done, although she wants a sun-kissed look and her hair pinned back.

Heck, she hasn't even met the make-up and hair artist.

So what's her formula for a stress-free wedding? An 'amazing' wedding planner whom she found on the Internet.

Jaymee said: 'I just tell myself, nothing's going to burst into flames. The worst thing that can happen will not be that bad. The music may be cued in a little late but so what?'

The Chinese-Australian babe, who moved to Singapore five years ago, also found her dress in record time - the same day she popped by local designer Renee Leung's store at Delphi Orchard shopping centre.

She chuckled: 'Maybe I'm just not very anal.'

Describing the dress to which she made only minor modifications, she said: 'It's not poofy because it's going to be a beach wedding.

'It has a mermaid tail at the end and is figure-hugging. It also has a very low back. It's very elegant but also kind of sexy at the same time.'

She even had to be 'talked into getting a small train for my dress' by her bridesmaids.

Before you think she doesn't give a hoot about her wedding, Jaymee is just 'not one of those people who needs to know every detail'.

'I'm detailed in everyday life. But I don't want my guests to remember my centrepiece or how the table setting looked like.

'I want them to go, 'Oh, wasn't the ceremony beautiful? Wasn't it so much fun?' So in that respect, I'm very laidback.'

Although the planning has been relatively stress-free, Jaymee admits there has been one occasion when the couple had a 'semi-argument'.

She said: 'I told Matt we had to plan the seating arrangement. He, being the typical bloke, didn't think it was necessary. 'The guests will take care of themselves and find their own seats,' he said.'

No sponsors for wedding

But don't expect this to be a typical celebrity wedding with a slew of sponsors.

Jaymee said she doesn't want to 'cash in on it' and turn it into work.

Perhaps it's this relaxed attitude that bonded Jaymee and Mr Heath when they started dating three years ago.

After all, their first date was at a Clarke Quay pub, watching a 2006 World Cup match between Australia and Japan.

Mr Heath, a self-confessed 'sports junkie' had wanted to catch the game badly. But he also wanted to take Jaymee out for dinner.

He said: 'I never miss a good game... and was actually a bit bummed that I was going to miss it as I had forgotten about it when I asked Jaymee out.'

Thankfully, she suggested watching the game together.

Mr Heath, said with a laugh: 'I couldn't believe she brought it up. I thought, 'Yup, this one's a keeper!'

Jaymee, who is also a yoga instructor, added: 'I think this was when I won him over.

'So when people say you can never meet the love of your life at a club (they met at the now-defunct Ministry of Sound), it's such a lie. You can - just don't be drunk when you meet them.'

When asked about his new bride, MrHeath gushed: 'She's one of the most compassionate women I know. She always has time for everybody.

'Most people may find this surprising but she's also a huge goofball. We can talk about anything with each other, and I know she is always there to listen to and support me.'

No mind games

As for Jaymee, she said Mr Heath 'keeps me grounded'.

The former model, who reportedly dated American dance music DJ Theo, added: 'I've dated people from the industry but never found someone really compatible. I just wanted someone who's real.

'Matt doesn't try to impress; he is who he is. He gets along with everyone.

'This is totally different from my previous relationships. There are no mind games.'

As for the proposal, it took place on the rooftop of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel last April.

He surprised her with a pair of diamond loop earrings and popped the question with a Tiffany & Co. cushion-cut diamond ring.

The couple's wedding bands are also from the renowned jeweller.

Jaymee said: 'After I said 'yes', he immediately flopped onto a lounge deck beside him and was so relieved. It was really funny.

'We ran all over the hotel and told everyone we met that we'd just gotten engaged. I think they must have thought we were nuts.'

Like kaypoh aunties, we had to ask: Will the pitter-patter of little feet be next at their new apartment in the East?

Jaymee, who is the first to get married in her family, admitted she's feeling the pressure.

'I never believed in 'the ticking biological clock'. But I really feel it now. I definitely want a family, possibly with two kids.'

Mr Heath added: 'No Brangelina brood for us (referring to Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's six children). We'll be happy with a couple of healthy, happy kids.'
