Bevlyn’s Thoughts: I’m Yours Freddy contacted us in January this year, and I’m really happy that after numerous emails over the 11 months, we finally met up on his wedding day. The funniest thing was when he passed me my album for an autograph – I was totally surprised that he remembered to bring it on probably the busiest day of his life! Thank you Freddy and Yanling for your support, really. 🙂 Freddy and Yan Ling are a very…
Hui Bing’s thoughts: 花好月圆夜 (What A Beautiful Night) By their own admission, Rachel and Nelson are “shy”, so they let their wedding songs do all the talking. As Jun Xiong was the emcee, he happily read out the dedications the couple had prepared. Here are some of them. From Rachel to her colleagues: “Thanks for assisting me in my diet plans with chocolates, snacks and tibits… Haha.. On a serious note, thanks for being around.. When the going get toughs,…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Lovin’ You I always get excited when I meet someone who reads this blog. So when I discovered that Francis is an avid reader, I was delighted. We had a good long chat discussing his relationship with Agnes; I spent half of that time trying to persuade him to sing a song, to no avail. Undaunted, I asked him to reenact his proposal. It’s quite a charming story. This was what he told me. “About close to 3 years of…
Junxiong’s thoughts: 爱爱 (Love Love) After 5 full years of courtship, ShunYuan & LiYing finally tied their knot together on this very day! Though this wedding couple is a little shy and reserved, they could never hide their happiness from their beaming smiles throughout the night. The songs chosen by the couple were also very applauded and well-received by the guests. One Chinese love song 爱爱 is especially popular among the guests which easily caught their attention with the up-tempo…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 爱很简单 (Love Is Very Simple) There is a saying which goes, “近水楼台先得月，向阳花木易为春” (The pavilion closest to the water gets the moonlight, the flowers facing the sun bloom easily.) For Daniel and Su Lin, love blossomed when they stayed at the same college/hostel, John’s XXIII College at the Australian National University in Canberra. When Daniel graduated, he moved back to Singapore while Su Lin remained in Sydney to study and work. What sealed it for them was the…
Bevlyn’s Thoughts: By Your Side This is one of the very memorable weddings for me: 1. Each guest got a cute-looking cupcake as the wedding favour (see picture below). 2. Fabian noticed the western set menu, and I noticed how intricately designed it was (we were later told that the couple had hand-made the menu themselves, ribbons, glues, tapes, scissors and all. Wandy even confessed to being a bride-zilla haha!) 3. Even before the banquet started, my band and I…
Jo’s thoughts: You’re Still The One Pearl and Andy’s wedding was the first at which I’ve played at where the couple weren’t newlyweds at all…but the second half of a celebration of the enduring romance between a husband and wife who had got married in Myanmar years before. And it must be true that with practice comes perfection, because the 17 December celebration for Pearl and Andy went off with aplomb….the couple were gorgeous both in the traditional Burmese wedding…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: When I’m 80 I’d love to be in Alexis’s shoes when his wife, Joanne, said to him, “Thank you for being my everything. When you proposed, I said yes because I knew you’re a good person, and that you’d take good care of me for the rest of my life.” It was such an honest delivery I couldn’t help but be touched. Alexis was so moved he could not speak but he pumped his fist up in…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 甜蜜蜜 (Honey Sweet) Louis and Maria were brought together by their strong Catholic faith. That vital connection, once made, meant that their love was unstoppable. It crossed time zones and continents and strengthened with each passing day. Louis, the unflappable groom, had this to say, “I know some of you thought I was going to be a fair weather friend, but I proved you wrong.” Maria chimed in, “Louis is a Singaporean boy at heart. He loves…
Jixiang’s thoughts: How Deep Is Your Love Without a doubt, the duration and intensity of a wedding kiss is testament to a couple’s devotion, love and passion for each other. And indeed, Kevin and Jasmine showed us and all their guests how deep their love is during their wedding dinner. When the emcee, a special appearance by YES FM93.3 deejay Dennis Chew prompted Kevin and Jasmine to lock lips on stage, they gave a prolonged, passionate and intense ‘tongue wrestling’…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Angels Brought Me Here Peter and Casie Photo taken by Eric Er of Attitude PhotographyWhat I love about wedding singing is the instant gratification. While waiting for the banquet to begin, Casie, the beautiful bride, turned to Hui Bing and said, “I almost cried when I heard you sing! Thank you!” That moment was immensely satisfying for me and the band, because we knew that we touched the hearts of the couple on their wedding day. It…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: Against All Odds Ken loved the idea of having a live band perform at his wedding; unfortunately, everyone else thought it would be a waste of money. Kudos to him for contacting us anyway. We could tell how excited he was, because he had already chosen a list of songs he wanted us to perform. He loved the song Dream A Little Dream so much, he actually found five different versions of the song and played them before…
