Judy’s Thoughts: 至少还有你 (At Least There Is You) What a lovely place to hold your wedding dinner! A place so lush and full of nature. In fact, so full of nature that Matthew, Ivan and I had to constantly get off our seats to shoo a peacock that was eye-ing our dinner and refused to go away. Peacock aside, it was a lovely evening the guests were really appreciative of our music. The highlight of the evening was when we go…
Bevlyn’s Thoughts: 天堂 (Heaven) Love knows no boundaries, and Serena and Rik are living proofs of this. Rik hails from Holland while Serena, a Singaporean, had their paths crossed when they met each other in Ho Chi Ming city where they work. Rik recalled Serena calling him one fine day to ask him out for a drink, and his first impulse was, “Ah, I’m kind of tired (etc)”. In response to that, Serena said simply, “It’s ok lah! Maybe next…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 天天想你 (Thinking Of You Every Day) Ben didn’t have an easy time winning Linda’s heart. Being Linda’s personal chauffeur didn’t work. Apparently Ben bought his first car to pick Linda up from school and send her to work on time. It took Ben at least three tries before Linda agreed to be his girlfriend. God knows how many times Ben proposed, but suffice it to say, he didn’t succeed the first time. Nevertheless, Ben persisted because he…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: Crazy Little Thing Called Love Word has it that after Paurene and Benjamin got to know each other, Benjamin had a habit of waiting at a certain traffic light to catch sight of Paurene (and probably to pretend bumping into her). Yes, everytime under hot sunlight. I suppose this is the Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The emcees Gary and Su-Zan lightened up the atmosphere with their wits and chemistry. Though strong as a team, they could not…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: 你是我心内的一首歌 (You’re Like A Song In My Heart) 9 highlights (since wedding was held on 9 Jan!): 1. Sofyan and I, accompanied by Daniel on guitar, performed at the foyer during reception to welcome guests who arrived early; on the contrary, we felt welcomed by the guests! 2. The best emcee is usually someone you know from your family, or among your friends. Deborah, Teresa’s elder sister, fulfilled the role of the emcee (bilingual) to a T. She…
Serene’s thoughts: Happy Together As their bestman said in his speech, Julene and Kelvin are the only good-looking, non-celebrity Singaporean couple they know, much to the laughter and applause of everyone. Kelvin was charmingly handsome and quiet, Julene was the sweet island girl with one of the loveliest smiles. Together, they looked so good so much so that when Clarence and I were browsing through their wedding photographs, we felt that they looked like models you see in lifestyle campaigns…
Imelda’s thoughts: Rainbow Connection I can’t speak Cantonese to save my life but I can most definitely understand it, especially when the long distance love story of Wileen and Jordy sounds just like a Hong Kong drama serial. What’s even more unforgettable is that the two of them look just like the gorgeous stars you see at the “Golden Horse Awards Ceremony”! I’m not kidding, they’re both really gorgeous, and not just cause they’re dressed up for their wedding. Take…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: All I Want Is You The lyrics of “All I Want Is You” kept ringing in my head after Shawn and Sherrie’s exuberant wedding celebration. Shawn serenaded his lovely bride Sherrie with this song, and even prepared a special video (with the song lyrics running in the background) which was played during his surprise performance. If I was a flower growing wild and free All I’d want is you to be my sweet honey bee. And if…
Serene’s Thoughts: 家后 (Queen of the House) The wedding of Joen and Tung Tai was held at the Sentosa Resort and Spa. Surrounded by greens and breathtaking night views of the sea, I always found weddings held at this venue particularly romantic and refreshing. With Weibin (伟彬) as emcee, we were off to a fantastic start for the evening. The beautiful and eloquent host warmed the guests up before the couple’s first march-in and set everyone in the mood for…
Matthew’s thoughts: 月亮代表我的心 (The Moon Represents My Heart) What an inspirational story! It gives hope to all guys out there (like myself!) that with enough determination (and luck!) you can get the girl! I’m not sure if I heard the story right, but apparently, Hui Ping was out backpacking in Vietnam (or somewhere else in exotic south-east asia) and it was on a 12-hour coach ride that Xiao Dong caught a glimpse of her! And so, he waited patiently for…
Bevlyn’s Thoughts: When I See You Smile I’d long heard of Joe Augustin when he was reigning the air waves, but today, I had the rare opportunity to witness ‘live’ for myself the wits, intelligence, control and professionalism of this wonderful man when he took on the role of emcee for Germaine and James’ wedding. With him stringing the items together, everything was seamless. James and Germaine had their solemnisation in the garden one level below the banquet hall, and…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Una Canzone D’Amore Pris met Luca at the time when she thought her marrying days were well and truly behind her. Famous last words. The wedding celebration was a really relaxing and intimate affair. It got off to a rousing start when Luca’s father suddenly took Pris’ hand when I sang That’s Amore and danced! Pris, although clearly taken by surprise, grinned and danced along to the music. Memories lining up to greet the guests Near the…
The wedding of Jeremy and Mandy was a fairy tale like affair held at the Sentosa Resort & Spa. The solemnisation ceremony was held at the courtyard in front of the main ballroom, a secluded spot surrounded by lush greenery, with hints of the tranquil seaview in sight. Cream and pink rose petals lined the venue, making it all the more romantic. Witnessed by a packed ceremony of family and friends, Jeremy and Mandy exchanged moving vows I trust they…
Jun Xiong’s thoughts: Truly Madly Sweetly When it came to live music for his wedding, Henry left nothing to chance. He made sure he caught one of our live performances before engaging us. Also, he made the wise decision of engaging a separate sound system because he had heard the in-house system himself and realised that it could not meet his standards. Needless to say, the band was delighted, because it meant how much importance Henry placed on live music!…
Hui Bing’s thoughts: All You Need is Love One of the advantages of getting a live band – you can choreograph your own march-in in any way you like. And that’s David and Belinda did, with this lively song by the Beatles All You Need is Love. First, David surprised all his guests by going on stage and said, “Hi everyone, in case you do not know, I am the groom” to laughter from his guests. After this humorous intro,…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Signed Sealed Delivered, I’m Yours “To the world, you are one person. To one person, you are the world.” The above aphorism aptly describes the relationship between Lorraine and Carl. Both of them could hardly contain the glow of being newly-weds. Carl, when giving his speech, thanked Lorraine for giving him happiness, and for making him the “luckiest guy in the world.” Lorraine, on the other hand, decided to put her emotions into a song, and surprised…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: 爱很简单 (Love Is Very Simple) Anne’s good friend since their primary school days in Kuantan, Lisa, made an impression that evening with her digs at Daniel. As a surprise gift for Anne, Lisa came up with a special photo-montage of Anne and Daniel through the years, but not without adding in text lines in between the pictures to hint how lucky a man Daniel is to be able to be with Anne. In her speech, Lisa described how…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: All I Ask of You We were introduced to Elise because my primary school friends, Jane and Huimin, recommended us to her. Elise (local Singaporean girl) met Guillaume (French), through work in 2001. Their wedding celebration was a memorable one for me because it was another of those occasions when I can test my French and put it to good use. Guillaume first gave a moving speech in French, thanking his family members and friends, especially his brother,…
Hui Bing’s Thoughts: Beautiful in My Eyes Camy and Chor Meng’s wedding dinner was one of the most memorable weddings that I have performed at. Perhaps it was the many little details that the couple had incorporated in their wedding to make it their own – from the decoration of the ballroom (it was in a stunning black to match Camy’s evening gown), the flower girls that accompanied the couple when they march-in, to the dedications that Camy and Chor…
