Bevlyn’s thoughts: A Moment Like This As shared by Hein, this was their first moment meeting each other: “We met in Oct 2003 when we both just started work at the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The first day we saw each other was when we both attended the MAS orientation. I was sitting across the room from her with about 20 other newbies. I found it interesting and surprising that there was a pretty girl sitting across the room that…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Two Is Better Than One Sometimes, you get invited to a wedding because you have gotten to know either the bride or groom many years ago. And you wonder how the couple met each other and fell in love. Theo and Rachel clearly believe in filling in the gaps for their family and friends. They lovingly produced a video which traced the journey of their lives, starting with the sentence, “Theo is the eldest in a family…
Adeline’s thoughts: 就是爱你 (Just Love You) What makes a wedding special and memorable is when a couple adds a personal touch to it. For Chay Pin and Lulu, they decided to sing for their 2nd march-in (今天你要嫁给我 – Marry Me Today). And I must say they did a really good job. With smiles from cheek to cheek, holding each other’s hand, looking into their partner’s eyes and singing the song as they walked down the aisle, it was a love…
Serene’s thoughts: Grow Old With You After the 2nd march-in, Barry was asked to complete five sentences (in the dialect Hokkien) starting with “I love you because _______ “. Barry’s answers were: 1. “I love you because you are very pretty.” 2. “I love you because you are very good.” 3. “I love you because you are very adorable.” He ran out of words, and the emcee asked him to complete the last two sentences by sharing with everyone present…
Hsin Yeow’s Thoughts: Lovin’ You I was thrilled to hear from Mei Ting again. Mei Ting and Derek engaged Hui Bing and Wilson for their solemnisation last year, and wasted no time in engaging Hui Bing again for the wedding reception a year on. Wilson wasn’t free that night, so I found Jun Xiong and Matthew to accompany Hui Bing. Hui Bing and Jun Xiong’s impeccable chemistry and Matthew’s inspired performance ensured a night of great music. Congratulations once again,…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: So Amazing Cheryl and Gabriel clearly believe in not holding back when it comes to wedding planning. Theirs was one of the most memorable weddings I’ve attended this year. And here are some reasons why. Project Runway was the theme, and the couple selected the talented team from Boenga to translate their ideas from mere scribblings on a page to gorgeous reality. Mannequins wearing the some gorgeous threads (from Boenga!) were placed right in the centre of…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 我要你的爱 (I Want Your Love) The first things that caught my eye at Johnson and Queenie’s wedding were the favours. There were two different kinds; depending where you sit, you either get a red photoframe or a set of wine charms that spell L-O-V-E. Hosted by the actor Jason Chan (a family friend), the wedding celebrations got off to a great start. Bevlyn sang Fallen, and the guests welcomed Johnson and Queenie into the grand ballroom with…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Amazing Love Alan and Steph are brilliant and successful individuals in their own right, but had difficulty finding a soul mate. As the emcee put it, “I agreed to be Alan’s wedding emcee, and for the next ten years, he never failed to remind me of my duty.” On the other hand, Steph was wondering how many frogs she needed to kiss (just a saying, no offence to Steph’s previous boyfriends!) before she could meet her Prince…
Jonathan’s thoughts: My Romance Part 2 of Adrian and Cheryl’s wedding was held at the grand Tower Ballroom of the Shangri-La. After performing at the couple’s solemnisation at Oosh, it was a refreshing change as we did an entirely different set of songs. Jazz standards were Melissa’s forte, and I had a lot of fun interpreting them with Joel and Kim Chye, two excellent musicians. Melissa’s smooth satiny voice carried the day, and we received quite a lot of applause!…
