Bevlyn’s thoughts: You & I

It’s been a long time since I performed at this colonial house, and I was really looking forward to see the beautiful garden again after the renovation. The picturesque fauna and flora welcomed the guests as they sip their cocktails while waiting for the banquet to commence. 


This wedding has so many favourite moments for me, and the first one has to be the 1st march-in. Sharon chose a very slow and romantic number, and the opportunity to sing it thrilled me to pieces – You and I. We paced the music and ended on a high when the couple reached the champagne fountain at the end of the aisle.

We were flattered when a guest named George came up to request for ‘Quando Quando’; we even received a request for ‘La vie en rose’ after it was delivered earlier! The evening just got more and more interesting – when we were singing the 3rd last song, the brother of Niraj popped over to my side and did a duet with me on the song “I’ll stand by you”, totally on the fly. Everyone cheered of course! Before we knew it, a couple started dancing to our next upbeat song, and the space in front of the band was instantaneously transformed into a makeshift dancefloor. On the last song, we were thrilled to have the spontaneous guests filling up the ‘dancefloor’, grooving to our rendition of ‘What a difference a day made’. The icing on the cake was: they sang with me too!!!

We went there thinking we were the entertainers, when in fact we were entralled by the guests and the fun they brought.

Thank you Sharon & Niraj, we wish you many wonderful days ahead in the new chapter of your lives.
