Hsin Yeow's thoughts: I Finally Found Someone

"Hi Hsin Yeow,

Jerlynn and I lived in the same neighbourhood and attended the same primary school. We didn't catch each other's eye even though we bumped into each other a couple of times while growing up. I went to Australia to pursue a degree, and when I returned home, I met her by chance at Starbucks on Christmas Day 2006.

I was waiting for a friend, and when I saw her through the window, I just sat down in front of her and started talking. The conversation hasn't ended since.

I love Jerlynn for always being frank, helpful to everyone and fun-loving.

She's the one for me. I feel incredibly proud and blessed to have her as my wife."

When Johnny declared his love for Jerlynn during the dinner, Juliet was moved to tears. Upon my recommendation, Johnny dedicated a special song to Jerlynn. It was a song which I felt was perfect for them --- I Finally Found Someone.

"It started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin"
Congratulations Johnny and Jerlynn! May you both be blessed with laughter and love always!

Bevlyn's Thoughts: Over The Rainbow

One of the highlights of Marc and Sherlyn's wedding had got to be the best man's speech,  who revealed a very interesting anecdote about the couple (well actually it was more about Marc). Back in the days when he and Marc were both in London while walking along River Thames, he made a casual remark about how Marc could get along with Sherlyn, only to get a response from Marc 10 minutes later after the walk, "Yah". That might just make the longest time taken for a response in the Guinness World of Records!

With Edward and Feri on piano and guitar respectively, we worked our first song "Built To Last" with the all familiar rift of the song to cue the 1st march-in. I see quite a number of guests turning their heads to look at us while we perform the 1st march-in song; it never fails to amuse me that live bands are still a novelty among Singaporeans' weddings!



The guests that evening were rather reserved and I was at first rather worried that the songs were not up to their taste. To my pleasant surprise, while we were packing up after the performance, a man approached me and said "Hi, you guys are great! My table of friends and I are your fans!". I was lost for words for a moment because I definitely would not have known that if he had not come up to me. Moral of the story is: please give your applause to a band if you appreciate their music, don't scare the performers! :)

And since all good things come in double, another guest soon came up to us and asked for our contacts. Ah, the reserved nature of the Singaporeans!

The song that I relished singing that evening was the theme song from Friends. Can you believe that this is my first time singing "I'll Be There For You" by the Rembrandts in all these years of wedding-singing?


All in all, Edward, Feri and I enjoyed singing the songs picked by Marc and Sherlyn, it's interesting how Edward rightly relished playing "Everything In Its Time" (since it's a piano piece) but Feri relished playing "Heaven" (it's not even a guitar piece!). I think my favourite for that evening has got to be the medley of "Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World" because I just picked up the ukulele! :)

Our heartiest congratulations to Marc and Sherlyn for finally tying the knot after the marathon of dating! Like what the Carpenters sung "We've only just begun", let this be the birth of a wonderful road ahead!



Repertoire:
Build to Last (1st March-in), Kiss Me, L-O-V-E, Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World (Medley), Beyond The Sea, The Way You Look Tonight, As Time Goes By, We've Only Just Begun, Unforgettable, La Vie En Rose, Everything, Can't Take My Eyes Off You.

Bubbly, Shakespeare In Love, Just The Way You Are, 爱很简单 (Love Is Simple), Heaven, This Is The Day, I'll Be There For You (Friends' Theme), At Your Side, Everything In Its Time, 写一首歌 (Write A Song), Time After Time.

Hui Ming’s Thoughts: 花好月圓 (A Beautiful Night)

紅色。
代表熱情。
代表好運。
代表喜氣。

也因爲如此，華人喜歡用紅色做任何喜慶節日的主色。

這一次的婚宴佈置，也是以紅色為主。
紅色的紗布。
紅色的燈籠。
紅色的玫瑰。
一幅喜氣洋洋的樣子。
略帶幾分中國風。

或許有些人會覺得俗氣，
但我個人特別喜歡紅玫瑰。
認爲白色婚紗配上紅色玫瑰是最好看的。
有一點過時了的華麗？
或許。
但現在不是都流行復古嗎？

而好像是爲了配合整個氣氛，連歌曲選擇也竟有點復古呢。
後來聽説是新郎的父親精心挑選的。
不知當晚的賓客們可聼得開心？
我倒是唱得興高采烈。

不知道是不是在一起久了，自然而然的，就會相像起來？
這對新人的氣質很相像。
感覺非常斯文大方，說起話來溫文爾雅
真是天生一對。
