Hsin Yeow's thoughts: Chasing Cars

When it was Patrick's turn to give a speech, he confessed, "I couldn't sleep last night because I was fretting over what to say."

He obviously put the time to good use, because he gave a fantastic speech. He paid tribute to the various groups of guests who were present at his wedding, from his secondary school friends, Army buddies, even his boss!

Patrick wanted his wedding to be a very "personalised" one, so acknowledging his guests and explaining how each group shaped his development as an individual was a good start.

The couple also arranged for a fuss-free lunch buffet at One°15, so that his guests could walk about and enjoy the scenic surroundings.

Patrick and Kris also made sure that the photo montage featured many shots of them posing with their favourite car, the MINI. In one memorable photograph, the couple were joined by their like-minded friends and cars; think I counted about 10 MINIs!

Music also played an important role in their wedding. A big reason why Kris engaged us was because I was able to perform her favourite song, Built To Last. It would be her ride-in song. Yup, you read correctly. A conventional stroll down the aisle wasn't good enough. As I started singing, Kris was driven into the ballroom in, what else, a brand new cream-coloured MINI! What a dramatic entrance!



OK, it's the wrong colour, but just so you can have an idea of how totally awesome it looks.
Sebastian, Jonathan and I had a relaxing time performing for Patrick and Kris. The mood of the audience was buoyant and convivial, matched by the cool breezes of a perfect afternoon.

Thanks Patrick and Kris! May you both enjoy a smooth but exciting ride in your journey though life together!

Compliments from Christina, Kris' bridesmaid:

The wedding was very "Patrick and Kris" -- elegant, simple, and at times, humorous.

The band -- Hsin Yeow, Sebastian, and Jonathan Ang did a good job with the songs. :)
