Even after repeated readings, Charlene's words still move me immeasurably:
"When I first met Steven, it was love at first sight, and it lasted till today. When he held on to my hands for the first time, he told me he wouldn’t let them go and he has proven it to me. I have always remembered this sentence.
We've been through a lot together and it sure wasn't easy at all. We're both glad that we made it through till this day. And he always tells me to cherish what we have today. He's watched me grow from a little girl into a lady, and still loves me just the same. He's very well-liked in my family because he a very respectful individual."
When Charlene met me on her wedding day, she stepped forward on her own accord and gave me a big hug. That made me feel at ease immediately. No wonder Steven is so smitten by her.
Earlier on, the wedding coordinator at Raffles The Plaza told me that planning for Steven and Charlene's wedding was a breeze, mostly because Steven agreed to all of Charlene's requests!
Band: Hsin Yeow, Matthew and Feri
Matthew told me that he felt several "heart melting moments" while playing. I have to agree. Feri and Matthew played so well that I had to consciously remind myself to sing when I was supposed to!

Proposal story:
Steven proposed to me when we participated in the Samsung Torchbearer Challenge at Ngee Ann City last year. It was a surprise which he planned with the organisers. I felt sad when we were out of the match, so the proposal came as a shock to me!
He got me a ring and a bouquet of 99 roses. It was my first bouquet of flowers from him because he wanted it to be the one and only bouquet. He said that the flowers would be more meaningful this way. I accepted the proposal.
Compliments from Charlene and Steven:
Hi Hsin Yeow,
Thank you so much for your help on our wedding night. It was such a memorable night. It wouldn't have been such a success without you. I am glad we made the right choice. Its a pity i didn't get to hear you sing all the songs, but our guests loved your performance so much. I received praises and compliments throughout the entire evening. My friends and relatives mentioned that the band was excellent! It just kept the evening going. You made a difference. My parents were asking me so much about you, guess they were just too captivated by what you have put up that evening.
I'm sorry, we were so busy that evening, didn't get the chance to talk to you and your team. Perhaps we could meet up for a meal one of these days yah. By the way, I've given your contact to my friends so that they can contact you directly.
Thank you so much once again. And keep in touch. We sincerely wish you all the best. Thanks Hsin Yeow. We will always remember how you've been such an important part of our big day.
Warmest regards,
Charlene and Steven
