Bevlyn's Thoughts: My Only Wish
This wedding blew me away.
First of all, it fell on Christmas Day, and just when I was lamenting that I could not feel that Christmas has arrived, I saw Santa Claus. Right at the wedding.
This Santa is also the co-emcee for Angeline and Jinhang's wedding. Santa Claus' schedule is really mysterious! What was funny was, a personnel from Pan Pacific Hotel announced at the start of the banquet that the emcees were running late, and proceeded to play the photo montage for everybody's enjoyment first. Then he announced for the entrance of the 'couple', who turned out to be Santa and his co-emcee.
Anyway, the other thing which took my breath away was this candy stand. I felt like a child enjoying the magical spirits of Christmas all over again:
Remember this? It's so nostalgic!
The couple had arranged for guests to pack the sweets into these cute pouches. How considerate! :)
Another amusing moment for the guests was when the band performed the Hokkien classic
一支小雨伞 for the march-in of the wedding entourage during the second march-in, and when they all took their positions, the band did a transition to
I Will Follow Him to mark the entrance of Angeline and Jinhang. I could even hear some guests singing with me on “I will follow him”!
And if you thought that Santa is nice, this one is not. He played some games with Jinhang to make sure he's worthy of Angeline. Jinhang passed the tests, of course :)
But Santa is a kind soul afterall, while I was performing my last song “My Only Wish”, he wrote on a golden ribbon and passed it to me , “Yes I heard you”.
This is the song :)

Hi Bevlyn,
Thanks for the beautiful write-up on our wedding. Both Jinhang and I enjoyed reading the entry you have written. :) We were glad that the band including yourself, enjoyed yourselves.
I have attached a few of our favourite pre-wedding photos and some instant photos that of the band that were taken by the photographers. I will send you the photo that we have taken together with the band once the other photographer gives it to us.
All the best to you this 2011.
Regards
Angeline
