Carrie and Mats, 27 Oct 07, Raffles Hotel Lawn and Casuarina Suite
Hsin Yeow's thoughts: I'm A Believer
Carrie and Mats' wedding celebration was an intimate and elegant affair. All their guests were dressed up to the nines, and it was so quiet during the solemnisation ceremony that you could hear a pin drop.
Hence, I was surprised by some of Carrie and Mats' song choices for their wedding. For the celebratory music after the solemnisation, Carrie wanted a rock version of Canon In D, because it's "fun".
They also wanted this song to be performed at their wedding, and here's why:
"That was out first trip together in Bintan while he came back to look for me and asked me to join him in Sweden. That was the time when I decided to leave Singapore and try out this relationship with him after a long distance r/ship of 3 months. We saw Shrek on TV in Bintan and thought that the music was really fun!"
We really enjoy performing a song that represents a significant point in a couple's relationship. That is why we highly encourage couples to select the songs they would like us to play at their wedding, and not limit them to a standard list of twenty or thirty songs.
Before I sang the song, I explained to the guests why it was important to them. I also joked that Mats did not remind me of Shrek in any way, but I am sure that Carrie would agree with me that Mats was the Prince to her Princess Fiona.
