George and Allison, 11 Nov 07, Raffles Marina
Bevlyn's thoughts: If I'm Not In Love With You
Raffles Marina is breath-taking. Even though it is a little out of the way, the picturesque scenery more than compensates for it. The first thing we did when we arrived was to take loads of pictures with our camera phones - see just how distracting the scenery is!

Jerome having his Kodak moment
One big pull factor to have your wedding at Raffles Marina is, you get to have a "sail-in" on top of a march-in.
George and Allison sailed towards the dock in the club boat Olivia while all the guests gathered at the dock to witness them alight on land, and march-in hand-in-hand towards the marquee foyer where they had their solemnisation ceremony.
The couple had another march-in again before the commencement of the buffet dinner. And unlike the SOP, the couple chose to have the cake-cutting, champagne-pouring and toast all done one after the other. Hence the rest of the evening was pretty free and easy - they could mingle with the guests and not have to worry about any other programmes.
I was pretty exhilarated when I first saw the songlist because they had chosen many duets! A couple which I really enjoyed singing were Don't Know Much and Destiny because they are excellent love songs but very much underrated in weddings.
Even though the guests were more reserved in nature, we felt relieved to know they were enjoying the songs because we saw some of the guests' mouths move along with us when we sing certain popular songs. And what made the evening even more enjoyable for us was the attention of a 2-year-old boy Darrius, whose doe-eyes and multiple-fly kisses (by the seeming act of slapping himself many times on his face) melted us to a pool.
Band: Bevlyn, Jerome, Ein Ein
Repertoire:
If I'm Not In Love With You, Nobody Loves Me Like You Do, Your Love (Is The Greatest Gift Of All), You Had Me From Hello, Endless Love, Just The Way You Are, Don't Know Much, 幸福摩天轮 (Ferris Wheel), Unforgettable, Someone Like You, Spend My Life With You
Can't Take My Eyes Off You, When I Fall In Love, You Belong To Me, Destiny, You're Still You, All My Life, I Love You (For Sentimental Reasons), 今生今世 (This Lifetime), Always
Songs To Recommend:
A favourite of mine for the longest time: If I'm Not In Love With You (Kathy Triccoli/Dawn Thomas).
You Had Me From Hello (Kenny Chesney) - There's something haunting about Chesney's voice! I love the line "I never even had the chance, you know? You had me from hello..."
Wedding Tip:
Allocate time to mingle with your guests!
Compliments From Couple:
Hi Bev,
Apologies for the late reply but George and I just came back from a short trip to Koh Samui.
First of all, thank you for a wonderful performance and MC-ing on our wedding day. I've had friends and family asking me whether you guys are our friends who are very good karaoke singers or really professionals :o)
I've also had a colleague who commented you are lovely and wanted to get your number. Hahaha...
Anyways, we'll send you a few of our pics once its out. Thanks again!
Cheers
George & Allison
