Facebook comment from Kelly:

"Hi Dawn, I should be the one thanking you and Leon for providing my guests with beautiful songs for the entire night! :)

Many of them had enjoyed themselves, particularly complimenting the live band and Kitty being a good host.

Thanks for everything!"

As Christmas draws near, festive cheer brightens up everything along the way. On the 17th of December this year, the holidays lent its special magic to the wedding celebrations of Mark and Kelly.

Held at the Raffles Hotel Ballroom, the union of our couple-of-the-day was elaborate and intimate all at the same time. A large custom backdrop with a 3-D "双喜" button greeted guests as they stepped into the carefully dressed-up space.

Team "Yours Truly" comprised myself (Dawn) and Leon on vocals, Matthew on keyboard, and Kitty as emcee. Our live-wire chick ensured that Mark & Kelly received a rousing reception during their march-ins, and that every guests had a running commentary of the evening, so that no one missed out on anything!

Armed with a song list that reflected a good mix of English favourites and popular Chinese tunes, Yours Truly Wedding Band division was ready to rock the house that night, so to speak ;).

We covered popular duets like 你最真贵 and 今天你要嫁给我 on top of popular request songs Love, Me and Come Fly with Me. Not to be outdone, Kelly also serenaded her husband with David Tao's 爱很简单 at the impromptu request of her 姐妹s, accompanied by Yours Truly keyboardist, Matthew.

Trust our meticulous couple to not only select a repertoire that both their Chinese and non-Chinese guests would enjoy, they also requested that we came dressed to suit the colour theme of the wedding! As you can see from this photo, we certainly look well-matched together :).

Congratulations once again to Mark & Kelly! Thank you for being great hosts and a joy to perform for :)

Wish you could've been there? Watch this video from that night then!



xoxo,
Dawn
