Kewei on vox
Einein on keys
Thanks to Samson and Faith, we were kindly invited to sing at Ellen & Eugene's wedding one year later in Hong Kong!
Their solemnisation was held in a chilly morning at the Hong Kong Royal Yacht Club,
but the warm smiles of the couple and their close ones made the ceremony a heartfelt one.
I love the cut-out 喜喜 on the backdrop, which incorporates a dragon and a phoenix symbol! Makes for great pictures!
Not to mention hearing the wedding vows in Cantonese, since my only exposure to Cantonese was from TV, it was entirely like watching a touching drama serial unfold!
It was also our first wedding seeing everyone decked in fur coats and jackets, after all it was an outdoor event in winter!
Great view at the Royal Yacht Club!
In the evening we sang for their friends and family at Jockey Club, which was a familiar ballroom to us, since Samson and Faith's wedding was held there as well.
It turned out to be a great party as Eugene's brother took to the stage, and eventually his parents were onstage singing! The manly trio sung his dad's dedication Perhaps Love by John Denver, I still remember the harmonies they sang, and Einein and I were commenting on how great they sounded!
With Eugene's father!
The next night, we sang for another dinner celebration at the Shangrila, this time it was specially for Eugene's parents' friends and colleagues,
and Eugene specially sang a song called 橋 for his family.
The photo montage was also specially dedicated to his parents, and it was especially touching...
Eugene spoke about how much love and support his family gave him while he was growing up, and now as he was about to start a family of his own, he would wish to do exactly the same for his family, just like his parents did.
He also spoke about each photo in his montage, where it was, who was involved, and for many group photos, he asked the guests to point out who was in there, and pointed them out on the floor, and thanked them for being part of his life and his memories growing up.
With our star of the night!
It was definitely memorable for me to see so much sincerity and love that bonded his family, and their family friends...
Many of their guests also came up on stage to serenade the guests!
Little boxes of personalised M&Ms!
This sweet thank you note was mailed to us later...
We had at unforgettable time in Hong Kong,
and was touched by Ellen & Eugene's friendship and generosity.
Thank you so much for having us at your wedding, we look forward to meeting you again very soon! :D
