I haven’t stressed enough that I love music. And I believe the music we love tells others who we really are. So from the very beginning when we decided to host a wedding banquet, I began curating a wedding playlist. Cherry and I were quite proud of the music showcased in different sessions of my wedding night, especially the music used in table toasting. The central idea was to keep the atmosphere fun and romantic. We hope we did it.
What about our march-in songs? Well we were very lucky to have found some violin/cello covers of fairy tale songs that gave so much hope for everyone. Credit to these great artists.
Year 2018 was all about getting married. I’m glad after 18 months of preparation, my wedding day went mostly smooth, and more importantly, Cherry and I really got married on 30 December 2018.
I have to be grateful to my best friends’ contributions. Each of them did their part in perfection. MK and Martin were the perfect MC duo. Their interactions, mainly sarcasm, were so natural that they amazed not only me, but everyone else in the banquet. T was the best-suited person to be the IT operator. I needed not worry anything when he’s in charge of music and video playback. Eugene described himself best — he’s the money. But to me he’s more than that. He’s the missing piece. Without him I’d have to find someone else to make four groomsmen in total. So, a big thanks to everyone.
Stressful though wedding preparation was, it’s one of the most creative periods in my life. It’s like a creativity Olympics. I had to work on graphics for invitation cards, backdrop design, photo booth template and so on. I had to work on video production. I had to refresh my skills in public speaking. I had to pick the right background music. I also had to put my fashion taste to the test when I picked not only my suits, but also groomsmen’s outfit. Overall I’m quite pleased with the outcome, but it’s definitely something I wouldn’t want to try again. One more reason to avoid getting divorced.
So, in order to review the many wonderful moments on my wedding day, I’m posting some of my creative elements here, exclusively. Enjoy. And happy new year!
