The Lovely Couples

Our worship team is honored to have to wonderful members commit to their vows. We are overjoyed. It was a simple and meaningful ceremony in the morning. I was leading worship for their ceremony and I was awfully nervous. What if I ruin the wedding hahahaha? On top of that, my voice felt a bit weird the past few days. I was quite sure I was on the verge of falling sick.

THe Worship Team

All together…the TEAM

Well during the ceremony I constantly peeped and looked at my dear. I just thank God for her in my life. However, there were constant questions….’when is your turn?’ …..pressure……All I could say was, soon….I hope….I’m sure Regina was feeling all uncomfortable there haha. She is rather reserved when it comes to these things.

Anyway we had the privilege of having our band play for the wedding too. It was nice to have two violinists to accompany the worship. Makes my dream of a church orchestra even bigger…..*poof* That is reality kicking in. I don’t think that will happen. But I’m going to believe and pray. Yes yes yes yes yes.

Well I also had to play two classical pieces. I was given the hard one like months earlier. Sad to say, I lacked time to practice so I hurriedly tried to make it through practicing. One thing I know now…..I definitely pick up a classical song way faster than I used to. Another thing I know…..I’m not made to play classical. I almost died because of the stress. I survived through this time. But I thank God my boss missed it. I think I would faint if he heard how horribly I played.

Pretty Ladies

Later the next night was the wedding dinner. It was simple without much fanfare except for the fact that they threw me surprises. First, I was asked on the day itself to play for the prelude before dinner was served. After rehearsing the prelude with Hui Sze, before I was able to heave a sigh of relief, I was caught totally off guard that my name was listed on the program as the main guy to lead the toast to the couple i.e. the ‘Yum Seng’ fellow! There wasn’t much time to fret about it cos the doors to the dinner opened pretty on time and the prelude had to start.

The Lovely Couple

Because I was unable to arrive earlier to rehearse with the newly weds for their song presentation ‘When God made you’, I had to leave the dinner table just after the 1st dish was served to go to their room to rehearse with the couple. Everything went pretty well if I can discount the nerves I experienced. With sincere gratitude, they also presented a Teresa Teng song to their parents to thank them for bringing them up. The highlight of the night in my opinion was not the delicacies served nor the guests invited but the Mandarin song sung by Paul to his bride written by himself. It not only expressed his love for her but also their trust in God to help them love each other with His love :p
