Family and Friends; Wedding Thank Yous (Part 2)

Thank You, Mom and Dad

Dad, your speech/poem warmed our hearts (I'm still waiting for the copy to keep for posterity).

Mom, the cake was delicious. Thank you, Aunty Fidelis for making it and you for arranging it all. The cake was transported all the way from Malacca, Malaysia and stayed intact and beautiful.

Thank You, Scott

Scott, Chad's brother was also his Best Man and witness to our Sacrament of Matrimony. Thanks for coming such a long way to celebrate the day with us. We hope you had a good time and that this will be the first of more visits.



Thank You, Florence and Deepak

When I first arrived, Florence and Deepak put me up for more than 2 weeks in their home. It was easy to see which room was mine when I was there. Florence and Deepak are really what I call neat freaks while I am ruled by chaos. Thanks for your hospitality and putting up with my untidiness.

Florence, thanks for all your help and advice as my Matron of Honour. Thanks for also being a witness to our marriage. After looking for an outfit for a long time, I have to say this one you found (probably 2 -3 days before the wedding) is perfect. You look beautiful.




Thank You, Nancy

Nancy, you were a wonderful bridesmaid. Thanks for lending me your listening ear, helping me with the florist, helping my mom with her make-up and finding such a perfect dress. Perfect fit, perfect dress and you looked so beautiful.

Since you caught the bouquet at the toss, keep me posted on the outcome!



Thank You, Marcus and Marcus

Marcus, my brother, sang the 'Road that never ends' while Marcus, my former colleague played the guitar, while we signed the church wedding register.

Thank you for making the ceremony even more special, you two.


Here are the lyrics to the song.

The Road That Never Ends

-sung by Marcus De Silva accompanied by Marcus Chan on guitar

Here we are
In this holy place together
Bearing witness as the two of you become man and wife
On this day
As you join in heart and spirit
You begin another chapter in the book of life

Chorus:

Love… is the circle that surrounds you
You can find it on the faces of your family & friends
Love…let it wrap its arms around you
And guide you on your journey down the road that never ends

There’s a song in your heart
You can hear it if you listen
As it whispers through the branches

high above the family tree
And as time
Lay it’s melody upon you
You can rest assured in knowing that you’re right where you should be [Chorus]

Thank You, Vernon, Anna, Erica and Aiden

Thank you all for coming all the way from Kuala Lumpur to celebrate the day. Vernon drove both Chad and I to Mallacca and back on the weekends. That made it so much easier for us to visit my mom and dad. Thank-you so much for that.

Thank You, Chee Mun and Heiny

We invaded Chee Mun's home for over two weeks. Chad, Scott and I stayed at Chee Mun's on a fair bit of ou stay in Singapore. Thank you, Chee Mun! Heiny, thanks for sharing Chee Mun on his birthday (also Apr 18th). I found a way to always remember your birthday, Chee Mun!



Thank You, Sharlene

Sharlene, thanks for being a part of the ceremony. You did it so well.
