Emcee of the night! :)

'各位来宾晚上好! 我是您今晚的司仪!'
I was one of the wedding emcees for Shaun and Ruth's wedding.
It was a GREAT experience!
Ruth & Shaun + Shaun's sister at the back (I KOP their picture from facebook :x)

Shaun is Weimin's colleague and my partner Zinc is the
girlfriend of Kevin (who is also Shaun's colleague)
Please don't ask why the couple chose us because we seriously have no idea as well, ha!
The wedding dinner was held on a Wednesday (18 May 11) at Park Royal Beach Road Hotel. Since it was a working day, I took half day off from work to prepare for the rehearsal at 5pm. For your info, that was the one and only rehearsal which we had and the emcee script was prepared by the groom and emailed to us only 3 days before the wedding!
*cold sweat* imagine either me or zinc freaked out on actual day and ruin their wedding?!

Wedding emcee scripts are quite standard. Almost the same for all the weddings we have attended, but it's the coordination of video, music, dry-ice, march-in etc. The timings MUST be perfect! They are as detailed as fixing the door to be opened at exactly the 28th sec of the song!

The opening speech as follow:-

Z: A very good evening, I’m Zinc and this is my partner Yue Mei. Thank you for taking time off your busy schedule to attend the wedding of Shaun Lim, son of Mr & Mrs Lim Poh Lye and Ruth Lim, daughter of Mr & Mrs Lim Kian Ann.

YM: 各位来宾晚上好!非常感谢大家抽空出席林宝来夫妇的林玮杰林建安次女林怡慧的结婚晚宴。希望你们有个愉快的夜晚。

Z: On behalf of the wedding couple and their parents, we would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for your presence at this joyous occasion.

YM: 在此,我们谨代表这对新人及双方家长由衷地感谢你们给于这对新人的祝福。

Z: Before we invite the couple to join us in the ballroom, allow us to take you through the life journeys of Shaun and Ruth from childhood to their courtship days, through a short video clip.

YM:在新人还未入席前,让我们透过一个影片,看一看他们走过的人生旅程,以及他们从相识到相恋的过程。

Z: Please sit back, relax, and enjoy.
