I now pronounce you husband and wife...

A whirlwind of activities and before we know it, Xingmin and I are husband and wife! As we embark on our new journey together, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to:

  • Our Heavenly Father, who has brought us into each others' lives, and for leading us in our relationship with the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
  • Our parents, for the unconditional love you have showered upon us and for all the sacrifices you have made. We can never thank you enough.
  • Our siblings, Samuel and Angelaine, for bearing with our tantrums and idiosyncrasies all these years. Despite our squabbles, you know we do respect and love you.
  • Rev (Dr) Boon Young for solemnising our marriage, this means a lot to us.
  • The pastoral staff of Jubilee Church (Pastors Yee Leng, Daniel, Yook Cing, Nai Fwei and Revs Tiong Ann, Siow Hwee) for supporting us in so many ways, from the start of our wedding preparation till the ceremony. We will remember the words of wisdom you have shared with us.
  • The worship team (Wanling, Victor, Johnson, Huiling, Mae, Lin Shen, Xueyi, Weizhen, Victoria) for the heavenly music you provided. May we continue to worship our Lord with joy and thanksgiving.
  • Our 'Xiong Di's (James, Wilson, Boon Khee, Thye Foong, Song Huat, Tze Yang, Wen Yean) and 'Jei Mei's (Mei Ying, Hong Yen, Carolyn, Caroline, Te-Ling, Trixie, Wui Syen, Fang) for going through thick and thin with us, and for sharing this special moment with us. Our special thanks to Ting Chun and Pei Shieen, we are wowed by your artistic talents.
  • Matthias, our handsome page boy, who's also gallantly helped us by perfecting the art of packing organza bags.
  • Natalie and Becky, our angelic flower girls, for laying our paths with the frangrance of flowers.
  • All our church helpers: our wonderful coordinators (Weilun, Elita), "traffic-stopping" marshals (Eric, Junpei, Matthew, Weizheng), lovely receptionists (Angeline, Jiawen, Baozhu), ushers (Thomas, Louise, Janette) and AV support (Jiang Feng, Zheng Kuang). This would not have happened without your help.
  • All our banquet helpers: our quick-thinking receptionists (Anna, Wang Yang, Chunlin), witty emcees (James, Meilian), super efficient table shoot advance "party" (Mark) and Ziyang/Meixuan for going out of your way to pick up the corsages.
  • KC, Kimberly, Elder Youzhen and Fang, for immortalising each special moment for us.
  • Each and every one of you who have blessed us with your presence during our celebrations. We are truly honoured.
May all honour and glory be to God!
