♥ 18.10.10 - The Thank You Speech ♥
I am still pretty
upset that I ‘chickened out’ last minute and asked Luffs to make the thank you
speech on our behalf. I guess I sort of regretted not doing it myself - There
were so many people whom I wanted to delicate my thanks to because they have
made a difference in my life.
I actually wrote my speech in the beginning of 2010 and have edited / re-edited it so many times along the way till 16 October when I decided that I couldn’t do the speech myself. Below is what I have prepared :- To My Parents 
Thank you both for the love
showered on me all these years. I know I have not been an easy child. Being
your younger girl, I know you both have worried and are always worrying
endlessly for me.
Mum, thank you for these 26 hard years of bringing me up! In our family, there are no hugs and kisses, or blatant expressions of love and affection but I feel your love in more ways than one :- 1 Waking up earlier than any of us to prepare breakfast 2 Walking me to the train station every morning ever since I started working 3 Staying up with me even when I studied through the night 4 Waiting up for me to get home no matter how late it is Just to name a few… You have done a lot to bring me to this world and even more so when Dad passed away when I was 7 years old. Thank you for giving me all that I have now. Indeed, I am truly blessed to be your child and I thank you for putting up with me through these years and doing everything to make my life better. Uncle, thank you for coming into our lives some 15 years ago and becoming part of our family. You are indeed God sent because I really cannot imagine how Mum, Jie and I would have coped without you. Through both your teachings and guidance, I think I am proud to be where I am today and I sincerely hope that both you and mum can be proud of me and happy for me too. To My One & Only Sister, Maggie 
Since young, my sister and
I have always shared a very close relationship because of the time we spent
alone at home when mum was working hard to support us single-handedly. Jie,
thank you for being such a sweet and encouraging elder sister although
sometimes you seem more like the younger one.
Your act-cute ways and sometimes-irritating-and-annoying actions never fail to cheer me up and that make you all the more special and lovable to me. Also, thank you so much for being our Chinese emcee tonight! You don’t know how thankful Kelvin and I are that you are helping us. To My Stepbrothers & Their Families 
A big thank you to my
stepbrothers especially Uncle Andrew for being such a great help to my family.
To Kelvin’s Parents 
Daddy, Mummy - I know you
had your hands full raising Kelvin, but you have influenced and molded him into
the man he is today, the man whom I so dearly love! Thank you also for your
acceptance of me to be a part of your family.
To Kelvin's Brother, Kenny
Kenny Boy, thank you also
for being very welcoming. And most importantly, for flying some 6,031
kilometres back to Singapore to our emcee tonight.
To My Jie-Mei(s)
Melodie, Jeannie, Pie Ling,
Jane, Jocelin - Thank you for being ever supportive and helpful despite all
your busy schedules. You girls have made me feel like a princess today! Special
thanks to Melodie and Pie Ling for your ever-ready responses to help me out
when I needed advice during the course of preparing for this occasion.
To Kelvin’s Xiong-Di(s)
Kenny, Amos, Prashant,
Mahesh, Stanley - Thank you for being super accommodating and sporty this
morning! I believe you all have proven your brotherhood and support for Kelvin!
To My Bosses & Colleagues
Thank you Ajay, Lin and
Prasad for your kind understanding the past few months when I was busy with the
house renovation and wedding preparations. And also, my dearest colleagues who
have to work doubly hard while I am on leave.
To Andrew, Keith and Mei
Our photographers and videographer! Thank you for running around with us since
morning and not forgetting the lovely pre-wedding shoot we had in July. You
guys are the very important people to help us keep this special day a lasting
memory.
(We forgot to take photos together!)
To My Dearest Husband, Kelvin
The journey of preparing for our
special day and getting our house ready has been fun and laughter-filled even
though there were various stressful junctures. All these involved plenty of
burnt weekends and many on-the-spot decision-makings but I am grateful that you
have been very patient with me! Marriage, as we have learnt, should be based upon an unconditional commitment and a sacrificial love for one another and these 2 conditions have to be fulfilled in order for it to work. To me, marriage can be seen as a roller coaster ride. It will not be all sunshine and rainbows - The ups and downs; twists and turns are what define a good ride. The best thing about it is having someone beside you to hold your hand and let you know that you are safe. Today, I have married a man whom I know will hold my hand to make me feel protected. I cannot fully articulate what you mean to me and how much love I have for you, but I know I am definitely looking forward to my new role as your wife and your constant supporter. Lastly and most importantly, I promise to love and cherish you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how - completely and forever. |
