Fritz Quartet @ Raffles Hotel

Wedding of Brian & Ruixin
10 Oct 09



After 7 months worth of email exchanges, we finally met Brian and Ruixin today! Originally, we were scheduled to play under a gazebo at the lawn (as seen in sign above), but just when we were about to start the ceremony, it began to rain! A mad scramble ensued as everyone dashed for shelter. Thank goodness the Casuarina Suite had been reserved for wet weather plans, and so we proceeded to the new venue, this time, an indoor venue.

For the wedding, Brian and Ruixin had specially requested for a hymn "Great is thy Faithfulness" to be performed. They also had a singer, Delia, leading the hymn. The room provided an intimate setting as the couple recited their vows.

After the couple had marched out to the tune of Trumpet Voluntary, we performed Por Una Cabeza to round off the entire event as the guests proceeded to East India Rooms for their wedding lunch.

"Thank you for making our wedding a memorable one. Your rendition of Great is Thy Faithfulness was one of the best that we've heard. We're still amazed at how you guys managed to play such lovely music using the simple scoresheets that we sent you! The music you provided really helped make the wedding ceremony all that more beautiful.

We have attached some photos taken during the service with this email for your keepsake. Thanks once again, and all the very best!
