Now it is time for us to invite Eric and Zoey’s parents, family members, brothers and sisters up on stage for the toasting ceremony and “YAM SENG” party! We need a lot of help for this, so please come on up! May they offer everlasting marital bliss and may their love be flowing and everlasting like the river! Let us invite the couple to give a toast to each other. Now let us give a round of applause to welcome the lovely bride and groom back into the hall! May I request everyone please return to your seats. The newly weds will soon once-again make their entry. Without your grace and presence, this banquet would not be a success. On behalf of the couple & their parents, I would like to once again thank everyone for being here today, for all your generous gifts and for all your well-wishes.

Today is a very special day for Eric, son of Mr & Mrs Chuah Peng Seng, and Zoey, daughter of Mr & Mrs Tang Lai Sang. I will be back in a short while, and till then, Bon Appetit! 待会见。 * side note, the wedding singers were really good! recommended!

You will be pleased that the food that has been painstakingly prepared for you is now ready to be served. Well ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure you must be hungry by now. Let us wish the couple a sweet and blissful marriage. Now Eric & Zoey shall proceed to the cake cutting ceremony which symbolizes the commitment to share and provide for each other. Without further ado, please whip out your handphones to capture this precious moment, let us rise and give a huge round of applause to welcome the newly-weds! From their littlest days growing up, to the first time they met, and finally falling in love.Īt this very moment our couple is waiting at the door to make their grand entrance. In just a moment, Eric and Zoey will be walking down this aisle.īut before that, let us take a short walk down memory lane and revisit Eric and Zoey’s life journeys. * side note: this is my usual running joke for all my emcee gigs. You can call me by my initials MC, and I will be your MC for today. I believe that this is an occasion many of us have been looking forward to. Once again, a very good afternoon to you ladies and gentlemen! I’m sharing my script here and hope that it will be of some use to other would-be but still relatively inexperienced emcees (like me).Īs the wedding ceremony will be beginning shortly, may I ask that guests please take your seats.

Very pleased with myself, and more pleased that I did not let down the happy couple. Mandarin words may be my mother tongue, but I hardly practise speaking it on a daily basis.Īfter all the confetti has been showered and the wine toasted, I’m just so glad the bride and groom had offered nothing but gratitude and praise for a job well done. And as it the first time I was doing this in a bilingual fashion (the last wedding I emceed was entirely in English), I had put in quite a bit of effort to adapt from existing scripts and practising the words. I took on doing both the English and Mandarin portions. It was a wedding that I had been hoping for for a very long time, and when she asked me if I could be the emcee, I said yes without any hesitation. I had the privilege of being the Master of Ceremonies for a friend’s wedding.
