10 takeaways from Fann and Christopher’s wedding - By Keith Lin, MSN Singapore Editor, 30/09/2009

What we scribbled in our notepads after catching the Wedding of the Year.

AN ESTIMATED 1,000 friends, family members and well wishers of Singapore's most celebrated celebrity couple witnessed their long-awaited union on Tuesday evening, and we at MSN were one of them. Ok, so technically we didn't make it to the Shangri-La, but we did feel involved enough to get up from our TV couch and join the lusty yam seng chorus during the live telecast. We swore we heard the neighbours as well.

In any case, here are some of our scattered thoughts and observations after catching what was undoubtedly THE Wedding of the Year.

1. We're curious what gave rise to the Bollywood theme - from the Taj Mahal décor to Chris' Nehru-inspired wedding suit to Fann's gem-encrusted head shawl and henna-painted hands. All that was lacking was Shah Rukh Khan making a guest appearance from behind the fake coconut tree in the hotel lobby.

I know it is different, unique and naturally celebrities would want to stand out and not be the same as the others. However you can still stand out and be really gorgeous coz with your face, half (or more) the battle is already won. OR you can stand out and be really weird..which is Fann. So what if the dress is from Bally and is damn expensive..I think it is damn argly...Where is that VERA WANG? And even so the VERA WANG dress that she chose is soooooooooo normal lor....

I thought at least Christopher looks good in that Bollywood suit. That is indeed different, standing out and looking so good nobody else can compare.


The other evening dresses (shown in 8 Days) also nothing extraordinary leh... think her other dresses in previous events nicer.


2. Was it just us, or did the entire night seemed like it was straight out of a Channel 8 drama serial script? I mean, even Fann's comics-driven welcome message had the quintessential 'if you drink, don't drive' Public Service Announcement!

Ya and I thought the professionals can do a better slapstick video of the biscuit story ...the very-difficult-to-watch video using scenes from the Condor Heroes kinda goes to show what kind of "standard" we have at MediaCorp man. Please. And you cant blame me from being glued to Gossip Girl, the Mentalist, Chuck etc... No wonder I have friends who swore that they dont watch Channel 8 and 5 dramas.

3. Well-wishes from the guests. When interviewed, celebrity aesthetic doctor Georgia Lee hoped that the couple would "look young forever". Freaky.

And sms from pple all over Singapore who the couple dont even know. Weird la.

4. Patricia Mok's performance as bridesmaid during the traditional Chinese wedding door games was disappointing. We had high hopes for the ah lian comedienne, and expected nothing short of a solid tekan (torture) session for the groom and his mates. In the end, all Chris had to do were lame forfeits like wolfing down roti prata - apparently his favourite snack. Whose side was she really on?

Ya lor I thought the groom got away easy...sweating coz it is hot mah..Singapore weather in that SUIT. And seriously, his brothers, some of whom are calefares acting as the baddie, rapist etc are so irritating to watch. And one of Fann's jiemei is Hello Kitty Dawn Yeoh? SERIOUSLY?? Fann so gd fren with her ar. Both like to act cute maybe?

5. The groom finally gets to his bride, and remarks that he had to 'sweat like crazy' in the process. Fann's comments? A terse 'I was getting really cold waiting for you'. We hope she's not getting cold feet after getting a whiff of Chris's man perfume.

See comment above. Also, the hen's night/party is SO LAME and unmemorable. STEVEN LIM? Her friends must really hate her alot.

6. Handing out photo-personalised luggage tags as doorgifts for their rich and famous guests was a cute idea, albeit not a very smart one. Unless of course, you want to tell the whole world "I'm a celebrity, get my bag outta here" the next time you travel.

7. We're sure ex-Mediacorp artiste Jacelyn Tay has staved off her bankruptcy woes to become a millionaire businesswoman. We're not so sure why then did she have to disguise herself in androgynous clothes. Obviously, it didn't work.

She mentioned that she cut her hair short and no dresses seemed to fit her new hairstyle dats why. So celebs also got bad haircuts huh...or rather ex-celeb. She didnt go to David Ah-Bu Gan meh. He must be too busy with Fann. Oops. And if you know you are going to a wedding where all yr ex-colleagues are going to be there and the MEDIA and whole world will be watching...why you go cut yr hair short. How old already still dont know that women shouldnt cut their hair short unless they REALLY look gd in short hair?

8. More celebs spotted. This time it's Xiang Yun, or to be more precise, her crazy-perm hairdo that screamed 'Ah Soh'. If this is the veteran actress's method of clamouring for more auntie roles, she definitely gets my vote.

Yah another one dont understand...want to look gd at a celebrity wedding but in the end looks bad.


9. I can understand if you secretly wept while watching Fann's touching 'biscuit pledge' to Chris, but bosom buddy David Gan bursting into tears during the traditional yam seng toast, that I don't get.

David Ah-Bu Gan thought he gave birth to Fann and Chris. Oh please.


10. And finally the biggest question of all: Where in the world was fellow Caldecott Ah Jie Zoe Tay on the night?

There can only be one queen that night and she has to be FANN. Hence.
