Wedding playing and singing

Had a very busy Sat last week as was playing and singing for 2 of my friends' wedding, who also happened to be the godparents of my children. Knew them since Junior College days (equivalent to high sch) which is like 12 years ago...

Church wedding: had to play almost all the songs, except those which im singing lead or solo...One of the songs i had to transcribe was the wedding march out song which is jazzed up as requested by the couple

Another song to transcribe was The Prayer (Andrea Boncelli & Celine Dion), initially the bride wanted me to sing, but the priest said it was not liturgically correct?? So i had to play instrumental only...

After church wedding had ended, still had to stress over singing 2 songs at night, 1 of which i had to sing with the band, and only practised once just before the banquet. Here's My Cherie Amour , think i started shaky here and warmed up gradually due to nervousness...

And finally a very famous chinese oldie- Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin (Moon represents my heart). Played and sung this number, sounded more assured here. Changed part to bossanova style
