Time truly flies! It's been a thrilling six months since Shila Amzah, Malaysia's beloved songbird, and her sweetheart, Harris, embarked on their journey as husband and wife. Their wedding, a blend of traditional elegance and modern flair, still resonates in my memories.
I had the distinct honor of being personally invited by Shila to play a pivotal role in their celebration as the MC at their grand wedding reception in Kuala Lumpur. Anticipating the event, I was aware of Shila's international acclaim in the music world. Yet, the actual day surpassed all my expectations with its meticulous attention to detail and a harmonious blend of traditional Muslim practices with contemporary international elements.
The scale of the celebration was nothing short of spectacular, especially when compared to typical Aussie weddings. With over a thousand guests, including the presence of the Royal family, it was not just a wedding but a grand festival of love and joy – a first for me in terms of Malay weddings and certainly one of the most formal events I've ever emceed.
The reception itself was a cascade of unforgettable moments. Shila, in her stunning black princess gown, was the epitome of elegance. The highlight for many, including myself, was when she serenaded the aisle with ‘Perfect’ alongside Harris – a genuinely magical moment that encapsulated their love and joy. The saying "Happy Wife, Happy Life" seemed to come alive in that very instant.
The night reached new heights when Shila debuted her new Chinese song "When We Grow Older". This beautiful melody, symbolising the eternal union of their souls, was a heartfelt dedication to Harris.
As the night drew to a close with a memorable group photo, I was left reflecting on the beauty and warmth of the occasion. It was not just a celebration of Shila and Harris's love, but also a testament to the power of music and tradition in bringing people together.
Wishing Shila and Harris a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and harmony. Their wedding was not just an event; it was a beautiful beginning to their new life chapter.

With just 6 weeks notice my wife and I were asked to arrange a Chinese wedding, as the “adopted parents”. With the Bride and Groom’s families unable to travel from China, the most important first step was to engage a personable, Mandarin speaking Celebrant. Well, we certainly got lucky when we “googled” and found the most delightful Lin Tan. From our first meeting with Lin, we knew we had chosen well. Lin is a very professional and thorough Celebrant. During the planning and rehearsal stages, we knew this wedding was going to be a great start for the newly-weds. With the ceremony being live streamed to the families in China, it was most important to have Lin conduct the wedding vows in both Mandarin and English. It was beautifully done with a nice balance of humour while carrying out all the relevant formalities. I can most sincerely recommend Lin for your marriage celebrant. Trevor
