Weddings call for lovesick songs with sweet melodies, and local actress Tay Ying's family understood the assignment to a T.

In an Instagram post uploaded yesterday (June 16), her mum, veteran actress Hong Huifang, shared a music video dedicated to her marriage to celebrity chef Wu Sihan.

In Huifang's Instagram caption, she said: "May your marriage be blissful and may you cherish each other. May you be surrounded by love and know how to love. May you always carry the warmth from home with you in your journey of life.

"We love you and always will."

Besides Huifang, the heartwarming music video also features Tay Ying's father, veteran actor Zheng Geping, younger brother Calvert Tay who also produced the song, maternal uncle and godfather Hong Weiwen, as well as musician cousin Shin.

The song's lyrics are directed towards both Tay Ying and Sihan, with themes of the fulfilment behind love, and how a bride and groom should explore the potential of their lives together — from happiness and blessings, all the way to pain and difficulties.

The lyrics also warmly affirm the couple, with Tay Ying's family singing: "You're not alone anymore."

Huifang, Geping and Hong show themselves unfurling 'double happiness' paper cutouts, which symbolises the joy of each wedded partner. The video also contains clips of Huifang and Geping draping a bridal veil over their daughter, as well as her embracing her now-husband.

Celebrity friends took to the comments to share their adoration, including Yes 933 DJ Hazelle Teo, and actors Christopher Lee, Guo Liang and Kym Ng. 

Tay Ying, 29, and Sihan, 33, tied the knot on June 15 at Orchard Hotel — the same venue where Huifang and Geping were wedded 32 years ago.
