A post shared by Tay Ying 郑颖 (@tayying_)
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 fulfillment 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 no longer 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.

The Projector bows out. And what's next for indie culture in Singapore, Lifestyle News
The Projector has gone dark. Singapore's beloved indie cinema and arts venue entered voluntary liquidation today and ceased operations on Aug 19, 2025; ending a decade of screenings, festivals, parties and first dates that didn't look or feel like anywhere else. Across the years (since its 2014 revival at Golden Mile Tower and later pop-ups at The Cathay, Cineleisure and Riverside Point), The Projector did the unfashionable work: platforming non‑blockbusters, LGBTQ+ stories, regional indies, restorations, and late‑night cult chaos. It became a third place as much as a theatre: a bar you could wander into alone and leave with three film recommendations and a new friend. A full house inside The Projector's cinema hall, with audiences seated on tiered red steps watching a film screening on the big screen. How did we get here? The news landed hard because it came fast. Only weeks ago, there were announcements about returning to Golden Mile and a calendar stretching into September. Then, silence, and a final post. "Honestly very surprised… they only announced four weeks ago they were moving back to Golden Mile," one Redditor wrote. Another added: "They even planned for shows in Sep ahead." The timeline of the last month tells its own story of pivots and pressure, ending in an immediate curtain call. Illuminated marquee sign listing upcoming shows at The Projector, Singapore in 2019, including Powder Social Club, Tropika, and Moonbeats x Interstellar. What people remember The tributes pouring in say more than any obituary could. "Always more than a cinema… Singapore just lost a gem," shared @cinephilesg on Instagram. "You gave us so many awesome memories… You were a home for so many," another longtime follower posted. People miss the specifics: cinnamon popcorn, the little monthly zines, and that pre‑roll warning against the "pocket beacon of dumfuggery" featuring the infamous "Turkish Luke Skywalker." Others recall The Room spoon‑throwing nights, queer film spotlights, and the chance to catch a festival darling months before any awards buzz. What this closure asks of us The official note pointed to rising costs and shifting habits. None of that is new, but the loss clarifies the question: if we want spaces that make room for risk and nuance, how do we help them breathe? Maybe that looks like lighter‑weight pop‑ups in borrowed rooms. Maybe it's stronger support for distributors who bring the good stuff in. Maybe it's the unglamorous choice to buy the ticket, show up on a weeknight, and stay for the post‑film chatter. For ten years The Projector proved there's an appetite here. For the odd, the tender, the urgent. We didn't always love the rock‑hard seats or the sound bleed, but we loved that it existed. If there's a legacy worth keeping, it's the permission it gave us: to be curious, to gather, to argue, to care. The screens are dark; the impulse they nurtured doesn't have to be.

Singer Tamar Braxton says she 'almost died' in weekend accident
Singer, actor and reality TV star Tamar Braxton said Tuesday (Aug 19) that she 'almost died' in a weekend accident that she doesn't remember. 'I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury,' Braxton wrote in an Instagram post. 'I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility." She added: 'I don't even know what happened to me.' Braxton, 48, earlier in the day had posted 'Thank you God for waking me up today,' in an Instagram story. She said she was getting calls after and was struggling to talk so she shared what had happened to her. The post also said 'the way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins… pray for me for real'. An email to Braxton's manager seeking more details was not immediately answered. Braxton was part of a singing group with her sisters, including Toni Braxton, who went on to a major solo career. They and other family members appeared on the reality series Braxton Family Values starting in 2011, and Tamar Braxton has since appeared in spin-offs and other reality shows. As an actor, her recent credits include the TV series Kingdom Business. And she has spent much of the year on a solo singing tour.
