SINGAPORE: A couple in Singapore has been praised for their thoughtfulness after putting up a notice in their HDB lift to apologise in advance for any potential noise during their wedding ceremony.

“We sincerely apologise in advance for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding,” the notice read, as seen in a TikTok video shared by user Ariel.
