Collection of Wedding Certificate at ROM - Date:27/05/2009

Pic: At Fort Canning Park with Michelle waiting for our turn

Matthew was very nervous on this day. Our original ROM day was 28th June 2009, 628, 628... Sounds very auspicious ya? We had see a Geomancer to get pick our date above so that it would clash with the Ba-Zi of our parents.

For some unexpected circumstances, we had our ROM pushed forward to 29.05.2009. SSSShhhhh... Secret... 529,529, 529.....Chang Chang 9 9~~~ Best of all is Chinese Lunar 5 Yue Chu 6.... Dumpling festival and same ROM date (we didn't plan this haha) as my Bro & Sis in Law Richard and Norani...

We would collect our cert 2 days in advance. There was a very nice officer there would really help us alot. Prior to that, we were also fortunate that my neighbour Mr Tan Ah Pek, BBM (L) would graciously & kindly agree to be our solemnizer. Michelle can't stop smiling. Same for me; it is the start of lives together as Lao Gong & Lao Po

Dating Day

On our way to Daddy's & Mummy's office at Ang Mo Kio Ave 5 (Matthew's Dad & Mum).

This day was a very special day for us. We drove from Sengkang to Ang Mo Kio office to ask mummy & daddy if we could get married.

Lucikly for us, phew~~~, mummy says yes without much hesitation hehe :D

Daddy would follow mummy as well.

Matt then called up Uncle Ledi & Auntie Sioe Tjin (Matthew's prospective in laws) for their permission to marry Michelle.
