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.
