What will the ideal time to meet Mr Chan before ROM date? 1 month?
Carowl, it depends. I am supposed to meet him this week but our schedule do not permit, which is why it's postponed till next week.
My understanding is you need to bring the consent form for him to sign. But heard from other BTBs, he will usually bring the consent form too......
I KS, so I think I'll bring one myself.

Hi Queen,
Guess 3 months before is to get his license number to efile online since that is the earlier you can efile for your marriage.
No worries, I thot he was kinda stern as well. But he is very kind and crack some jokes during my ROM in oct..
Hi Kelly,
My friend gave $38 during her's in May and i gave $48 for mine in Oct. It's up to you, the min recommended is $28. You can work along that range..

Yup. I agreed.. secure the date first.
We met up with Mr. Chan 2 week before verification date. He normally meet up closer to the date.
I didn't know he has a secretary.. Could it be Mrs Chan?

Hi all,
Just like to share my experience with Mr Chan. My ROM was at the end of last month. I had organised my ROM at my own place.
Imagine Mr Chan appearing an hour before the agreed timing...with barely any guests arrived yet...and the first word he said is...
"Sorry I am late, are we starting yet?, becos I need to leave in 20 minutes later for another couple's ROM."
My Solemnisation was brought forward half an hour as a result with only 50% of my guests arrived. At the end of the session, he was in such a rush that he did not even bother to take a photo with me and my wife.
So this is a reminder if you want someone who is hot on demand.
Just to share my view of him after my important day.
1) He don't smile at all...from beginning till end. The feeling is he is performing a task he has been asked to perform. No more, no less.
2) He is always having a dreamy look. The truth is he is very old. The kind of look like he is about to doze off... but he did not of course.
3) I think it's fair to say he is forgetful. I agreed on a timing with him initially. Then I change the time to one hour earlier... but he came 2 hours earlier and insist I was the one who gave him the timing wrongly.
4) Well, he was no help at all during my Solemnisation, no advice on the actual day or going through what I will be expecting. Have read from forum about those things but did not happen for me.
5) The only thing I got really pissed off (internally but did not show on my face) was that he said he will have no choice but to leave at certain time if I do not start my solemnisation ceremony soon. (remember ...he dun smile)
And imagine that this conversation was happening in front of all my relatives who have come earlier.
Luckily, my photographer came over to my side to remind me: "Don't care about him, remember that this is a once in a lifetime event. Just take your time.
To all who are having your ROM soon... do make lots of preparation in advance and but still prepare for minor hipcup mentally. Your ability to handle those situations will make or break the DAY.
Best wishes!

Yest, we just meet Mr Chan. True that he dont smile, but it doesnt matter. As long as my ROM day comes, everything go smoothly... it ok. Btw, he a very old man, we cant expected him to be smiling all the way, cos as wa I see he is popular and time to him is very impt. Maybe he is tired after rushing here and there. Old ppl tend to forget things easily... that y he stop working in a church.... if I am not wrong.
The buttom-line is, we all hope our ROM will go as smoothly as possible. Mine is coming up next week. Starting to get nervous.

Oh... how fierce is he.. he scold them? I am worry also for my ROM. He seem like nt as wa they say leh.
Hi ladies,
I just attend my good friend's ROM today. Their JP is also Mr Chan. He is still as good as ever. Please do not get affected by minor comments. He solemnises my ROM this June too. He may look stern but I assure you that he is professional enough to make your ROM memorable. Most importantly, he treat your ROM as a sacred event that all of us shouldn't take too lightly.
This is how I feel. = )

Hi Andy,
After reading your posting, I think that I should share my experience with the rest of BTB who has invited Mr Chan.
On that day of our ROM, it started to rain heavily and our ROM venue is at end Changi. Our ROM timing supposes to be at 6pm but he was late. As he has no HP to be contacted, I have to call his house and his wife told me that he left his house long time ago. Initial, we thought the cab has caught in the traffic jam due to heavy rain and after working hour so we decided to wait. After waited for ½ hour, we called his house again. Then we realized that he actually drive his car since 5.30pm. We started worried as we don’t know what happens to him as he has no HP to be contacted. And at the same time, our guest has waited in the Function room too. Out of no choice and we are unprepared, we have to starts our dinner course first. My hubby and I have no appetite to eat at all as we don’t know how to carry on the Solemnisation if he doesn’t turn up. About 7pm, Mr Chan called my H/P and guess what he said? “I can’t find my way to your place, can you arrange someone to pick me up?†We persuaded him to take cab but he said that “ I don’t like to take cab and since I can’t find the way there how can you ensure the cab driver know where the place is?†In the end, my hubby guarantees him that 80% of cab driver in Singapore will know where the place is….. So in the end, we started our ROM at 8pm….
Should you have meet up with Mr Chan, he will request for someone to pick him up on that day to your ROM venue. If you can’t offer to pick him up, please ENSURE that he really know the way to your ROM venue no matter rain or shine. (even you provide him the address and location) He will not take cab down to your ROM venue as he prefers driving his own car. (Fyi, we did checked with him whether he know how to come down and he tell us not to worry as he been there before).
However, from this incident we really have an unforgettable ROM and wedding. As I started worried and frown my eyebrow, my hubby still cracked joke to console me: “hey, today is our Big day! Even he don’t turn up, I will still take you as my wife.â€
Anyway, what I can comment is Mr Chan is still a responsible JP as he still turn up to solemnize for us and apologies too.

Hi Lynnette,
I do agree he is very professional and treat ROM as a sacred event.
But I still think that he should have a HP with him, in case there is any sudden hiccup.
Anyway, just to let the rest know what are the minor things that have to take note if you are going to invite Mr Chan.

Hi Vscent,
Before my ROM, I was so worried that he can't find his way to our ROM at Tampines. So, we decided to fetch him by hook or by crook to avoid any hiccup for our ROM. I can understand how you feel then. Very worried and panic as he didn't have a mobile phone with him.

Hi all,
All these small incidents makes me worried. 2 weeks later I will be efiling, have not get the license no. yet. Would like to confirm everything with him again.
But something I am very blur, i book my ROM place from 3pm-5pm, at first I told him 3pm, I wonder if it is better to tell him to come at 3.30pm instead??

Hi Xinyi,
I feel that you can either arrange somebody to fetch him (This is the best because you don't allow him to get lost or late), if not, provide him details of how to go to your venue will be good too.
My friend get her invited guests to reach at 12noon, Mr Chan arrives 5mins before 12.30pm, and their solemnization starts at 12.30pm. It's good to allow time for minor hiccups.
ROM is suppose to be a happy occasion. Please don't get stress out too much even before your actual day.
