JP - Chan Kai Yau
- Thread starter wen~wen
- Start date
For the brides who have done the ROM ceremony with JP Chan, appreciate if you can explain how the whole solemnization goes to have a better idea. After he brief/intro the procedure, he will ask the groom and the bride, "will you....." and say "yes/i do"? When do we read out the vows? Each word after him or he will give a slip for us to read out loud? When exchange ring?
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help.

We dun have to read out the vows... simply repeat after him..while looking at one another...

The video reminds me of my own solemnisation by Mr Chan.. So short.. but sweet and memorable..
MZ>> Agree with Rach.. Relax and enjoy the moment.. BUT remember to answer his every questions LOUD and CLEAR...
Be prepared that Mr Chan will hand the ROM cert to the bride, not the groom, so I am sure ur hubby will be a bit surprised.. cos normally, the bridegroom will stand up and receive the cert.. Wahahaa.. But u dun have to be superly "gan cheong" to stand up to receive the cert from him too.. let him finish the "woman's charter" story.. he will automatically present the cert to u... ")

mz>> I think you wont have any free hand to hold to the paper you write... U have to hold the mic and ur hubby's hand while reading the vows.. And if i am not wrong, he expects u to look at ur hubby while reading the vows, not looking at a piece of paper..
If you do not want to repeat after him, you can memorise the whole thing.. BUT i wont advise this.. cos if u become too gan cheong.. u might forget everything.. Heheee.. Better to read after him.. Just my 2 cents worth...

Pinky> hihi..
There's no charges for JP..they are all volunteers..
There's just a guideline on rom website.. www.rom.gov.sg that says that we should give at least $28 to cover their transportation fees....
For Mr CHan.. being soooo experienced and soooo popular.. i think most people here will give him an Ang Pow of $38-$100... so its really up to you..
You can actually check out the procedure from the ROM website...
ACtually what do u need to know?? As long as you've confirmed ur Wedding date, call up the JP about 3-6 months in advance and nicely ask if he's available and if he can be ur JP on that day...
He'll check his schedule and let u know if he can make it.. let him know the venue n timing too..
3 months before your wedding date.. say 10 December, so by 10 Sept, you can efile at the website... you will need the JP's licence no. to efile.. So you can call your JP again on 10 Sept or after to get his licence number.. but u must efile min 25 days before ur ROM day....means anytime from 10 Sept to Mid Nov u can efile...
Then 3-4 days before ur actual day...you are supposed to go down to ROM and collect ur ROM certificate and some documents to bring back to the JP on ur actual day... oh .. before that.. you should meet up with your JP to sign the consent form...available on the web.. u can just print it out... on the day to go down to pick up ur cert, you will have to bring both witnesses NRIC copy, and the consent form.... and then u can just bring the cert and the whole envelope down to your venue on ur ROM day..
Thats all..

PINKY> cool!! Congrats!!
So u told him that u are not sure what to do??
I guess so.. since he gave u so much info..
When u meet him to sign consent form, he'll tell u what to do de..
You'll call him once u collected ur certs...about 3 days before ur ROM..
No need to call him after efile.. i think he'll know abt it too..
Garfield> hahhaa.. not fate la..
I'm everywhere ma.. hahahhaa..
Huh. dun think nice for me to put his no. here..
You should call him and double check if u really not sure man...
hahahhaa...
U know Orchard rite?? u know Lido cinema? Wheelock is opposite..the fountain is at the back.. near the Cafe... furthest point away from Lido...

jon_vin> you need to print out ur consent form from the website..
At ROM website...
He'll usually call u about 2 weeks before ur ROM to meet up.. if he has given u his licence number and confirmed that he is available..usually no issue..
Just wait for his call.. alternatively, you can call him abt 2 weeks before ur ROM to ask when u can meet up.... u need to bring the consent form to ROM when u collect ur certs..

I called Mr. Chan at about 9.10 pm. His line was engaged throughout the morning. As mentioned by the ladies above, he checked his schedule and told me to call him when I e-file for his licence number. I will e-file end of this mth
He was very serious - man of few words
I was fortunate to attend one of my friend's wedding where he was the solemnizer but I didn't know it was him! My SO got the contact from his friend, then we realised that he is Mr. Chan. He left a lasting impression and I'm glad he's available for my solemnization too.

Ferlis>> Bingo! U are very smart!
So, when are we meeting up for makan again? I gotten my wedding album le.. but hubby forbid me to put up all the pics.. cos he said, he wants to keep the guests in suspense.. If all see the pics liao, then, wats the point of bringing the album.. Haa.. he n his stupid theories! So, see when we can meet up, i show u my album.. not bad.. I like..
Its good tat u managed to get Mr Chan as ur solemniser cos I can say that he is very good! Tough stern.. and the ceremony was short and sweet.. My guests said that he's good! Humourous in his own serious style.. Thumbs up!
So, hows ur preps?

Hi Ferlis, may I ask if your ROM is on Sunday afternoon or evening? Mine is on a Sunday late afternoon (before banquet) and was hoping that Mr Chan could be my JP...but was told that the earliest he could make it is around 730. So am still looking for a JP as my preference would be to hold a simple ceremony in a function room before banquet starts.

hi everyone,
I m new to this tread. My HTB and I have already called Mr Chan up to be our solmmiser for our ROM in Feb'09 and he has agreed. Pls advise if i have to call him exactly 3months before or few days before 3 months before? Anyone have asked him before if can do our own personal vows? Did anyone in this forum did your own personal wedding vows with Mr Chan? So for transportation for Mr Chan, must we arrange cab to pick him up and send him back? Pls advise. Thank you.
