Dear btb-s.. I've just had my solemnization last nite n I would say it really went very well. And of coz my JP is Dr Phua!
I emailed him exactly 3 mths beforehand n got his reply within the same day. But due to sch reopen, I had to delay the solemnization from 630 to 7pm. N he was agreeable to it taking into consideration tt it is our special day.
On the day itself, he reached 10-15min before 7 n was patiently waiting for others to arrive though he did specify that he is gg to start at 7 sharp. We started slightly after 7pm n he was all the while trying to calm us down as we were both very ganjiong..
As our parents prefers to hold the ceremony in mandarin, and we had non Chinese friends there.. He made a point to bring our non Chinese friends into the picture by explaining to them abt the whole ceremony.. And he really did a nice one with all the talking.. He's not like some JP who is those "get over n done with" kind.. He really made the effort to explain n talked to us abt marriage.
Mi n hubby r so glad that we managed to have Dr Phua as our JP and I'm sure he'll also do a great one in your solemnization. Hope u gals can get him in time!!!
rem to book him early as he's very popular!!!
