Hi ladies! My wedding is over and I'm here for an update!
I've approached Mr. Eric Wong only 2 months before my wedding because a well-known JP actually mixed up my solemnization time with another couple. I was very disappointed in this particular JP because not only he was one of the more popular ones but I've in fact confirmed with him 5 months before my wedding.
But anyway, Mr. Eric Wong was extremely good! Though he was a little lag in responding SMS, he will definitely give you a reply.
I managed to communicate with him via SMS and only meet up with him 15 minutes before my solemnization. He in fact reached 30 minutes and mingled with my helpers, chatting with them. He came over to my hubby and I and briefed us on what will be happening and what he will be saying.
I even told him that I'm nervous and he laughed with me, telling me that there's nothing to be nervous about. As we had to wait for a few more relatives, he was cool with it and told us not to worry as he did not have any appointments after that.
He was pretty assuring by praising us throughout the solemnization. He communicated with my PGs and even guided us on how to pose for photo taking.
When I did not hold my cert for photo taking, he teased me that it's very important as it protects me because it was under the Women's Chartered Act. That definitely eased my nervousness.
Worth engaging him as a Justice of Peace!
