JP - Sim Khee Wang a.k.a Simon Sim

[purpleh]

Hello all, thought I start a new thread with regards to Mr Sim since I can't find him on any other threads. Mr Sim is a Free-lance Family Life Coach-- check out his pic and profile at: http://www.mediacorpradio.sg/maybebaby/speakers.html
He is very passionate about his work and I have engaged his as my JP. For those who need to know, he is a Christian. Will update more about him after my ROM this Sunday! =D

Hi Purple, I've attended one of his talk which i find it so meaningful. I will like to engage him as my solemnizer too. But my date is gonna be on a weekday. Could u help to ask if he accepts requests on weekdays? Thanks alot!

 

[purpleh]

Hi Priscilla,

Yes! I found his talks useful too. He was also very nice to make us do some short test to find out about each other during our meet up with him. It's really useful =D

I can check with him on that qn, but actually you should just directly email him on the date (his email add. is on the list of licensed solemniser under the name of Sim Khee Wang). He respond fast for emails. He may already have been booked by someone else on the day that you want. Told me he now has 40 to do this year and counting. Wat a passionate man! =D

 

[purpleh]

Yep, he does accepts weekday requests.

 

[priscilla0980]

YEAH! Great news!
Actually mine is not going to be any sooner this yr...should be happening nxt yr. So do not want to 'disturb' the solemnizers yet...

hi purple! how was ur solemnization and how was mr sim? =)

 

[purpleh]

It went well even though it was raining the whole day =( Lucky for me the place had shelter.

Mr Sim came well ahead of time and had brunch at the club. He came up in the same lift as my sister-in-law, who told me that she recognise him as the JP immediately as he had the very wise JP look! lol
I would say he dressed very smartly, see the attached pic

(I hope Mr Sim, you wont mind me sharing your pic? I think you look nice here =D)

Though some of my guests dont understand english and he can only do the english version, he made the ceremony a more relaxing one with the wise advise he gave to all, during the ceremony.

Hi purple!

Congrats! Thanks for ur reply. I have emailed mr sim and he has agreed to be our JP too.
May i know how long ur ceremony took? I dun like the kind where the jp say the vows and the couple repeat after him and then the whole ceremony is over in like 5 mins. So glad to hear that he will share advice etc. This makes the ceremony much more meaningful. Hee hee...

 

[purpleh]

Oh my, I didn't time it... certainly didn't take just 5mins. Feelsquite some time actually, dunno cos I'm nervous or wat. The fact that we still manage to get plenty of photos throughout says quite a bit.

I think best to set aside at least half an hour for e whole thing, cos need to wait for ppl to seat down, take pictures, take ic etc...
Btw, we didn't repeat vows after him. Rather, after the 'I do, I will ' part, we each said our vows ourselves. He said his first, using e printed copy from Mr Sim, then after I tried to say mine from memory (which I failed, ended up still peeped at e paper !) Lol.

 

[bebelee]

Haha thanks for all the answers to my queries. Yah i will prob print out my vows. I dun tink i will be able to remember what i wanna say too. =p

 

[brandon2010]

He's realli good. he was my JP for my wedding on the 15th Jan 2011. arrived 10 mins before time and very patient and understanding.

My brother in law had engage him for his wedding too.

 

[strikingreality]

Simon was my instructor for my Marriage Preparation Course (together with his wife, Bee Chin). He is really very nice, but we didn't engage him as our JP because he cannot speak mandarin well.

 

[janicechong]

Hi, Does Mr Sim speak mandrain?

 

[purpleh]

Sorry Brandon, I believe from other people's post I have read, he's not very good at it. =p

 

[brandon2010]

yes, Mr Sim dont really speak mandarin.
but he's a fun guy and make the whole process more relax.

Will be attending another solemnization by him in 2 weeks time.

 

[jhtan]

Hi Brandon Tay, how was Mr Sim's solemnization that you just attended in May? Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

 

[yesterdayschild]

Mr Sim was our solemniser. He's really cool! great choice! =)

 

[pearllim]

Yes, I saw him at my friend's wedding too.

He did the solemnization very professionally and friendly.

I will engage him for my solemnization too.

 

[wintumnsky]

Does he mention any Christian stuff during d solemnisation?

 

[cute_miaw]

I just get a save "our" date mail from Mr.Simon.
So happy ^^... now we just wait to see him to sign Consent to Solemnize form.

By the way, should I fill in the Notice of Marriage before get sign on the Consent to Solemnize from the solemnizer... or just fill it after solemnizer confirm to attend ?

We quite rush in time since there's requirement : "For couples where at least one party is not a SC or SPR, the 15-day requirement will continue to apply and at least one of them has to be physically present within Singapore for a minimum of 15 days before the date of notice of marriage."

Me & HTB are not Singaporean, neither PR holder.
But he's holding a working permit in SG.

Thank you
Any advise on this ?

-- I prefer chop chop, all done in 15-20mins as I'm having solemnisation on the AD.

2) whether he incorporates Christian preaching in his solemnisation?
-- I prefer not

This thread doesn't seem to receive many responses. I've contacted Mr Sim as I just attended his marriage preparation course and found him to be a very entertaining speaker and would like him to be my JP. I'm not sure about point 1) but for point 2), I've just emailed him and he can deliver the solemization in a secular mode. Hope this helps!

Hi Ladies!

My solemnization by Mr. Simon Sim was completed within 30 mins. It is crucial that you inform him on what you would like him to tap on/not (if you are/not comfortable with preaching), during your one and only meeting with him. I thought it was kind of him to make us go through a 'marriage survey' to find out what we should work on as a couple.

He delivered a wonderful speech for us, as well as our guests for that day, on being how one should be supportive of each other, and that a marriage is not a bed of roses, but the start of a new path of adapting and accepting each other's flaws as our strengths. He had the crowd laughing to his intelligent jokes, and agreeing to his wise words. Being a humorous, professional and kind man he is, he didn't fail us that evening.

Hope this helps!
