Justice of Peace-Prof Yu Shi Ming

Hi there
I initially wanted to have Prof Yu but I have since changed my mind.. I do not like his attitude..
I prev. emailed him in Jan to ask if he could solemnize my wedding in Dec. At that time he told he to confirm again with him at a later date.. I jz emailed him last week to check if he will be available & his reply to me was "Ok, since you are so persistent, I have penciled in your request for 6.15. Pl confirm again when registration opens next month."
I dont think that there is anything wrong w me asking and he did not need to say that I was persistent.. Jz felt that he could have worded his reply in a better way..
Now I have to start lookin for a JP again.. Any recommendations?
Tried Mr Chan Kai Yau, Mr Sim Khee Wang, Mr Yeo Woon Soo all not available..

I've just gotten married a week ago and the ceremony was presided over by Prof Yu. He was very efficient and friendly through my email exchanges with him, however he was completely different on the AD.
The ceremony was intended to start at 5pm, it however started about 5:05pm. I have had feedback from various helpers that Prof Yu was unhappy possibly because nobody 'received' him when he arrived? At many times he told my cousin that "I can actually leave one you know?" This admittedly was my fault as I had forgotten to delegate someone to look out for him (I was in the bridal suite and 'cannot be seen' until the march in).
Our ceremony was very short - we were asked to say our vows together which I thought was a bit weird? Then after signing the certificate, my photographer requested me n my hubby to take a photo with our parents. Prof Yu then walked over after, saying that "it's ok, JP is not important, no need to take photos. Anyway I gotta go". So I tried to hold him back by saying no no, let's take a photo, but he insisted on going. So my hubby had to run after him with the ang bao and apologised for starting the ceremony late (mind you, 5mins late). Then Prof Yu uncharacteristically said, I need the car park coupon, parking here is very expensive!!!
My receptionists also told me he was rude to my guests by telling them "Yes you are very late!!!"
I think these were completely unnecessary as he was there to preside over a happy occasion, just thought it is completely unprofessional of him.
We only 'selected' him cos he was my lecturer in NUS and he came so highly recommended on the forum. Maybe he thinks he is a celebrity now.

I won't recommemd him unless you are able to prepare fully before he arrives. Unfortunately, for weddings its hard to estimate the timings.
He is strict with timings and granted that we started our ceremony 5 minutes late, he was exasperated with us. So choose him only if you are able to receive him. You wouldn't want to arrive to an upset congregation
