I don't believe it!

I swear the whole world is getting married! We went for our appointment at the ROM for verification of our documents. The timeslot given was 830am - 930am. We managed to reach around 845am. And guess what?! Our queue no. was 62! There were SO many couples there and apparently some of them have already left. GOSH! Are there really SO many people getting married? I wonder if there is only 1 day per week allocated for couples to go and do the verification or is it like that everyday? If it is like that everyday, the government should not be worried that Singaporeans are not getting married and having babies. But then again, having babies is another topic, which I shan't go into it here.

We didn't wait very long. When it was our turn, our documents were verified and on the spot, we get to see our Certificate of Marriage. It was all printed out nicely and all we have to do was to check. I thought that was all, but no, we need to sign another form stating that we are conscending adults, above 21 yrs of age, have not been married previously, blah blah..AND before signing the form, we have to take turns to raise our right hand and read out loud. It was funny in the sense that there were many, let's call them, adminstrators, and each couple was "assigned" to one. So everyone was standing at the counter, raising their right hand and reading out loud. *laughs* Luckily I managed to read through the whole "passage" without laughing. We left with our Certificate of Marriage which we are supposed to bring on our day of solemnisation.

4 more days.......
