Marriage Vows

As a Deputy Registrar of Marriage and Licensed Solemnizer appointed by Singapore's Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, I regularly conduct marriage ceremonies for young couples.

I want to thank my friends Keng Boon and Huey Fang whose marriage I solemnized yesterday in a civic ceremony at the Singapore Arts Museum Auditorium for the encouragement they brought me:
You touched me not only with your faithful and earnest attendance at the foundations for Christian Marriage course but even more with your determination to memorize your vows (which you also executed perfectly!). Clearly, amidst tears of joy, you meant every word you said, and are firmly resolved for your marriage to last a lifetime, as God intended it when he created marriage. May His blessings accompany you and His grace be sufficient for you throughout all your days!

Dear Tak Meng,

Thanks for the time and effort that you have taken to walk us through the path of matrimony; from the marriage prep lessons, to the rehearsal, to the actual ceremony.

Indeed, we are fortunate that you had agreed to solemnize our marriage. As Royston once said to us, it is certainly more meaningful to get somebody we know compared to someone whom we approach from the list of registrars from ROM.

You have been a figure of calm which we really appreciated amidst the slight chaos just before the ceremony. You have conducted the ceremony in heartwarming and touching fashion; an emotional moment which we still remember vividly.

As we begin our lives together in matrimony amongst well wishes from friends and families, our blessings go to you and Leng Leng as well. We wish you both every happiness and health throughout your days.

PS: we will be uploading the photos on that day online after the photographer has edited them. Will love to share it with you when they are ready!
