Hubby and Me woke up ard 9am to wash up and get ready to go for breakfast before we headed down to the ROM Office to do Statutory Declaration (SD) and to do all our checking for the detail printed on our Marriage Certificate from 10.30am - 11.30am.
We were told to bring along a copy of the Filing Instructions printout. Noted the number on our printout? Yes, it is 81. That meant when we reached, there were already 80 people ahead of me waiting to go SD. There all together 5 counters opened up to serve couples.
We were told to fill up a form and given a copy of the checklist for soleminsation. Haha.... We didn't waited long before our turns came. The lady by the name if Ms Goh served us was so polite and full of smiling make us felt at ease. She proceeded to ask questions and after that she explained to us that we have to do a oaths. 1st time in my life to lift up my left hand and do swearing of Oaths at the counters itself. Look abit funny but still every couple are the same. So it didn't make much differences. Haha... Luckily, all went smoothly and both of us cleared the Oaths part.
Next is to check the all of particulars on the marriage Cert.
After that, we went on to check the particulars of the white copy of the Marriage cert which would require us to sign on the day of our ROM on 1st September 2008. After that this white copy is to be mailed back to ROM IMMEDIATELY within 3 days of our ROM. if not the marriage will be deemed fit as null and void. But don't worry, my soleminiser will do it for us.
After that, she give us an Envelope and a beatiful golden folder to keep our marriage certificate. She asked me to sign a document to state that i had collected all the document required on the day of ROM as required under the Woman Chapter Law that Lady will collect the certificate.
After which, she given us another folder containing some marriage handouts. At last, before we left the counter, she wished us all the best. Thanks Ms Goh! With that, we left ROM Office happily.
