6 Reasons to Come Early For Our Wedding!

  1. Create our guestbook! Guests will be able to create our guestbook from scratch (almost) using scrapbooking materials. Don’t worry if you are not artistically inclined – it will be fun and simple!

  2. Thumbprint Portrait! Each and everyone of you have played a significant part in our lives. Ink your presence with your thumbprint on our canvas which will be displayed in our future home.

  3. Mega-photogallery! Besides the “standard” wedding photos, there will be 2 decades worth of photos of our friends and family! Come early and spot yourself!

  4. Time to Catch-up! We would like to spend more time catching-up with friends and family whom we haven’t met for a while. So do come early for extra chit-chat time!

  5. Free entrance to Sentosa! Our wedding invite functions as a free ticket into Sentosa Island! So if you have not visited Sentosa for a while, why not come early to explore the new attractions? The hotel's location at sentosa cove makes you forget that you're in Singapore. Come enjoy the feel!

  6. Beat the Jam! Avoid the Saturday evening jam into Sentosa (and get the choice parking lots as well).




So see you at W Sentosa Cove on 7 Dec at 6.00pm
(or even earlier)!

"Aren't you guys married already?"



We've been receiving a flurry of questions from our friends upon notifying them about the date of our wedding, the most common being: "Aren't you guys married already?". The 2nd most common question would probably be: "Why is your wedding date so far apart from your ROM date?" To answer all these questions once and for all, here are the reasons for choosing to hold our wedding separately from our ROM...

  1. My Grandmother. My (maternal) grandmother was in poor health when we were engaged. We decided to hold an early ROM in case her health deteriorated. My beloved grandmother has since passed away earlier this year, but we are glad that she managed to see us exchange our rings.

  2. Housing concerns. We decided that having a marriage cert would give us more housing options in Singapore. Yes, you could apply for a HDB flat without a marriage cert, but this does not hold true for resale properties, or properties in the private market. True enough, the marriage cert came in handy when we applied for our Executive Condominium last month.

  3. More time for planning and execution. Delaying our wedding ceremony allowed us more time to plan, as well as more time to save up on resources (ie. money...) Taking the ROM ceremony out of the wedding day will allow us more time on the actual day itself to travel and rest.

  4. A 'mini-rehearsal' before the actual wedding. Planning for our ROM allowed us to have a taste of organising such events before moving on to the larger scale wedding. We were able to choose our team of brothers/sisters, photographers and videographers with little hesitation for our wedding as we have already worked with them before.

So yes, we are legally married, but we haven't had the traditional gate-crashing, tea-ceremony and dinner banquet yet. And in a lot of our elders' eyes, we aren't married until we have gone through the traditional rites. Hopefully this answers the queries :)

Wedding Banquet

Our wedding banquet will be held at W Sentosa Cove's Great Room on 7th Dec 2013.



The search for the location for our banquet venue actually deserves a separate post but to cut the story short, the 2 of us settled with this location because we want this day to be as unique an experience for both our guests and ourselves.

This part of Singapore has morphed into a place I could almost forget I am still in Singapore and the hotel W lived to our expectations of being refreshingly quirky and memorable.

We look forward to you joining us on 7th December 2013.
