JP

We were informed to contact our JP for her to walk us through the procedure of getting our marriage filed and signing some necessary documents before our ROM.

JP Wong emailed us and there were a few sample vows as well:

Option 1:

In token & pledge, of our constant faith,and abiding love, with this ring, I marry
you.


Option 2:

In sickness, I will nurse you to health.
In health, I will nurture you.
In sadness, I will bring you joy.
In happiness, I will share it with you.
In poverty, I will make our love rich.
In wealth, our love will not grow poor.
When you need encouragement, it will be from me.
When you need a helping hand, it will be mine.
With this ring as a token, I now marry you.


Option 3:

I vow to always keep my love, as pure as it is today.
In your laughter, and your tears, in your sickness and your health.
In your comfort and your fears, in your poverty and your wealth.
I promise to be true to you, I promise to cherish you.
I give this ring, as a token, I now marry you.


Option 4:

I, ...................... , take you ................... , to be my wedded wife/husband, to have & to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness & in health, to love & to cherish and to obey as long as we both shall live.


Vow in Mandarin:

Wei le xiang zhen wo liang dui bi ci yong yuan zhong xin, ai qing yong heng, wo jin song ni zhe mei jie zhi, he ni jie hun.



I still remember vividly when my friend posted her wedding vow (Option 1) and their ROM photos on FB and I was moved to tears. Option 1 is sweet and touching but it's not long enough to make the solemnisation memorable.

I like Option 3 & 4. But I would still prefer to personalise my vow if possible. Got to start thinking of what I want to say on that day...

The filing of marriage task was handed to my hubby-to-be cos it was a little complicated to me and I fear I might miss out some important procedures. We are quite excited and looking forward to meet up with our JP now but most likely it would have to be after the CNY.
