Solemnization #4 - Very First Call "Will you be my Solemnizer pls?"

Me: Hello, can i speak to Eric Wong pls? (forgot to say 'Mr'... too nervous!)

JP: Yes

Me: Erm... we would like to invite you to be our solemnizer.

JP: *paused a while* (maybe too shocked by my sudden statement. Oops!) date, time and venue?

Me: 1 Jan 2011, 12 noon, Sentosa's Suburbia restaurant.

JP: *paused a while again* Call me back in 10 mins, and i will check my schedule to let u know.

Me: Ok, sure, thanks alot.

Now waiting for the 10 mins to call him again. *tensed* Ha...

------------------

10 mins later i called him, the phone rang for a while... then suddenly "disengaged" tone.
Hmmm... he's busy??

Shifu advised to call him after half an hour. Maybe he was talking to someone else or driving.

Solemnization #2 - Solemnizer / Justice of Peace (JP)

Been trawling the various forums recommended by dear friends (flowerpod, cozycoz, singaporebrides) for recommendations on solemnizer. Got do work ya! hehe ;p

So last night 'Mr Nice Guy' and I have shortlisted some solemnizers, will be emailing them later! Nervous! Read from some forums that some may appear to be stern on phone or email, maybe because they are all important busy people. Hmm... Pray all will go well.


This is our list... Tadah!
Managed to find pics too, attached the pics here for future brides who may be interested! :)

Our requirements are:

1) Being able to speak GOOD English and Mandarin
- is important so that all our BELOVED guests will be able to follow the ceremony. :)
('Mr Nice Guy' cheekily asked me "Does any of them speak hokkien too?" haha... that will be even harder to find - speak GOOD English, Mandarin, Hokkien. We are so demanding! hee.. )

2) Looks friendly
- coz wondering whether we will be nervous then, so maybe a friendly-looking JP can calm us down? Hee...
