"I want nobody nobody but you"

Right in front door of the Penang Chinese Hall.

Where is the rest of them? Are they here yet?

Inside the elevator asking "Do you bring the wedding ring?"

Feeling nervous as haven't memorize the oath's script.

While waiting for our turn to be called into the room. Our number is 6. Suppose we were the 6th pair of the R.O.M for today.

"Have you memorize the script?"

"No need memorize lar, just say "I Do" as in the movie"

"Feeling too nervous, I think I stomach ache now!"

"Remember, small one is mine, big one is yours, later don't wear wrong ring"

Make sure the wedding band is inside the box.

Showing off the wedding band and the flower.

The time when some friends walking in. 

10:15AM : No.6 is called and we walked into the room. Then we were given the Marriage Certificate and asked us to verify our names and identity.

Try to be serious as this is serious matter.

The lady said to us "Why so serious, relax la you both, I'm not gonna eat u.."

Backstage setting where we are allowed to take pictures here.

Gee Keinn is the one who hold my camera. Perfect shot and focus on both of us.

"Before we begin, let me brief you about today procedures.."

"Marriage is a serious matter and you have to make sure you commit to each other from now on..."

We raised our hand and wanted to say the oath, but the lady stopped us
Lady : "Wait, wait, not so hurry..You still haven't ask your gf whether she's willing to marry you or not"
Husband : "Sorry too nervous and I've assume that she's my wife already"

Lady : "So look into her eyes and ask your golden question LOUD and CLEAR so that everybody can hear"
Husband : "PC Yong, are you willing to be my wife?"
Of course the answer is...
Wife : "Yes, I do"

Now taking oath part.
Lady : "Read out LOUD and CLEAR and both have to be synchronized, understood?"

Lady : "Come on, read it slowly and don't be nervous"

Next, proceed with the signature part.

"Each one of you please sign three copies of the marriage certificate"

"Congratulations, hereby I pronounced you Husband and Wife"

"This is your Chinese Marriage Cert"

"Please exchange your rings now"

Wife : "Why my ring so big one? You sure you take the correct ring?"
Husband : "Eh, sorry, sorry, that's wrong ring, supposed to be mine.."

Lady : "Wear it slowly so that people can take picture of you both"

Now you may kiss your bride. Muaks muakss.

From Phei Wen's iPhone capture moment of taking oath. Luckily there is English version.

After signing the paper we are officially Husband and Wife.

"Hmmm..this ring should be the right one"

Try to tell Wife not to be nervous, but Husband himself is the one who is more nervous.

Try to act serious for a moment.

"You may kiss your bride"
