Conspiracy between Love That Binds & ROM?
-
Unless Love That Binds has JPs who work for the company. If they're a seperate entity from ROM, then they will naturally have their own timetable of available timeslots .
But if I had to do it outside of ROM, I wouldn't choose Love That Binds anyway. -
This is one of the 10 moves, called Ye Li Cang Hua means hide a flower in the leaf...often used one lah....get used to it.Originally posted by choco B:Well then it's bull.
Just another way to generate revenue
At the price he's paying just for the "venue", he'd better hear the birds sing and bells ring when they are pronounced man and wife

Well, the principle behind it is not right. It's good to bring issues like this up, so that public awareness is raised and then, only then, can we start to hope that the awareness might fire someone up to try to push for change.Originally posted by chunyong:This is one of the 10 moves, called Ye Li Cang Hua means hide a flower in the leaf...often used one lah....get used to it.
Sadly, here, it's hard to get one united voice against things that aren't done right because most Singaporeans are either apathetic (bo-chup) or jaded (bo-hew).

those who know the moves won't interfere cos its an unwritten but accepted rule. -
My goodness....fancy quoting sword-fighting mambo-jumbo as justification for his own apathy.

what would U choose?Originally posted by choco B:But if I had to do it outside of ROM, I wouldn't choose Love That Binds anyway. -
In that case, Love That Binds is likely to have their own schedule, and is not linked to ROM's schedule. Thus not surprising that your friend can get a slot at Love That Binds and not ROM.Originally posted by shinta:what i heard is... if u book via the agency, u use the agency's venue n solemnizer...

I'd choose some place more significant to us. I mean if you've decided not to solemnise at ROM, why bother to go back to that venue, or spend money at that venue?
If we had our flat back then, I think solemnising at home is very meaningful. The memories created in your very own home would be priceless.
Other places that can be fun are gardens, poolside, riverside gazebo, etc. Of course this means more work and planning involved for the event.Originally posted by Xcert:what would U choose? -

when to the link of Love that binds..Originally posted by shinta:a fren told me he couldn get a slot when he logged in at 12 midnight sharp 3 mths before his desired date to sign the stupid paper.
The ROM people said slots are taken up very quickly. but at 12 midnight? all slots?
But when he approached the agency Love That Binds, and they got him the date n time.
@ an extra $160. $26 still has to be made to ROM tho.. So in total he paid $186.
looking at the albums, wow..
looking at those happily smiling faces of many couples make me feel happy
for them too .. -
solemnising at the new home is nice...but I dont have the luxury of doing it because our flat is under construction now...so I guess I'll take the easy way and fight it out on the net for the desired date in ROM...Originally posted by choco B:I'd choose some place more significant to us.

Solemnistion at ROM is definitely more convenient.
Looking beyond the frills... What is most important is the significance and meaning of the event
Congratulations to you and your partner!

Haha seems normal to me. I dunno why it's so hot. Maybe it's some popular date according to the chinese calendar.Originally posted by shinta:erm.. guess it should be ok for me to tell bah...

I'd rather get married in Las Vegas than in Singapore. I went to the ROM website and then to Love that Binds too, and it is as true as every word of Shinta's.
If getting married in Las Vegas is frivolous and insincere, well, getting married in Singapore is sterile and constipated.
But people who are cash strapped like me have no fu(king choice. -
if u dunno at all wat is the real meaning den dun ge kiang....smlj sword fighting.....ye li cang hua very the infamous and common move pulled off by the very people u trust...they may have another nicer name for it themself but theory is the same.Originally posted by Wanda:My goodness....fancy quoting sword-fighting mambo-jumbo as justification for his own apathy.
ignorance is bliss, dats true most of the time. -

hide flower beneath leaves? -
I don't see any reason for ROM to have no empty slot at 12 midnight, and I really don't see why the Govt does not want more people to get married on special dates.
Is the Government discouraging marriages? -
Must be... its more profitable selling flats to singles at 35 n above.... ? cos they got no grants nth...Originally posted by Nelstar:I don't see any reason for ROM to have no empty slot at 12 midnight, and I really don't see why the Govt does not want more people to get married on special dates.
