Consent to Solemnise Wedding!
One step forward, one step back.
We were asked by Prof Brian Lee to complete a copy of the 'Consent to Solemnise Wedding' form and send it off to him to sign, which he sends back to us to file at the Registry of Marriage (ROM). We thought we'll be smart, take a shortcut, and use their 'search' tool' but that came up with too many links (3 pages). So, we googled and found this form, proudly filled it in and sent it off. Now, as I start to blog, and about to moan about how badly designed the ROM site is, I find "online transactions" in bold staring back at me on the homepage, which has, of course, a link to the correct consent form! brilliant! Now we can look like fools to the JP, who is probably wondering if we're sufficiently intelligent to be getting married, and to those who read this blog...
Well, my excuse is, the site is badly designed! Why create a 'How to File a Notice of Marriage' page if you're not going to include, in the description of the process, the need to fill in this form and provide a link for it? Why make something so simple, more complicated? No wonder people aren't getting married! (ok, there's probably no correlation there, but i am moaning)
So, for those Singaporeans who happen to be reading this and are thinking of getting a JP for a solemnisation outside of ROM, click here for the right 'consent form'.
