10/7 - Our Registration

We have been struggling to choose a good date for our wedding registration at the National Registration Department and we finally settled for 10/7. Reason being its easy to remember, its the reverse of our actual wedding day, 7/10.
So other than being the day where most "male" species took leave due to time off from watching the World Cup final, of which I participated nonetheless, it was a very special day indeed for Vans and I. I hardly had 2 hours of sleep before taking off to Putrajaya with my dad, and Vans left home from Equine Park with her mom. Yen brought along Brandon and Brian as witness also, although I doubt Brian knew what we were doing :)

We were invited to a "Wedding Room" where the oath took place. I thought it was a simple oath but it turned out the to be the actual "Do you Kenneth Tham take Vanessa Yeo to be your lawfully wedded wife..." vow. So we both did so with a smile. We did brought along our rings, and exchanged it, before I was asked whether I want to kiss the bride. So overall it was almost like a real wedding, minus the crowd and the makan of course.
Due to our "low budget", or unavailability of manpower... haha... we engaged the services of a "professional" photographer that focused on our hands, instead of the whole person while we were signing the marriage certificate. But overall Brandon did a good job snapping the pictures.
The entire ceremony was over in less than 30 minutes, and we snapped a couple of photos before heading home, officially as Mr & Mrs Tham. But till today, Vans still couldn't get the hang of it, and doesn't like to be called Mrs Tham =)
