Engagement and Wedding

Don't think it really matters on the age of your parents but more on how traditional they are.

the way i see it, over HERE… ROM is like an engagement.

You still need parent approval even after the ROM, they want to drink yr cup of tea, so they feel that they are respected mah.

If that is what they want I'm fine with it.
Btw I didn't go through the traditional wedding
There is no tea ceremony, nothing because we feel there is no need for it
My parents are ok with it as well as they think that no point spending the extra money if we don't want to

Basically I get to do it anyway I like it except that in the end we had to have a small buffet for the family coz my parents fell from the pressure given by my grandma Laughing

There is no right or wrong. It's about what people feel is important.
Just like a Christian wedding is not official till it's been blessed by the priest, ROM or no ROM.
Same rationale for the tea drinking ceremony viewed by traditional-minded Chinese.

Buy flat.

Xcert SG

having a wedding without ROM is illegal.

Even worse so.. I see people going through ROM thinking they are not getting married, but instead to qualify for getting a flat. Really damn weird mentality.

Damn weird world in Singapore.

At the end of the day, legality is all that matters. If you simply go through traditional tea ceremony and no ROM, you're screwed in many aspects if either party does some hanky panky.

Seriously, I would be so glad if there is eROM. I totally support the ease of people getting married without all these troublesome hassles.

Thank goodness both my parents and my wife parents had no issues with nothing other than a ROM. Or else, we would have a big falling out, cos I am in no way giving in to these tea ceremonies.
