Why do people want to escape marriage? It maybe due to forced marriage but that isn't the case of this Japanese guy who stop wedding by setting the hotel on blaze.

A reluctant groom set fire to the hotel where he was due to get married to avoid having to go through with the wedding.

I also came across the article: Techie forges HIV+ve report to escape marriage

My "Too Fast Too Furious" Wedding


Marriage Preparation in Singapore with ROM usually take months to prepare. But less than 5 days is what my wife and I did to complete everything needed for a moderately simple wedding.

Standard Singapore wedding includes:


  1. Choosing wedding package: normally couples will visit many bridal shops and view the wedding dress collection and viewing many diff photo shoots from different shops before deciding.(usually take 1 full day for fast decision maker to weeks for slow decision maker)
  2. A full day of wedding shoot: Normally it is scheduled days, weeks or months from the initial selection wedding package.
  3. Research and booking of restaurant for traditional Chinese wedding: Estimating number of guests, selecting restaurants and deciding on the wedding dinner package normally takes 2 man days to weeks.
  4. Time also need to be spent for selecting and buying wedding bands. Normally, few hours.
  5. ROM normally scheduled away from the planning to avoid hectic schedule.
All the above, My wife and I did with a bit of luck and sheer decisiveness. I must thank her for being a fussy-free, cheerful and supportive significant half.

Below is the short narration of my "Too fast too furious ROM"
*Remember my wife only here in SG for slightly more than 5 days*

  • Day 0: During the day, my family and I booked the resturant and got the estimated tables for the traditional Chinese dinner next year. @ night 10 pm>> My wife and family arrived in Singapore.

  • Day 1: We went straight for Citigems @ vivocity, choose a set of wedding bands and purchase from the shop with a budget in mind. Upon shopping and looking for a decent white function dress...we stumbled upon a bridal roadshow @ vivocity in the EVENING. Upon asking, we managed to get the package with lots of perks and also the next day for wedding shoot with the rest of the week tied up for the bridal shop. Lucky!

  • Day 2: Went to ROM to sign confirmation of rom date. Rush to the bridal shop to get makeup for my wife. We had a whole day of photoshoot in the studio, botanic garden and sentosa. My wife and I keep cracking cold jokes, that the photographer almost wanted to throw her camera @ us... LoL

  • Day 3: I slept for most of the day, with my sister helping me to bring my in law around to visit temples with my wife (being dragged to follow despite exhausted) . I met up with my in laws in the evening for dinner and then we went off to KTV. No wedding prep day.

  • Day 4: Photo selection is scheduled on this day plus collection of the wedding bands which is re sized to fit our 4th fingers respectively.

  • Warning: Corny Stuff below!
    Day 5: morning, my wife and I went to makeup plus dressing up for ROM.
    During the rom, my solemnizer is not fluent in mandarin but to respect my in-laws who are from China, i requested the vows to be taken in Mandarin. My wife had a hard time in listening to the instructions. There is a instance she strained to listen and then say "I do" in a frantic manner (She is nervous anyway). The Solemnizer instead of asking "I can't hear u can u please speak louder.." said "Are u willing to say "I DO" or not". My wife is stunned and say "Of Course, I DO" angrily. This cause a laughter in the room.

    Another funny point is that my wife and I supposed to hold hands before the vow taking. She is supposed to place her hands with palm down on my hands and we hold each other hands. Instead she place her palms up and then i try to signal her by doing a palm down action...she flipped her hands..phew...I flipped back to my position and she flipped again GOsh!! then she flipped back...Its like we playing some hands flipping game. Again the room roared in laughter.

    Funny point 3: My wife when asked to sign, she ask: "does it need to be clear?" I say "of course" She wrote her Chinese name very straight and clear...very different from the signature of the ROM confirmation which she had signed on day 2. then when i told her the 2 signatures supposed to be the same, she panic and look very blur. haha, then the solemnizer took out the previous copy say ok...u just need to counter sign again. The room burst into laughter again.

    The whole ROM look so cartoon, with me look stunned by my cute wife all this while.
  • Day 6: early morning rushed my wife and in laws to airport and bid them goodbye!
Indeed time flies, and those memorial days with my wife just sped through. I am anxious for the Chinese traditional wedding and hope it is less "cartoon" and corny that day. haha, but with Mr and Mrs Corn around, what else do u expect?
