Confession Part 3

I have another confession, making this first confession of the year

As of 10am, January 19th 2005, I AM LEGALLY MARRIED !

Some chronicles on the auspicious day
6.45am – woke up, still lazing around
7.00am – removed myself from the bed, took bath
7.15am – get dressed
7.30am – have some Nescafe with my-then GF
7.50am – went to fetch our first Saksi, my then-GF's brother
8.00am – left Penang for Sg Petani, where the registration of marriage would take place
8.40am – reached Sg Petani, fetched our second Saksi – my sister
9.05am – reached the Registration Dept office, submitted the appointment form, and wait…..
took photos while waiting around, watched cartoon over the dept's TV to kill time
9.15am – the Registration officer called to verify the information given
wait somemore…
9.30am – finally, we were asked to go into the ceremony room
and waiting somemore……took some photos while waiting for the Head Registrar in the ceremony room
9.45am – Head Registrar steps in, reviewed our information, and briefed us on this marriage thingy, which goes something like this :
“Kahwin ni, buleh sekali saja noh… tak buleh 2-3 kali…. tak buleh kahwin dengan dia ni kat negeri nih, pas tu pi kahwin dengan minah mana pulak kat negeri lain… kami buleh tahu, tahu tak?? Pas tu, lepaih kahwin ni… kalau ada apa-apa nak batalkan perkahwinan, kena pi mahkamah…”

Then, both of us (me and wifey) took the marriage oath, signed the marriage papers, with both our Saksi looking on and they signed as well. And as of 10am yesterday, we were sworn in as husband and wife, legally.

My feeling now after being a legally-correct husband? Well…. it's not much different than not being one, just probably for now have to get use of referring my wifey as “My wife” instead of “My GF”
