  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.

  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.
