If you been seeing my tumblr, you'd know how instantly i want to get married right now!
i really do.i think getting married young is simply awesome, old traditions should be here to stay,it's so cute!
I don't really like the idea of marrying old cause then you'll have less time to spend with your beloved and also it'll mean you'll be wondering around for a much longer time which may not be so good.
there's more reasons to be but hack it cause me fantasizing over getting married is waaay much more important to me,haha!
I WANNA GET MARRIED.I want a sweet simple wedding. i don't need a huge grand one. I want it to be with all the customs and traditions.Yes, i think i need to uphold the indian spirit and without those 'ceremonies' that they have the wedding is going to be dull. and i'm a desi girl afterall (:
So here's how my my wedding will be :
I don't quite know the proper names given to all the rituals so i'm just going to briefly say what happens.
1st night:
"heldi rasam" will take place. cuzzies will hold a scraf over my head while the elder's sissy and aunt's will apply tumeric on my face,hands,legs. it's a all girls event.
2nd night:
it'll "mehandi". will probably get someone to come over to apply mehandi on my hands and legs. and the rest of the family and relatives will put it for each other. this would also be the "radjaga" which means we 'party' all night. relatives will stay over and i don't quite know what they do cause i normally apply henna and then go to bed,haha! i'll find out :D last minute wedding preps also happen here.
3rd day:
Early rise and shine,bath and get ready.woohoo. today's the big day. get dressed and wait patiently for the groom + his people to come over. say "i do, i do, i do" and sign the marriage cert,hehe! then le groom will come over to lift the veil and we'll salam before exchanging rings. lots of photo than off to the "stage". sit,photo,small chats with people who come by.
Eat,cake cutting ceremony, maybe some performances if my family members initiate.
Then before dawn it'll be 'bidaii' time = time to say goodbye. the girl officially leaves her home to her husbands'. yaaaa,shed tears say your goodbyes,sit in the car and start to feel all excited.
Nupital night:
I can't say what happens cause it differs from couples to couples and yaa.hahaha. but oh ya one common thing is that the girl gets a gift from her hubby,yay.
4th morning:
My side of the family, usually females will come over my hubby's place with breakfast for us. they'll assist me in getting ready than we'll eat together. they get to stay as long as they please (:
5th day:
Depending on hubby's side,the wedding reception may either be in the afternoon or evening/night. so another day of smiling,meeting people and photo taking.
That usually marks the end of the wedding. but i get to go home after the wedding reception for as long as i want and then the newly weds are invited over to their relatives place sometime after the wedding for dinner and stuff...
Oh ya before the first official day of the wedding, close relatives will come over very often to help out with the decor and wedding prep.you know we make our own 'boxes' in which we put the things to be given to le hubby. and also to pack clothes for me which'll be given from my family to me.
So excitedly anticipating a family wedding right now.
I want to marry earlier than them all but it's quite mean cause the community i belong to just sucks.they say a thousand things over small issues and i don't like to hear them.
I happen to be the fifth in 'waiting to be married' queue ):
But well what's fated will happen and i hope i'm fated to marry sooooooooooon! (:
I believe le family is expecting me to marry young too and i've this instinct that tells me they're gonna wait for me to find myself a suitor and tell them i wanna marry before they take any step ahead. i will and i want to do that too,i just need to put my shit together and gather enough courage to speak words of my heart.
till i put my shit together, i'll continue to fantasise about getting married,haha.
