Arranged marriages
| STEP 1: Who should bring proposals? Proposals should be brought by someone reasonably close to your family; and when I mean reasonably, I DON’T mean your Aunty’s Second Cousin Twice Removed (and once put back), who is married to the boy/girl’s great grandmother’s cousin.  STEP 2: Get to know the Terminology From now on, you are no longer an individual with an identity or name. You and your immediate family (collectively) are now know as “THE OTHER PARTY”. And when you refer to the proposal, you have to call them “THE PARTY” too. It can get quite confusing because you don’t know exactly whom you are referring to…but this is normal. Just remember, when you decide to marry someone, you marry into a whole new family….good luck! STEP 3: Identifying your future Partner’s name This could be a challenging task, and often, the name of the proposal is the last item that is discovered on the list. More often than not, it is usually, “Did you know he got first class!!!! First Class I tell you!” (In what no one cares.) Or at other times, “He is working for KPMG and also Coopers….(night job)….oh, I don’t really know the name,….he has five initials though!”. Word of advice, try to find out the name (or names) of the proposal as soon as possible…you could be using that name for the rest of your life. For Guys, take the first name (or middle name) of the girl, and say it about 1000 times; shout it, scream it, say it in your sleep….get familiar with the name by saying it over and over again, because you may have to for everything you do for the rest of your life….So GET USED TO IT! Also, try to send a photograph of only the person in consideration. Sending family photos taken in previous weddings can be highly misleading….”it is the beautiful girl in a red sari with straight black hair”. Yes, that makes it so much easier to identify the person from a group photograph. One photograph is quite adequate….make sure it is recent and not one taken when the girl/boy was twelve. Too many photos can make you look too eager and you may as well send all 20 Albums of the family photographs.
Someone once said, if something belongs to you or is meant to belong to you, it will always come back to you. If it doesn’t come back, it didn’t belong to you in the first place or you weren’t meant to have it. |
