ladies, i need help! from the larka wala's side specifically, what exactly is the process of formally proposing to the girl? who does it? what do you say? and also what does a baat pakki involve- i.e. in terms of formalities, gifts, and rasams (if any)?
thanks a bunch! :)
The parents usually begin by saying, 'ji bachon ki khushi se barh kar kuch nahin.... :)'
larke wale invite the girls side or they invite you..whichever way you are comfortable with....and they express their love and khushi....showering the girl and the guy...with achi achi batein...:) ..like 'bohat khushi ki baat hai...etc etc.....' or you dont have to be too formal....
the guys's mom puts karey on the girl....which I think is the most appropriate piece of jewelery for the baat paki time...lol :)
you can give a nice suit to the larki's mother or if you want even a small gold gift....not too overwhelming...and not too distant.... :)
you can also take mithai...cake...cupcakes...
