Re: Haters gonna hate..whyyyyyy
I read a very good article on the topic of bad eye, omen and generally resentful family. It was a worthwhile read which i would recommend to everybody. Here it is: Discretion in Weddings.
During mu nikah, everyone was curious about how i met my spouse and what was our story, but i firmly planted my feet on the ground and gave zero information. Even about the cost of the dress to other details. I am very firm about privacy and personal space and knowing my tight lipped stance, most people gave up even before they ventured to ask me anything.
I learned this lesson even more when i shared the cost of something i purchased with a loved family member, and even though that family member meant zero malice and i am sure of that, suddenly a few of my other relatives knew the exact price and wanted to be shown that item.
So yes, keep your lips closed and smile politely. Sometimes silence is the best thing.
OMG in the article, the first aunt they describe sounds EXACTLY like my aunt when one of our younger cousins got married and her older daughter is still unmarried. Down to a T she behaved that way at the wedding.
