Re: Rukhsati Stories!
^ I luv it too! But I want to hear more stories girls!!!
Farrah - omg … your story takes the cake so far!!! Reading it instantly put me in a good mood (which is definitely what I needed today).
Reading these stories reminds me of my Daadi Jaan (may she RIP)… I remember her crying at the THOUGHT of my rukhsati… when I was like a little kid tho. lol. She had no daughters of her own so these feelings were something brand new for her she would tell me. I would nod along but not understand (not many 9 year olds growing up in America would i think). But I still remember to this day… tears would come into her eyes and she would hug me hard whenever she heard a sad rukhasati song played … or the topic of shaadi (anyone’s) was brought up. At the same time… she would always tell my mom that she was appalled by the number of dulhan’s she has seen who did not cry at their rukhsati’s. “They don’t want to ruin their makeup!!!” (the only reason she could comprehend as to why a dulhan would not cry lol). She would say and shake her head. “video kharaab hi hojandi hai ke dulhan nah royae!!!”.
A few years ago… when this topic came up again (as it often did with my daadi…discussing rukhasati’s was a FAVORITE of hers) … I told her not to worry … Ill be crying on mine since I’m way too much of an emotional bandi … i told her I get teary eyed when I watch random strangers shaadi videos on youtube 
Mera koi haal naheen I know… She luved the response. She passed 2 years ago .. bless her.
Another reason why I think I’ll probably be emotional on my rukhsati… 10 to 1 I will be thinking of my daadi on that occasion for sure.
