Re: rukhsati
your topic made me miss my younger sister SO bad ....it's just the two of us so we are naturally very close MA..
she started crying on my barat way before the rukhsati and now I have moved to another country ...it's like a constant ache !
families and siblings are truly Allah's great blessing !
Re: rukhsati
Same, no sister. Boo. And I find it funny how you pointed that your brother and SIL were like that and still are super-clingy. That is so cute.
Re: rukhsati
congratz…may ALLAH SWT give her happiness in her new life. Ameen. kinda refreshing and sweet post.
this thread reminded me of this song
Re: rukhsati
Sorry, I missed your post.
Tell them they still have have you for now and they should take you out for dinners and buy you gifts, sari farmaishain puri karwao before you go!
I think theyve chosen to ignore the fact that im going. I know the one immediately younger than me has begun saving up for my wedding gift..i was so surprised about that i wasnt expecting a gift, let alone something that requires saving up! and the youngest brother ( i have just two siblings ) is refusing to accept that Ill be gone long, and has already suggested very firmly that I can continue this living arrangement where im married but living at my parents place and the husband can come visit (i am nikahed)

@Enigmatic ; Same here, It hit me during her Mehndi but it doesn't really hit you until she exits and you realize she won't be around you much anymore. There really is no stronger bond IMO;

@M_was_here ; yep and they keep stressing that marriage is a lot of work and we always wonder what work they're putting in cause every time we see them they're a bunch of goofs.

@zobia ; Ameen. Man, it's exactly how it's shown in the video.

@Demesne ; They probably don't know how to express themselves, they're about to lose a sister and there's no immediate consolation for this. My brother & I were the same way, we would be playing games while the girls would be busy with the preparations but it doesn't mean we're neglecting you. I guess the practical side accepts it as normal outcome but when you see her seated next to her husband, you think oh wow, this is it.
lol at the living arrangement suggestion. We had similar plans; build a massive home and each sibling would have a floor for their family!

Yes I worry that it's not hitting them yet. The reality of it. I don't mind them doing their thing and us going along as before. :) But I am aware of the reality which will hit a few months from now. I think itll strike them possibly on the day of rukhsati that it's really happening. And quite honestly that breaks my heart to think of them sad. We always have been and remain super close.
As for what you said about seated next to husband, my brothers have been so perfecting the art of ignorance that for the first few months after Nikah, when the husband would come visit, they would totally ignore him altogether. Slowly but surely I got them together and now they consider the husband a friend, STILL not entirely sinking in that he's the husband!
:) The youngest even told me strictly that I am to return one month after marriage to prepare him for his exams. And since Ill be here, I can just stay. He told me itll save me my own electricity bill to skim off the parents that way!
Re: rukhsati
I felt the same way after my sister got married. We talked about her stuff lying around the house for months, until she wanted us to send that stuff to her :(. Now we just talk about how we used to get yelled at :p.

haha I have a feeling my room will be kept as a shrine!
