Ok last night I was talking to a fellow guppie and I happened to tell him about a very hilarious proposal I got.
I was at a friends wedding dinner, and this guy happened to see me. Never met him before in my life, that was the first time I saw him - or rather he saw me. So what he did was he went to his mother right away and sent her to me and my family. A few minutes later I found out that he didnt just ask his mother to ask whether I was single but that he was asking for my uh rishta right there and then.
I found it quite hilarious. I wonder if any of you guys have any funny proposal stories. Dont be shy now, share away. :o
What I edited was a typo. I had written "ti" instead of "to".
:)
You folks can share your "weirdest" proposals. Since we're all either going to have a debate on whats funny whats not, or simply funny proposals are probably on the rare side.
ive a few... and i think they were all quite halarious.. but the funniest, sweetest and the wierdest has by far got to be the one by mister... it was done the movie shoovie way... with the whole "will u..." scene
While I was at Walmart with my family and two cousins, I saw a desi aunty accompanied by her daughter. I saw her pass by me a number of times and I usually say Salaam whenever I see Muslim women. So I said Salaam to her. She started talking and I figured that she recently moved from Pakistan. She got my home phone number and I gave it to her thinking that since she's new she probably wants to get to know families in the area. It turns out she was interested for her son.
Ever since then I've been a little hesitant of saying salaam to desi aunties and whenever I do, I quickly run away leaving them with no chance to start any sort of conversation.
maddy yup. I'll ask the youngsters who they have fallen for, instead of giving them months of advice, I will get the nikkah papers, make them sign --- the end. I will make sure things happen, and the youngsters dont pine away for years - since they dont seem to have any sense. :o
I have a few bizzare ones, but my fave has to be at isna, back in 2002, we were waitin for the elevator in the lobby n this aunty was behind us givin me wierd look, a few mins later, my inlaws, hubby n me got into the elevator with scrunched into the back of the elevator with her exchanging a nervous i see u smile, n she begins askin questions where we r from n then bluntly, how old i was, education,an she has a son who finished his masters in comp sci n is 26 n as people are comin in n goin out, i stood there a bit embarrassed as my MIL told her that I was her bahu n the guy standing next to me was my husband. She turned red- n it was a long quiet awkward ride back to the 18th floor. Itefaq se she was on that floor as welll..
This reminds me, few months ago I was walking back home after getting off the bus. I had my headfones on, so I couldn’t really hear the people around me, nor was I paying any attention.
So I see this aunty run and catch up to me enquiring where I’m from, what I do and all… in the end she goes oh I have a son whose also in Business Admin, but at a diff. college. I politely smiled back and then she offered me to visit her sometime and sort of wanted me to point out the house that I live in. From past experience, I was smart enough to sort of tell her that I live around in the neighbourhood. By then she turned to her street and I quickly walked on to the mall making sure that she does not find out where I live.
I don’t mind young friendly desi aunties, but it’s usually trouble when you see an old desi aunty getting a little too friendly with you.
thats funny 
ducks out of the thread quickly
