just reading OTHER people's posts had me teary eyed so I can say without a doubt I will be a big giant mess! I have already tried to think of funny jokes I can tell myself but I know they won't be funny at that time... I will definitely need to carry all makeup essentials with me and stop over in the middle of nowhere for touch ups....
Hello, im new here. I hv fallen in love wid this forum. ...Wanted to share my experience
I got married in march, but my husband came from USA so at tht time my rukhsati was temporary...
I remember my mother's sad face on my rukhsati day....even now i ask her it didnt seem to be ur daughter's wedding day u looked so down and sad. she cried first at my nikah n i only tried to be little sad...then ppl cud see me breathing fast but tht was bcz i was conscious of so many ppl looking at me n noticing my each move... but most of them thought its bcz of her rukhsati.
Then my mother creid loudly at my rukhsati but i dindt cry (i didnt see her crying at all it was after i left)...bcz i knew its only temporary...after 2 months i came to KSA wid may parents.
When they made me sit in the car i asked my father n brother not to be worried im perfectly alright n my MIL was surprised to see this tht a bride is saying such thing to her parents instead of crying...
I was always the one claiming there is no in hell I would shed a tear but even though I’m not married yet, just the mere thought of the rukhsati, gets me all emotional.. I almost have an uneasy feeling.
The good thing though, is that nowadays people don’t play horribly sad songs during rukhsati so you don’t feel as bad..! I’ll be sure to have them play an upbeat song so everyone gets distracted! lol..
^ before i got married i thot it was silly to cry and that weddings were a joyous occasion...and then i discovered the complexities of human emotion :D
When I was a little girl and went to weddings, I'd see "older" people bawling! And I'd think, Sheesh! How embarrassing! These people aren't even concerned others are staring at them!
Hahaha.... Now when I go to weddings, I understand why the tears roll :)
And I suppose I'll have a first hand experience soon too :)
Lol yeahhh i was a major loser back then Makeup was smeared, I went very simple anyway… I didnt save any pics anyway it was just a nikkah nothing special. My husband was offended more than anything… it makes me laugh now remembering all that
