so, we’ve been having lots of dholki sessions for the past few weeks.. trying to get the brats to learn a few songs for the engagement party..
my mum and two aunts are so cute.. they get so hyped up with all the clapping and spoon playing.. none of them can sing.. well they know a few songs like “latte di chaddar” and “chitta kukkar” and stuff… but otherwise nothing..
I think they all feel quite sad about their own weddings.. how nothing ever happened. No singing.. no dancing. Everything was so conservative.. and they were just expected to sit there and do nothing…
with me though.. they are soo determined to do everything they wanted.. they want me to sing (even dance) at the engagement (i doubt id be dancing).. its almost like they are living their pre-wedding days through me.. its so cute.. I guess they’re trying to change the way things were or are.. they want girls to enjoy themselves.. afterall its the girls special day.. why should she sit there like a mute… huh?
A girl that lives around my area is having a bachelorette party. In addition to the dholki and bridal shower. Yep, a bachelorette party. No aunties. No uncles. Just the bride, and other naughty girls. Well, maybe a male stripper.
That’s so awesome I only wish my wedding will be full of as much hungama… i want all teh shor, the dancing, the singing, and I don twant to be a spectator, i want a say in every decision o nwhat i’m gonna wear, and I wanna dance at my shaadi
yeah, my mister thinks its halarious cus im so involved with the whole thing. Ive got this whole folder organised with songs.. and im making copies for everyone and we have seating arrangements too (cus the brats dont do too well when they sit next to each other)
i cant dance so i doubt that’ll be happening.. but im gonna be singing on the day
Sara, hehe.. my aunts and the brats are actually really involved. Its the first wedding in our family so everyones mega excited about getting it right and perfect
dayom… nice stuff… weddings in my family are a total bore…! too strict. mums side is cool they mingle, have fun, shor sharaba, hulla gulla.. dad’s side, in our village, u just go, sit on a manji, have some food, hug the groom, congratulate him and ur done! ive been to a couple of weddings at the villlage, and i didnt get to see the bride… sighhhz, kismat the groom just goes to the girls side once and thats it i think, i,m not sure though. I think punjabi weddings are more fun and colorful and full of festivities. :k:
