Arranged Marriages

Apart from proposing various hairstyles for Ragz this morning just as any other morning, we somehow got to the story of Ragz' arranged marriage. He has 3 women waiting for his "I do". But it's not all harem fun, is it Ragz? This is how it is supposed to happen.

Poor Ragz arrives in a house full of her family, moms, dads, aunties and uncles, grandmas and grandpas, sisters, brothers and all the various cousins. He is seated across from his bride-to-be in hopes that something may spark in her eyes and fly across a table full of baked goods into his eyes.

Talk about pressure, when you've got 100 pairs of eyes staring in your mouth, watching your every move, breathing your every breath. This is the moment, now is the time, you either like her or you don't and there's no turning back, you have to start a conversation and make your mind up.

Ragz: Umm.. Good day to you.
Bride-to-be: Hi
Everyone in the room holding their breath.

Ragz: How are you?
Bride-to-be: Very well, thank you!
Everyone in the room: Awwwww…

Ragz: The weather is nice today, you can cook an egg or two on the bonnet of the car.
Bride-to-be: As long as it's not overcooked.
Everyone in the room claps their hands in excitement.

Ragz: Will you marry me?
Bride-to-be: Oi…
As everyone in the room jumps up and pushes bride-to-be aside to hug and kiss and otherwise smother Ragz with their food offerings.

I can barely imagine the pressure he must go through to pick one of those 3, as he needs to go through this three times and take the girl out on a date with her whole family in tow. Maybe this could be another version of My Big Fat Indian Wedding movie.



But I'm sure after his adventures in NZ, especially the rafting trip (see UNTOUCHED photo: What nice legs you have) where he showed his exceptional skills of rafting on his head while masterfully waving hello with his feet, he will do just fine.


Too bad she won't get to wear a white dress, says Ragz, as she has to wear as much glitter as possible.. He said he remembers the time when he wore a tight black dress and he loved it and is sorry his bride-to-be is to miss out on this happy feeling.

This is where you nod understandingly…
