When your child gets married

[Bidin~Time]

Do notify your step-siblings. It's not a big deal.

Really, I'm not surprised. There's a 20 yr dynamic at work and i expect rudeness from these people. I think I'll go buy myself something awesome with the money they've saved me.

Eh huh?

 

[Riles]

Ouch.

Sorry honey. I'd say you have the right idea - go splurge. Screw them, wedding are horrific ways to spend a night unless you are part of wedding party.

 

[eyer]

Ouch.

Fyp...

 

[Riles]

Fyp...

Right now, I could not agree more!

I don't actually have hurt feelings over this, Riles. It's just one more thing to shake my head over. Really, i could write a book. I have never had an issue with my step-parent, but to be honest, it's difficult believe she had any hand at all in the raising of her kids.

Okay. Good.

...so go splurge because you deserve it!

Family dealings always make me shudder and long to sit my head in the sand.

I don't know how it is in your part of the world but in our part you gotta invite anyone even remotely related and give them all presents/clothes. And you also have to invite all your neighbours and friends or people will forever be mad at you and taunt members of your family at every given opportunity for the snub.

Well, sometimes folks get embarassed when their 14 year old daughter has to get married. Secret family shame and all that.

Okay, you seem to be somewhat of an expert on Indian marriage customs, perhaps you can help me here.

What is the deal with pouring coconut milk over the bride-to-be at the bachelorette party?

Not an expert, just a local. I don't know about others but in my community it is a beauty thing and a fertility blessing. And it isn't a bachelorette party. It's called different things in different communities.

Families can be quite the test.

On a positive note, I can now pretend i have no idea who these people are

Symbolic of the traditional pre-nuptial gang bang.

This is probably the nicest thing about America. Forget jobs, people should migrate there just to be able to get rid of their relatives properly.

Oh god. Now, I'm going to be thinking of this at the next ceremony I attend.

In all honesty, that was my first thought when I saw the picture.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

You've never thought, that anyone can recall. You sniff assholes and genitals and go from there.

 

[Noor]

If find it strange that a step sibling wouldn't invite another unless it's a very small wedding or elopement, do you work with these people too?

 

[CandiCame]

When people I know get married they don't "invite" you, they just expect you to show up. The last person I knew was my brother and he called me the night before we were getting fitted for tuxes all, "Meet me tomorrow to get fitted for tuxes".

I was like, "Ok. Why?"

"We're getting married! Don't you check facebook?"

"...you're a goddamn idiot."

 

[CandiCame]

Wait, no, I take that back, my cousin got married after that but I didn't go because he called me like 5 seconds before the wedding. He was at the church with his bride to be and told me to get my ass down there and I was like, "Fuck you it's the middle of the night." Because I was asleep and I kind of didn't register it.

I was thinking about the weddings of friends and family and I realized that a lot of people tell me that I'm going to be IN a wedding like 2 days before the wedding. They don't ask if I WANT to be in the wedding, they're just like, "Pay for this tux! Take this chick! Walk!"

"But I-"

"GO! BITCH DON'T YOU HEAR THAT MUSIC!? THAT MEANS MOVE YOUR ASS!"

 

[CandiCame]

The reason I tell you these things is that I wonder, being that closely related, if you need to be invited. For siblings aren't you just expected to come? Wouldn't getting an invitation, like an acquaintance, be more insulting?

You have to go clothes shopping for the whole fam?

Ugh.

A little more generalized fitment over there. Not like you have to have exact sizes. Also, unlike here you are not required to find bridesmaid dresses to be as unflattering as possible.

Yes, I can see the beautiful fabrics to choose from could make it very colorful.
