Have you ever attended any Punjabi wedding???
Nopes…then you should, we all bunch of friends went to attend our friend sister marriage. It is actually one of my Friends- Girlfriend Sister and he had forced me to come, though I don’t want, but I have to accompany him.
So our train was late, we forget to carry Card for address; his GF was not answering his calls . Anyhow I called m y mother n asked the address and finally we reached.
Scene 1 : Her sister who was getting married has received us and took us in one the room where all ladies were in their Demake up stage ( I mean half nude…n they are coming in their original devil looks by removing their all make up), they have attended some other ceremony at Grooms Place.
Scene 2: Her Mom asked Beta Khana Chalega ( arey aunty duaedga…. Bhaiya subah se bhookey hai ).
My friend replied, no aunty we would like to have only water, khana humne khaa liya…
I agitated n said Aunty we won’t mind, with killer look on my face I just banged his leg. At last we had food n all other Aunties ….I don’t know why they all are staring us with their weird looks. Anyways I ignored n had food n we all went for market to buy gift for bride.
Scene 3: All of them were getting ready and my friend GF, she came n took us in to another room n asked us abt everything n then all aunties abruptly came, n started asking me lot of questions abt my family n studies.. Started introducing their daughters and granddaughters, who are almost of our age. We just formally met n left the room, now they have told their daughters to follow us and be with us.. first I thought it was a general way of facilitating somebody, but later I realized they have some other plans. As they were telling their daughters, how to dress, how to flaunt ur body and how to impress the guys……
Eh delhi de mudey ne.. enhnooo sab kuch karke vikhaoo…
I was only speaking in English with my friend bcz of them and one of the aunty said…
Aee ki ghit pit English bol de paye ho puttar ji…thodi hindi aur punjabi bhi bola karo…saadi Kannu MA in hindi hai … te bhajan bade soney gaandi hai … suna kaanu… oh Shyma ji walla….
I said no no … aunty I know how to speak hindi ..woh hume aadat padi hui hai….
Another Aunty: Beta yeh diamond ke topas pehne hai aapne…..I said yes aunty this is Diamond Studs…
She said: oh hoo.... ek ho hi gal hai beta… humne apni Meenu ke liye Diamond ke Set bavayey hai.. ab shaadi ki umar ho gyi hai naa…
Vekho aapke sath match karti hai na….
I said what??? I just ran.
Scene 4: Barat was abt to come n here my friend and his Girl Friend, they were smooching and I was shouting-ki koi dekh lega yarr… juteey padegeyy… but they….. no comments….. After all ceremony, we all wanna change our clothes, there was nobody at home, suddenly my friend GF came n took my friend to upstairs…her cousin who was looking for her came asked me abt their whereabt I said I simply signaled and she smiled….
Her Brother came to us ( I must tell you, he has his milk dairy and sweet shop.. pura ka pura Pehlwaan type....now u can understand why I was so scared ) , inquired abt our friend, how he is n all....
We just smiled... answered his questions….
At the time of Doli... i mean Bidaai... everybody was crying, here my friend and his GF…..
People were looking for them..As it was a last ceremony n it is important for her to be there.. I think i need not to tell you where she was ...
we all were rushing to catch our train bcz i just wanna ran awy from tht place, train departure time was 3:50 am n our Friend he was missing.. We decided to board without him bcz he was quite happy n wants to come next day....
Finally he came n we all gazed him.. he said: what…Man…. I forgot the way for station....that is why i am late....dont think anything else.... haaan
