So yes - I got married.
After all those posts about my adventures with arranged marriage - at least i dint have to go through one. Maybe many years from now i would someday write about our strange loave story. It wasn't so strange in terms of the guy not being "ready" to marry until he was 32. But it was strange that he gave his best shot into convincing me into :
- considering another guy
- considering moving out of the country
- believing that he was not in the least interested
But like i said - that's for later.
So we had about 2 months to prepare for the wedding. Thankfully, the venues got booked very smoothly.
The two things which took the maximum amount of my time were the wedding dress and the wedding ring - Time well spent.
As we started looking for the wedding rings, my dear fiance declared how he would not prefer to spend too much on the rings. This was obviously supported with various logical/ethical arguments , as is his style. Me being me and more so me being me in love managed to get swayed and in a fit of stupidity went onto to agree with him. Not only did i agree with him, i also followed it up with a speech as to how if he doesn't spend on it, how could he expect me to do that. And then i started looking for a ring.... the task complicated by my idiotic declaration.
I looked and i looked all over Noida, lajpat, south ex - but with no success. Finally i decided to take a trip to the Gold mall. And THERE IT WAS - the most beautiful ring in the world (to my eyes).But it was obviously 1.5 times the amount i had agreed to stick to. I found myself falling irrevocably in love with this ring with the weight of my "declaration of stupidity" as i later called it, weighing on me. In my heart i had decided the second i saw it that it was to be my wedding ring. I wasn't being entirely unreasonable, it wasn't ridiculously expensive, it was just 1.5 times. THAT's when i started to rationalize it in my head - until i believe in it, how would i convince M to pay for it :D
Though generally a reasonable ring - there was no real argument to buying it other than me being in love with it. But then, i'll have to look at it everyday for the next few year atleast ( until he buys me new one), so i better be in love with it. So much in love with it that it makes me think fondly of him even after a marital discord. THAT it was :D Thankfully, it dint take much to convince him. I guess he just saw it on my face when my eyes screamed puppy love as i talked about the ring.
I hope he thinks its money well spent as he often catches me looking at the ring still and smiling in appreciation. *GRIN*
