My Princess Diary

was watching this doc show
arranged marriage in India
can faint lor
so modern liao, still have arranged marriage
sigh

then this bride to be very steady lor
she said she let her parents choose the groom for her coz her parents are very experienced and she is sure tt her parents will choose a good husband for her. and if she choose the husband herself, she might not choose the correct one........omg!! what kind of thinking is this?? who can really guarantee a secured and everlasting marriage?? like someone who told me before its only on the day tt both of ur legs lay straight straight in the coffin, and if ur hubby is still with u, then u can safely said tt "THIS IS MY MAN"

anyway, then i realised tt this bride to be, lucky lor. she came from a rich family. tts why she can CHOOSE lor. she said tt she was engaged to this guy when they were young. they have NEVER met each other before, only knew tt she will one day marry this guy.........wonder why she not curious to know how her husband to be look like huh?? so funny hor...... short, tall, thin, fat, full of hair or bald, missing tooth, etc....nobody is curious. cannot be lor *scratch head*

anyway, the narrator mentioned tt this family came from a high class level of families (3rd class), so when the parents chose the groom to be, this groom to be is also from the high class level (3rd class and above) to match the status. so u can imgaine, if u r from a poor family, tts it lor, u will always be in the low class level.......so poor thing hor.......like tt country how to prosperous!! *faint*

i almost want to die when i heard what the bride to be dad was saying. he said the built of the groom must match the girl. if its matches, then they are a good match. he said tt his daughter is skinny so the guy cannot be plump. if he is plump then he will not be shortlisted??!!!?? so u see, do u still think tt ur parents are experienced?? MY FOOT lor!!! pui pui pui.......

then the most suk kee thingy which i heard is tt, the eldest uncle is the one to FOOT all the bills and expenses, drowry of the wedding!!!!!!!! can u believe it!!! omg!!! coz its traditional and custom tt the eldest bro of the family will have to take care of the siblings below him. tts why when the children of his brothers get married, he, as the uncle will have to foot the bills and pay for everything!!!!! omg!!!!.....think i will go broke lor.......no wonder u can see the parents of the bride so happy. i will also be happy lor. no joke ok.......

why dun they just abolished such silly traditions??? why must have arranged marriage?? why cannot have "free love"?? hm........

i remembered i watched a show once, the bride to be dun want to marry the groom whom her parents has chosen, DISFIGURIED herself!!!!!! omg!! can u believe it!!! they do such thing just to avoid getting marry to someone they dun like!!! and got one she got very angry tt her groom to be kept aksing for more drowry but what to do?? her parents have to borrow money from friends and relatives to make sure tt their son in law gets what he wanted so tt they will treat their daughter better. who knows after the wedding, the groom family ill treated the daugher in law and when the daughter in law asked them why? coz she has given everything which the family has requested for. the family told her tt ITS NOT ENOUGH!!! and then divorced her and send her home!!! can u imagine!!!

and one very outrageous thingy is tt this woman refused to marry to this guy. and this guy got so angry tt he threw acid onto the girl's face..... hear already so angry rite? where got such thingy one? he must be thinking if i cannot have u, nobody can!! omg!!! *slap him can*

then this girl(very educated) refused to marry this guy whom her parents has arranged for her. so what did she do? she ran away from home lor. and this made her family so angry and mad with her tt they disowned her!!! coz to them, its a disgraced!!!! pls lor. what disgraced?? freedom of speech lor......dun want means dun want. what disgraced!! sigh.......cmi *speechless*

better think twice abt arranged marriage......is your parents really very experienced to choose a good husband for u??? dun come and tell me long long time ago, our great grandparents, grandparents or even our parents also got together thru arranged marriage lor. this i know. but that doesn't mean tt they are happily ever after lor. just tt divorce is TABOO in those days. just compare it to today's society, D is a very IN thingy lor. so dun play play........ =p
