Invitation for an arranged marriage

''You know, my daughter Jaya works for xyz company, in abc,US. There is a temple in her city and she visits it ever week without fail" said a mother, ''We got a marriage propasal for her from the boy's parents. He did his MS in the same university as Jaya and works in xyz in the same city where Jaya stays; the boy is interested in music, just like Rama. So, we thought 'why not?, we have to be a little outward'. We have fixed the marriage on ---, please do come with all the members of the family ". In abc, US, Jaya and Ranjan invite all their friends for their wedding in India - the friends who saw them going around for 3 years.

Should you have called it 'Arranged' Marriage - it would have been more fun :P

Just the bottom-up approach to arranged marriage rather than the usual top-down.

Lavanya said...

Hi Arvind,
Sorry, my mind was away. Just realised what you meant :)

Will post you name by the side of the title of the post, what say?

"my mind was away..." - Dont do too many puzzles :P -are you taken in by the sudoku craze yet ?

:-)

np just kidding ;)

btb, my emphasis was on the word 'arranged' as in not the marriage being a 'love' or 'arranged by parents'... but a love marriage being 'arranged' to make it look like 'arranged' in the literal sense :-)
