im getting married this year. what the f-

[johndonneswife]

i love how instagram thinks i’m a single desi woman looking for an arranged marriage (my explore page and an ad i just got)

[cinnamoontopography]

My friend has beef with all of her cousins, and loves to complain about them being “unreasonable” when it comes to finding a rishta and how they should “lower their standards” cause they’re getting older. Her cousins could be bitches for all I know, but Idc I’m putting on the cape for them. This is the same girl who got her heart broke and married some random from Pakistan her mom picked out as a rebound (who she complains about incessantly for being a manchild). Maybe you should have been pickier like your cousins girl lmao....

୨♡୧ ASTRO OBSERVATIONS PT 5

Please take all of these predictions with a grain of salt I'm not a professional astrologer.

Here's my masterlist

& if you have any questions here are the GUIDELINES

NATAL OBSERVATIONS

🫐 Aquarius Mercuries also leave people on read thinking they'll reply later, dude reply now you guys will forget later on.

🫐 Venus square Pluto may get bullied by women and the men they reject.

🫐 Your Moon also shows what you overthink about :-

Eg : Virgo Moons overthink whether their intelligent enough or not.

Libra Moons overthink whether people love them or not.

Capricorn Moons are busy overthinking about who's lying.

Pisces Moons are busy overthinking about fictional characters or things that have not even taken place.

🫐 Mars in Taurus is also quite sensual and these people may have a high libido. Most of them know how to channel their energy.

🫐 Venus in Virgo tends to look good no matter what they wear [at times they may wear clothes that won't necessarily be their style but they will still end up looking good in it].

🫐 Cancer Moons are also good at manifestation.

🫐 Pisces Sun, Pisces Moons are better at hiding things, stuff, their personal life. Basically they lie where required.

🫐 Mars in Capricorn reminds me people who are more active mentally than physically. These people know when to play and when to be serious.

🫐 Cancer Risings I can't just blatantly state you guys get bad partners, it's just you guys often fall for people who have a tough time expressing themselves emotionally. You guys also end up being in karmic relationships many a times.

🫐 Moon square Mars tends to feel emotions very intensely. They should journal their anger on a clean piece of paper and then burn the paper.

VEDIC OBSERVATIONS

🫐 If you have a moon darakaraka, only in this placement you can marry a person with the same sign as yours.

🫐 Mars in the 2nd house may eat alot of meat, it's like they'll love meat and find it hard to be a Vegan or Vegetarian.

🫐 Also Mars in the 2nd house swears or curses a lot doesn't matter what sign. They can end up creating new cuss words too lol.

🫐 Rahu 10th house is a good placement however the natives with this placement struggle to choose a career for themselves.

🫐 Venus in the 9th house also tends to be asexual or sapiosexual.

🫐 Rahu in the 9th house makes you doubt your morals. Whether your a good person  or  not.

🫐 Sun-Mercury conjunction in the 7th house can give a spouse you has solutions to mostly all of your problems. Even if their not too educated they may still have solutions to your problems.

🫐 Sun Nakshatra people have so much perseverance like no matter what they go through they always stand tall facing their problems all by themselves.

🫐 Like 12th house reminds people of spiritual, paranormal, esoteric, escapism but what people forget is this house represents creativity as well.

🫐 12th house lord in the 9th house could mean your creative and would want to pursue a career in something artistic.

🫐 Venus in Pisces in any nakshatra gives you such ethereal dreamy looking face these people never age.

🫐 Sometimes I feel Mars atmakaraka has trouble asking for help.

🫐 Sagittarius Moons and Capricorn moons easily argue with each other then 5 min later their bffs like dude [yeh rishta kya keh lata hai.]

hello!!! so — i must confess something. i have been thinking *very very verrrrry* much about taking mr. ln chaar to a desi wedding (like a cousin's wedding or something) and watching him get bombarded with rishtas when they find out he's british, the aunties and uncles not realising that he's actually *with* reader and not just some baraati/random tinku ke mausi ke bete ka dost.

Big, Fat Indian Wedding ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

masterlist ☾☼

"are you sure i look good?" lando had never worn a kurta before, but since y/n was attending someone's wedding, he had insisted on tagging along.

he turned to look at y/n, who stood beside the mirror, "babe, you look so good, i want to skip the wedding and spend the whole night here,"

lando giggled, turning red just slightly as he turned away from her, "y/n! stop!"

she laughed, throwing the dupatta at him.

lando held the dupatta in front of him, before putting it around his neck, and then looked at y/n for confirmation on whether it looked good or not. she nodded appreciatively.

y/n tucked her hand in lando's elbow, and the two exited the hotel room that the groom and bride had graciously offered them for the night, and walked to the venue.

lando, not being used to wearing a dhoti, fussed constantly about not accidentally stepping on it or getting it dirty. y/n could do nothing but watch her boyfriend take such good care and put in so much efforts to appreciate her culture.

when they stepped in, the two were immediately greeted with some of y/n's relatives at the gate.

"y/n! beta, how are you? we don't see you anymore!" an old man exclaimed.

y/n immediately untucked her hand and joined them together, "namaste, nanaji. i'm good, how have you been? your health?"

seeing the gesture that y/n had done, lando immediately copied, remembering when she had explained to him the basic courtesies of her culture.

"arre, beta, sab theek, sab theek," he continued talking, but lando, not understanding the language, walked ahead, getting lost in the bright flowery venue.

every surface had lights and flowers. there was a square stage in the middle of the area, which had it's own little roof made out of strings of flowers going from one side to the other. there were chairs facing the stage from all four directions. the bride and groom were standing, posing for pictures with a bunch of people, laughing and accepting gifts and envelopes.

lando's attention was focused on the stage, and without realising, he took a seat somewhere in the middle, eyes transfixed on the bride and groom. he watched as groups of people went up the stage, and the bride and the groom took turns explaining the relations, and then everyone turning to the camera for pictures.

he watched as the bride and groom smiled instantly when people arrived, and then softly spoke to each other when they found little moments in between. he watched as the groom wrapped an arm around his bride's waist and smiled so lovingly at her. lando wondered if this is what his marriage to y/n would look like. would she look as gorgeous as the bride? would he look as in love as the groom?

suddenly, a woman sat beside him. it wasn't y/n. definitely not. because this woman was almost double his age, and had a glint in her eye that he wasn't sure he liked.

"namaste, beta. kaha se ho tum?" the woman said, joining her hands in front of her like y/n had done before.

lando immediately copied, but continued to stare at her confusedly. "um, i don't really speak hindi. i'm so sorry,"

the woman's eyes lit up, "ohho! are you from america? where is that accent from?"

"i'm actually british. i'm not from america."

"british yani london?"

"yeah! yeah, london." lando said.

the woman immediately turned, calling out to her friends or relatives, lando didn't know, "arre, jaldi aao! london se munda hai! rishta nikaal lo!"

a group of ladies surrounded him now, and lando began to panic. he looked around for y/n, but failed to see her in the sea of people.

"you're from london, yes?" one of the women said.

"uh, yeah," lando began to stand, "actually, i'm looking for-"

the woman from before pulled at his arm, seating him again, "you were not looking for anyone. shut up and sit."

lando felt like a deer at the centre of a pride of lions. the women all stared at him, smiling and waiting, and he could not figure out just what they wanted from him.

suddenly, a woman shoved her phone in front of his face, her screen brightness so high, it made lando squint. "tell me, boy, do you like her?"

lando looked at the picture of her daughter, he assumed, "um, yeah, she's nice,"

"good, good. she's a doctor. she can move with you to london. doesn't have to work if you don't want her to,"

"what? no! why would she move to london with me? why would she leave her job?"

a different woman shoved her phone in his hand this time, "forget her. you look at her and tell me if you like her,"

"i'm sure all your daughters are really beautiful, but i'm here with-" lando tried to explain.

"tell me, what's your birthdate? kundli nikaal ke dekh lenge jiski jodi acchi banti hai,"

"13th november," lando responded, hoping that if he gave the women what they wanted, they would leave him alone.

"year?"

"1999,"

the women stared at their respective phones for a few minutes, and lando tried to use their distraction to escape. he was unsuccessful, as the previous woman who had tried to stop him before, stopped him again, this time keeping a firm grip on his arm.

"what do you do for a living?" the interrogation began again.

"uh, i'm a driver, a-"

the women all made disapproving sounds in unison, "matlab paisa kam hoga,"

"par, london mein gaadi chalayega toh paisa apne desh se toh zyaada hi hoga na,"

there were murmurs of agreement. lando looked for y/n again.

"how many properties you own?"

lando was confused by the line of questioning, but the firm hand on his arm stopped him from running away like he wanted to.

"one in monaco, and one in somerset, but that's my parents' place," he responded.

"yeh monaco kidhar aata?"

"arre, europe mein hi hoga kahi par. paisa hai iske paas, ladkiyaan khushi khushi reh sakti hai,"

"you have big family?" another question directed towards lando.

"i've got two sisters and a brother." he said.

"sasuraal mein rehna padega shaayad,"

"europe-sheurope mein sasuraal kuchh nahi hota hai. shaadi ke baad, sab alag alag rehne lagte hai,"

the women began discussing again. looking around for the millionth time, lando finally found his girlfriend.

y/n was standing a little far away, staring right at lando and his group of old women. she looked like she was trying not to laugh, as she conversed with another woman. lando sent her a pleading look, almost begging her to come save him.

y/n, seeing lando's look of fear, rolled her eyes, smiling, and began walking towards him. a hand cupped lando's cheeks, and pulled his attention back to the women surrounding him.

"how many kids you want? we want two, at least. we are okay for more also,"

lando blushed. why were strange women asking how many kids he wanted in his future? that was a conversation that he was only ever going to have with y/n, his girlfriend, the woman he was going to marry.

before he could respond, y/n's voice rang from behind him, "namaste, mamiji, chachiji, maasiji,"

the women lit up, talking over each other and greeting y/n. lando felt slightly calm now that his girlfriend was around, but he also knew that she was trouble. lando didn't know what to expect at this point.

"accha, y/n, batao, yeh ladke ko tum jaanti ho? london se hai," one of the women asked.

"haanji, jaanti hu na. mere saath aaya hai," she said.

"tumhare saath matlab?"

"arre, bhai hoga iska,"

"bhai-behen jaise lagte nahi hai, bhai kidhar se ho gaya?"

"duur ka rishtedaar ho sakta hai,"

"dost hoga varna,"

"dost ko kyu lekar aayegi voh,"

the women all spoke at once, arguing with each other. lando didn't know what he could do, and despite wanting to leave, the woman sitting beside him still had a firm grip on his arm.

"actually, humari sagaai hone vali hai. aaj bas puri family se milne aaya hai,"

whatever y/n had said, it had worked wonders, because the women immediately fell silent and stared at y/n. lando was just glad that the attention wasn't on him anymore.

"arranged hai ya love?"

"love marriage hai,"

"kitne saalo se jaante ho ek dusre ko?"

"6 years,"

"tumhare mummy papa ko pata hai?"

"haanji, unko sab pata hai,"

they all fell silent, looking at each other. it made lando think that maybe they were talking telepathically. it worried him. it scared him. more than crashing out on the track somehow.

"tumhare ladke ne bataya nahi. humari sabki ladkiyon ko dekh raha tha," one of them said, glaring at lando.

"itne saare nay log dekh kar darr gaya. aur aapne bolne bhi kaha diya usko?" y/n chuckled like she was making a joke, but no one else laughed. lando was so so confused.

slowly, the women stood up one by one, talking to y/n and bidding him goodbye. lando couldn't do much but just wave at them.

when the women were far far away from lando, he immediately got up and turned to his girlfriend, "who were they? why were they holding me captive? did i do something to offend them? why were they showing me pictures of their daughters?"

y/n laughed, grabbing his hands in hers and pulling him closer over the chair. she pecked his lips repeatedly, waiting for lando to calm down and kiss her properly. she knew people were watching, especially the old women who had just been sitting there, but she had told them that they were going to get married, so a little pda wouldn't matter that much.

his arms around her waist, lando pulled back, "baby, seriously,"

y/n laughed again, "those were relatives from all over. they thought that you were a single man, and they wanted to fix you up with one of their daughters for an arranged marriage,"

"what? why?"

"arranged marriages are very common in india, or southern asia in general. the arranged couple meet, talk a little, their horoscopes and stuff are matched, the parents talk about expectations from the in-laws, the dowry, all of that stuff," y/n explained.

"so, if you don't wanna get an arranged marriage, what do you do?"

"what we're doing. it's a love marriage. i fell in love with a man and i want to marry him, so i introduce him to my family, and the horoscopes, expectations, dowry all happens,"

lando was quiet for a second, his fingers tapping against her waist, his teeth biting his lip as he thought about something. "what if i don't want the dowry? like, i understand the horoscopes thing that its to see how compatible we are, right? but, is the dowry necessary?"

y/n kissed him again, "while it is the usual norm of the groom's family to take some kind of dowry, it's not necessary. it depends on the groom and his family,"

he wrapped his arms around her tighter, "okay, well, this groom and his family have decided to not take a dowry,"

y/n laughed, "i love you,"

lando smiled, "i love you too,"

the two turned to look at the bride and groom on stage. they watched as the groom kneeled on the floor and helped the bride with her shoes.

"is that going to be us one day?" lando softly asked.

"is that what you want? a big, fat indian wedding?" y/n countered.

"i want everything that's a part of you. if a big, fat indian wedding is a part of you, your dreams, i want it,"

"yeah, that's going to be us one day."

lando turned back towards the stage, a happiness spreading in his chest. he couldn't wait for his big, fat indian wedding.

alexalbon Y/N is going to pull out her hair😭

yourusername uhm I'm actually conflicted tbh.

username WHAT IS THE LADOO INCIDENT?

Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is a Hindu festival celebrated with great enthusiasm across India and various other parts of the world. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Diwali typically involves lighting oil lamps or diyas, decorating homes, exchanging gifts, and enjoying festive meals with family and friends. The festival holds cultural, religious, and social significance, promoting the spirit of joy, unity, and hope.

A ladoo (also spelt laddu) is a popular and traditional Indian sweet. It is a round-shaped sweet ball made from various ingredients, including flour, sugar, and ghee (clarified butter). Ladoos are often prepared during festivals, celebrations, and religious occasions in India. They are considered a symbol of good luck and are distributed as a gesture of joy.

Needless to say, it's my favourite time of the year😁

[rooh-afza]

now my dad is thinking about possibly introducing my cousin on my mom’s side to the cousin above although my mom thinks she’d be better with his younger brother bc they’re the same age and more similar in personality and they’re both planning on staying in the same city for the rest of their foreseeable future but that’s not happening unless my aunt and uncle decide to be normal so

being desi is so silly sometimes I feel like a background character in a jane austen novel

[mikudidi]

The way Indian soap operas do not give a flying fuck about continuity is absolutely insane like theoretically, the current year in yeh rishta kya kehlata hai should be at LEAST 2056. That's literally the minimum if you take the assumption everyone gets married at eighteen.

[firstelevens]

I had to go through photos from my cousin's wedding again for Rishta ReasonsTM because I, like Bigfoot, only get photographed about once a year, and while I did begrudgingly find a photo to hand over to the requisite aunties, I also found this, which I believe expresses my function at all family special events: I will crouch down on the floor in sparkly clothes and strategically arrange my limbs to allow for the steadiest possible video recording of your younger brother's speech at your wedding and that! is! a promise!

also this gharara was objectively a banger and I have no more special events to wear it to so I just wanted people to see it again

[rosekasa]

who is getting married at 21 lol

i literally went to my 21 yo friend's wedding last year... my family has been vetting rishta proposals for me since my 20th birthday... LMFAO

[phati-sari]

Hi Phati sari.

I don't know if you have answered about this before or not. But I wanted to know about Arnav's relationships.I am unable to understand why Arnav was dating. I mean he doesn't see himself as husband material, afraid to trust someone, have his way in relationships. Then why was he getting into relationships ? What did he want from them ?

In canon, they didn't show how Arnav-lavanya's relationship started. He yelled at Lavanya infront of her assistant & Lavanya was also afraid of Arnav's reactions. So I was wondering how it started ? And how come Arnav agreed to have a relationship with an employee ?

In rishta Anjali said "but you've never spoken about commitment. Not like this. It's always just been you, the apartment you keep, and the overnight business meetings in Agra". What did she mean by "not like this" ?

"You're a grown man," she paused, "I didn't understand at first, but I think I understand now. If you thought you weren't getting married, why would you". What did she mean here ?

Lastly, why & how his relationship with Khushi is different from his relationship with lavanya or his other ex-girlfriends( Both physically & emotionally) ? And did he ever love lavanya or sheetal or his other ex-girlfriends ?

Thank you so so so much in advance.❤️

Hello!

Arnav and relationships is covered here and here.

What did she mean by "not like this" ?

In Rishtaa, that he'd never talked about being with someone for a long time before.

Thanks for asking!

[desifemininewoman]

Guide to 90's-2000's desi aesthetic

If you want to be more like Aishwarya Rai from Dil ka Rishta or Amrita Rao from Vivah, this guide is for you.

Clothes

1. Go for fitted traditional dresses be it kurta, suit or even long dresses. They should be tailored to your sizes. Choose fabrics like chiffon and georgette.

2. Choose pastel colors or bright colors. Never dull colors.

3. Make it as simple as possible. If you are opting for a kurta set, your duppata should be plain, the kurti can be plain or some simple embroidery or chikankari or some other work can also go. The bottom again should be plain devoid of any work. Make sure you are wearing the same color top to bottom.

Makeup

Simplicity is the key for this aesthetic. Don't overdo anything. Keep your makeup as natural as possible.

Apply foundation and concealer to hide any acne or pigmentation. Nothing else.

Wear nude lipstick and add lipgloss to it.

Same with eyes. Nude eyeshadow or avoid it if you want to. Finish with eyeliner.

Hair

If you have straight hair, this aesthetic works for you. I, personally think, straight hair gives very polished, neat look and this is why the aesthetic works.

Don't worry if you have wavy or curly hair. To achieve that put together look, you can tie up your hair in braids or in a bun or ponytail. If you want to leave it open, what I do is, I frame my hair to my face and then tuck the rest of the hair behind. it works for me cause I have bangs so they stay on the front, rest of the hair behind. Otherwise you could always straighten your hair.

Jwellery

Again, simplicity is the key. Wear a small bindi matching your clothes or you can even wear that shiny one.

Either wear earrings or a necklace set. I mostly prefer earrings but if you want to wear both, make sure they are the small dainty ones.

You can also wear simple set of chudis in both hands matching the color of your clothes.

Mannerism

This is the most important in my eyes. You can look like Aishwarya Rai from Dil ka Rishta but the way you handle the look is the most important.

Ever wondered why Laxman was suddenly interested in Sanju in Mai Hoon Na? It wasn't just her wearing indian that did it neither it was the straightened hair.

She looked put together, more feminine after her makeover. She leaned into her feminine energy.

Be elegant, graceful, expressive. Smile more. Talk softly. Walk properly. Own your outfit with confidence.

Imagine you are Shantipriya yourself from Om Shanti Om, I don't care. Even the lookalike of Shanti had to learn her mannerism. You can do it do.

At the end I would say experiment. I would suggest at first, get your clothes tailored. Make your outfit. See what works and what doesn't. If you are shy about your arms get sleeves. If you are slender and have hourglass figure, go for long bodycon dresses and pair it with duppatta. Research and see what type of necklines, back, straps, etc works for you.

[sosuigeneris]

the diamond studs I’ve been wearing for months on end have started wearing out my ears. The piercing hole seems to get bigger and bigger everyday so I decided to take a break for a while and wear smaller/ lighter studs to make the hole close a little. I went behind my mother’s back and placed a Swarovski order because I really wanted some simple everyday pieces and she’ll kill me if she finds out (yall know by now that Mama Cherry only lets me wear real stuff and Swarovski is like a half blood to her). She’s going to fight with me when she sees them on, but I really wanted something simple for work and casual night outs.

I’ve always wanted to buy those Korean skincare devices (medicube, specifically) but I didn’t have the time to shop in Korea because of my hectic work schedule. I ended up buying some devices at the airport, and I decided to try the Face Factory’s Rink Shot device. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical at first because of the low price point but I was like who cares, let’s try it out. it works so well??? I tried out a couple of nights back with my nighttime skincare and I woke up with glowing skin. Like, glowing. Glowing to a point where I thought to myself, I don’t need to wear make up today. I was really pleasantly surprised by how good it was, and I’ve been very consistent with it since I got it. that got me thinking if this affordable device is so good, medicube’s must be even better. So when I hit my late 20s in the next couple of years, I’m going to buy the latest medicube device + their collagen serums.

Diwali season is crazy and I have decided, in typical cherry-impromptu-fashion, to host a Diwali dinner for 10 of my friends tomorrow night.

my mom and dad rejected a couple of rishtas that came my way whilst I was travelling. My mother, very diplomatically, turned the family down. They’re a pretty major family that we’ve known for 3 generations. I later found the boy’s LinkedIn and I was aghast. Not only does he have no purpose, ambition, sense of identity, but he’s also quite unattractive.

In terms of my beauty routine, I need to get my extensions refilled and shaped and get my last 2 sessions of EMS and exilis. I’m really happy with the results I’ve gotten so far, and I’m trying to work out as consistently as possible to get even better results.

[ji-jii-visha]

Painting 2 -> View 1

[Sahib's POV]

I know I flee from the scene and I know I'm a coward who couldn't muster up courage to meet my own wife. What are you really afraid of, huh? That she won't like me.

I've always loved the idea of cherishing someone who was mine, my family, my kin. Ever since my parents passed away when I was 13, I fantasized about having a person to love, my wife, my kids. One day, at 18, my uncle, my father's cousin, came in with a rishta. And like every other young man my age, I got married to a little girl. At first, the idea of marrying someone that young dismantled my idea of having a wife. I'd ask all of the servants and caretakers around me if I can't marry someone who's older, but they said that it doesn't work that way and decent older girls are probably married already.

But as years passed by, I started getting more soft towards the idea of being married to someone so young. Perhaps we can still understand each other despite our age differences. And just when I learnt from my father-in-law, who came in for a surprised but long awaited visit, that my wife is of age and in a few months, they'll start the process of bringing her to her new home, I got very excited. I decorated the whole house for her. Put my favourite, most treasured linens, paintings and furniture in her room. I wanted her to feel like a queen. But how do I go and talk to her, she feels like an beautiful enigma.

[Your POV]

You're standing infront of the water fountain and wondering what just happened. The birds are all drinking water, flying and talking to thier friends while you're standing alone on the periphery of your room. What just happened? Why did he run away?

You wait for some time before deciding to close the door and get inside since it's very hot outside but you see the head maid walking down the corridor, coming to you.

"Did you meet Sahib, Memsahib?"

"No, I didn't. He was here right? He's back..."

"Yes, he's back. He came back earlier than expected and rushed to see you but....you didn't meet him. How could that be?"

"He was indeed standing at my door, and had knocked twice but before I could face he, he was gone."

"I see. Perhaps he got busy."

Busy? He doesn't have time to meet his wife who's living at his home for six months? Even the worst of husbands would atleast spare a glance. Was he thinking of his mistress, his lover when he knocked on your door?

You're about to let go of your dignity and voice your opinion, wanting to ask the head maid about his secret lover, when in your peripheral vision you see a long figure walking towards you, stoic face, confident eyes and a liesured walk.

"Were you talking about me, ladies?" He asks the head maid, not meeting your eyes, which puts your temper on a notch higher.

"Yes, I wanted to know if you met your bride or if you wanted something. But I'll be going now." The head maid smiles and turns her heels and rolls off, giving you space.

You've now forgotten all about all the etiquettes and manners that your mother taught you about how to talk to your new husband and you look at your husband with fuming eyes, saying "Did you get time from your mistress to meet your new wife?"
