Phew! Did I even think of it? Never! Till it thumped so hard on my head that it hurt like hell and I thought I'm transforming into a unicorn! My 21 year old daughter decides to get married! Phew again....!!
A single mom....I was just basking in my glory of having raised my daughter; quite successfully I thought. During times of 'no jobs nowhere', she gets placed in an MNC! Phew....what luck I say, rolling my eyeballs as high as they would reach! Everyday day, back from work we'd talk about people and what we did at work and I was so pleased with myself.....my whole system packed with 'smiley'atoms!
Three months and she declares that she is going to wed! Phew! I smile thinking she's just joking...she still is my innocent baby...but no...she says she is going to marry...and the guy is abroad! Aw! Ya? I look at her and think of my bank statements, my credit card bills, my personal loans, my 14% cut in salary and then I think ...oh well....it just takes a signature in a thick ugly dog earred book to get married...why the heck should I think of my kitty? I hear a distant voice..'and mom, I want a traditional marriage'! Phew! I choke! 'Just keep it simple' my baby's voice adds, tutoring me on 'what's simple'.
I'm still trying to keep things simple..the marriage is going to be next month.....only simple souls invited....and those who are..no boxed gifts please...only envelopes! Do come!
