She tries to be really nice about it, but I can tell, I tell you!

Nothing wrong with that.
I'd do all that... minus the clashing make-up.

none is perfect in every sense, but we all are averagly beautiful as the next person sitting beside us.

chump/chimp it is. i honestly think that everyone looks 10X better without makeup. if you just eat well, drink water, and stay active you *really* don't need makeup. also, being generally happy shows through in your face.

Bechari. Her hopes for a bling-bling-hot-thing- bahu have been dashed, but she keeps hoping.

hi. um. when i move to LI...will I be expected to be a bling-bling-hot-thing-bahu? hmm, alh.. i don't think my mother in law has unrealistic expectations.

your hotness is too much for the aunties to handle... you're the kind of girl who'll still get rishtas after getting married, masha'allah

(send me cakeballs.. thanks)

That kid is a cutiepie.

I don't see what's wrong with being a bling-bling-hot-thing-bahu. If your mother-in-law likes for you to dress up and wear jewellery and make-up, then why not do it? Nothing wrong with looking pretty.

except for when you're naturally inclined to dress like a bum

i'd like to add the following... my father in law once said to me.. "beta, please don't be offended... but can you not wear t-shirts and sweats around the house?"

Spice · #**4993** (**permalink**) 02-09-2008, 07:00 PM

Hmm, I dress with a lot of gold zevar as it is, and Im probably going to step it up more when Im married.

Edit: Im a big sucker for desi gold jewellery, and I just keep adding to the collection everytime a family member goes to Pakistan. Alhamdulilah, I love it

Timbit · #**4994** (**permalink**) 02-09-2008, 07:03 PM

I think it's a perfectly reasonable request. You get so much jewellery at your wedding anyway... why not wear it sometimes? And just make the extra effort to look good? A couple of my married friends say the same thing... that their in-laws want them to wear the clothes and jewellery they got at their weddings. Nobody seems to mind it.

Spice: And I love you.
You should marry my brother; you'd make a hot bahu.

I'm starting to like gold jewellery too.

Spice · #**4995** (**permalink**) 02-09-2008, 07:13 PM

I think its a desi thing for the inlaws to want their bahus to be all decked out and look bang bang. I know for my brothers engagment, we got the sister in law a ton of jewellery, including her set, a bunch of rings, and a set of choorian. And she was expected to wear it all on the engagment. Its a given the entire city will be talking about how much gold (insert family name) gifted their new bahu, so the upper crust usually makes it a point to do the whole smashing jewellery and clothing thing.
Though my brother is not a fan of too much jewellery and was a little weirded when we went the whole 9 yards. I think the total gold we got her was 300 grams, and the poor girl was weighed down by it. Though I'm sure she wont wear it all together after the shadi, because thats a little funky, but the engagment and shadi are big on gold jewellery.

Alhamdulilah.
