I'm pretty sure Louisiana should be green as well.

I say we all take a break from cousin-marriages... just for one generation. This time around, nobody marries their cousins.

But when you have kids, make them marry your siblings' kids. My future kids are already betrothed to my brother's future kids.

Yepp, I'm betrothing my kids the moment theyre born. No shady 'rishta process' or 'looking for a spouse' thing for them. Its from my leash to their spouses.

OR, I'd just let them believe they're already betrothed to someone but insist I cannot tell them to whom so soon. And then get them married off to whomever I find fit and tell them "That was taqdeer, God made you for each other, see? I told you!"

OR keep them well locked up in their rooms and let them out the morning of the nikkah!

No. Even one is pushing it.

*Loser

And I can't do that yet.

See, if my brother changes his mind at the last minute and doesn't give me his daughter for marriage to my son, then I'm not going to give him my daughter either. And I'll give my daughter to my sister's son and I'll give my son to my younger brother.

And my sister and younger brother will boycott my big brother too (won't give or get kids to/from him) and then we won't invite him to the double-wedding and then we'll stop talking to him for years and years and years... until he's on his deathbed.

Then we can decide about the grandkids. 'Cause then in the spirit of reconciliation, he'll want to give me all his grandkids, see?
Deathbeds are the optimal place to make major decisions concerning the lives of your offspring.

Sorry, we only marry within the family.

Dude, there's nothing wrong with marrying cousins.

And what kind of disrespectful little toe-rag would blame his grandma for his illness?
