Hilarious / scary moments during honeymoon trip!

I shall tell one unbelievable episode of a divorce, even before the couple had the religious wedding! Strange, right?

But, truth is stranger than fiction sometimes! This is how it happened:

A tambram girl from Sing. Chennai, yet to finish studies, wished to marry a tambram guy working in the U S of A hoping

to get the freedom, whatever it means! They registered their wedding, so that the visa formalities would be easy once

she finishes her studies and was ready to move! Before the religious wedding, which was to happen a few months later,

the girl got a good placement in Australia and the trouble started! She wanted the guy to relocate to Australia but he

refused since the job he had was in a very high income bracket! Then what? The registered wedding ended in a divorce!

Dear Kunjs,

In Malaysia it is compulsory for us to register our marriages...some do it at the same time they get married at a temple.

That time I was working in a different state and I needed to get transferred back to Kuala Lumpur where my husband was..so I needed evidence to show the government that I am asking for transfer back to KL cos I was married.

The temple wedding was only planned in 6 months..cos that was the best date available.

So I got registered 1st at the registration department and became legally husband and wife and submitted the certificate for a transfer but even then I did not get KL...I got a town 2 hours away from KL..so I eventually resigned my Government job after the compulsory stint in the Government was over and joined Private Sector in KL.

Dear Srimathi RR Ji,

Let me share with you all a very bizarre outcome of a grand wedding I attended a couple of years ago.

It was a Spanish wedding in Spain - the groom is a highly qualified, bright guy. He works as a pilot for a major airlines. He was marrying a Spanish girl, who he met outside of Spain, from where he worked. He is from the high society of Spain - his grandpa was the personal physician to the King. Myself and my better half were invited from the groom's side and so we went.

It was a grand Catholic wedding, with a notable Spanish chef catering, and the Pope sending personal communique' and the wedding ceremony performed in a historic church, built by the groom's family.

You know what happened?

On their honeymoon in New York, it came out that the bride was older than what she said she was; she has two kids in England, fathered by someone she was still married to!

She was after his money! Needless to say there was a divorce in a court after a pay off and an annulment through the church. I know, there are questions about due diligence, but this girl was
so clever, she was able to hide everything!

We are not alone in this marriage shenanigans as people!

Regards,
KRS
 

Dear K R S Sir,

Is it not a criminal offense to hide a marriage (not divorced yet) and get remarried for money?

Dear Kunjs,

The reason I got registered 1st is to apply for transfer as I wrote earlier but my original reply to your question was a little different...I deleted the last lines cos I thought it was too hanky panky....you see in a way a registered marriage before a temple wedding is a "green card" for hanky panky too but my dad was the "villain" here.

You see since I got registered married in January and the temple wedding was scheduled in June..each time I went out for a date with my lawfully wedded husband my dad would tell me "remember the Thali is not yet on your neck so do not come back late after dinner"

Then I would tell him "I am legally married..so don't worry"

He would then tell my mum "she what your daughter is saying?"

Dear RR ji and Kunjs and PJ sir,

One more funny incident...

This happened during my registration at the registration department.

During a registered marriage the registrar of marriage will ask you "Do you take this person to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

And I was supposed to answer yes but you see the moment the registrar came he asked me and husband to stand..put our hand up like taking an oath and he asked me the question.

So I thought he was giving a brief introduction on how the the registration process will be..therefore I did not answer him when he asked me "Do you take this person to be your lawfully wedded husband"

Then he repeated his question again and I still was wondering why is he asking me again and again..then my husband looked at me and he has a slight panic look in his face and I could see my father and mother looking at each other.

Then I realized that it was not an introduction but the real question!LOL

Then I said "Yes".

I could hear my brother in law whispering to his sister "what took her so long to answer?"
 

Ok! One more funny incident!

I have seen the sAsthirgaL chanting some mathrams for the 'night function' during the weddings of my elder sisters.

Few years later, ALL the homams were performed during day time, to enable the sAsthrigaL to go home. I was NOT

aware of this. So, when Ram and I were shown the decorated room, I innocently asked my mAmi, who is very close

to me, 'ippO vAdhyAr varuvArA mAmi?'. She burst into loud laughter (her style) and said, 'idhukkellAm vAdhyAr

enthukku ammA?'

P.S for Renu: sAsthiraL = vAdhyAr. :D

Dear RR ji,


No problems..I know this terminology...in fact out in Malaysia, Shastrigal is used very often..the word Vadhyar is not used.

In fact I got to know about the usage of Vadhyar only after joining Forum.

Shastrigal is a Tamilization of the Sanskrit root word Shastrin meaning "One who knows the Shastras"
 
Raji Ram said:

Dear Renu,

vAdhyAr = sAsthrigaL

vAththiyAr = M G R :D

LOL! You read my mind dear RR ji.

When I first joined forum I used to think "what is the meaning of vAdhyar cos it sounded a lot like vAththiyAr MGR.

Then I thought >Vada means speak..so I guess it must be something to do with reciting and may be it means one who recites..priest.
 
In one vijayakanth movie, he will do the panchayat as follows:

In a land dispute, one party (powerful mirasdar) will produce a sale deed document witnessed by the vaththiyar, now no more, but well respected in the village. The other group has no documentary proof.

Vijayakanth delivers immediate judgement: The vaththiyar who has signed the document is not a school vaththiyar, but a gusti vaththiyar and cannot read/write. His signature is forged and so the sale is invalid.
 
Dear Srimathi RR Ji,

I just saw this. Yes, it is very definitely a crime. But they did not want to have a court battle, as that would have hit the Spanish news papers (they are a prominent family) - they just paid her off for a quick divorce and a religious annulment.

Regards,
KRS

Dear RR ji,

This funny incident I had written in Forum before.

After my wedding we headed to my husband's house and I was welcomed in with the customary aarti.

Then I sat on the sofa and my husband's aunt(my FIL's sister) brought me a cup of milk with banana slices in it.

I was real thirsty and told her Thank You and I drank everything up and I was tapping the bottom of the metal tumbler to hit the sliced banana that was stuck to the bottom.

Then everyone was "wait wait..dont drink all...you are supposed to share it with your husband"

Too bad...my husband did not get a chance to drink any milk.

I was not aware of such a custom cos in movies they only show sharing of milk when the bride and groom are alone...that too I thought it was just a Filmi thing and does not happen in real life.

So I thought that drink they gave me is for me.

Later my husband did ask me "didn't you know this?"

I said "nope... I have never been married before so no experience in all customs"

He laughed hearing my reply.

Dear Renu,

Tambram mAmis are shrewd! They give the pAl pazham mixture in the hands of bride and groom,

keeping the cup with them! Now a days, the new fashion is to give two kutti kiNNams to the couple

and pour the mixture into the cups for them to drink + eat! :cool:

Q


Trip to Shimla as senior citizens - I

A few decades back, Shimla used to be the honeymoon spot for the newly weds. Though Ram's mom wanted us to go to Shimla soon after the

wedding, we could not make it, since Ram did not have enough leave! We had to satisfy ourselves with a trip to Araku valley in Vizag district.

As senior citizens, we had a chance to visit Shimla recently. The main idea was to attend a wedding at Delhi and we wanted to include a visit

to Shimla too! Very close friends made fun of this late visit to Shimla! We chose Panicker travels package tour for this visit.


We left Delhi at dawn on one fine morning and after visiting Kurukshethra, Rose gardens and Rock gardens, reached Shimla at 11 p.m. Had a

nice hot bath before retiring to bed. The next morning we drove to Kufri, the highest peak in Shimla. There were a lot of horses, all lean ones,

to take people uphill to the highest point.

We never rode on a horse so far in our lives but wanted to do it now! YES!! :decision:

Trip to Shimla as senior citizens - II


After buying the tickets, each of us got a horse to ride. They never moved one step forward unless instructed by the boss! I wanted

to take photos on the way but my fear was so much that I was holding to the iron loop on the horse's saddle with both my hands!

(Now Google search taught me that the loop is known as 'horn' of the saddle). I can't even think of taking out my camera! The horse

on which Ram was sitting was followed by my horse like a soul mate!! Another horse which came galloping towards us from the

opposite side dashed against my left knee; I screamed in fear! After a few seconds, a lad who was to manage our horses gave some

signals and the horses started to move forward. My horse (!!) was fascinated so much by Ram's light blue shoes that it started to rub

its face against it. Ram's horse also stood still and refused to move. After the second set of signals from the lad, the horses went uphill.


The heavy rains on the previous night had made the narrow road muddy and the horses started to skid! I was scared to death but tried

to keep calm! After a few minutes, I asked the lad how much distance we had covered! His reply was, 'abi abi shuru hua!' (just now it has

started!) Holding tightly to the 'horn' with both my hands, I tried to balance on the horse's back, moving left and right! The first horse had

severe gas problem and went on emitting foul smell at steady intervals! Then it did some shi**ing too and I had real problem moving my

left leg away, to avoid getting a smelly smear! :yuck:


To be continued .............
