just because the sun seems to have come out early this year does not mean that Wedding Season needs to be brought forward to Easter!! Seriously, it feels like summer at my house where my parents decide which weddings they MUST attend. There's now been a wedding every weekend this easter and it hasn't stopped!! The worse thing is my parents try to force me to go when they know how much i hate weddings!! Actually, i take that back...i hate UNCONTROLLED, UNSEGREGATED weddings...which is usually Sylheti!!! What's the point in going to a wedding that exceeds its full capacity and you're squashed into a room like sardines!! To top it off the food is then shit! I dont care if people have billions of poeple at their wedding but plz cater for them!!(i speak from experience...) I dont even mind weddings that aren't segregated just as long as they're not obviously meat-markets!! Why the hell cant people be civilised?!!

Me,being very disillusioned last saturday thought id go to a segregated wedding. My mum convinced me that the girl was practicing,plus family, so i thought id go. Plus, knew there wouldnt be that many people cos it was the Walima. Anyway, dressed up in a saree, heels, put make-up in my bag to wear at the hall (dad wouldav killed me if i wore nikab!) and off iwent to the walima. Should have trusted my first instincts...knew there was no way a sylheti wedding would ever be segregated fully- dont think they know what that word means!!! MashaAllah everyone in that room was wearing 'headscarf' but thet amount of bellies i saw hanging out just made me feel like i was a terrorist in the corner waiting to go off!! People was just staring at me thinking why doesn'tshe take off her jilbaab...erm,didnt they see the gap in the partition so you could see the whole of the men side?!! Or the fact that men were coming in to serve food?!!anyway, the bride was covered so i guess she couldnt fight for a segregated wedding?!!

Just had an argument with my mum about two other weddings!:( she wants me to go to London on Sunday to a weding...the girl's a family friend and she's really nice. But we all know its not about the girl or the groom so what's the point?!! Everyone and anyone from bham is going because the father of the bride was a hot-shot-PM in Sylhet! But why do ihave to go cos i know its not segregated...will feel sorry for the bride cos she's a hijaabi but has to have amixed wedding to pllease her family and culture...il be the only one praying with all the old people or men....prob be the only one in jilbaab (along with the old women)...ITS just gonna be SHit!!

Then there's this posh wedding next sunday and my elder sister wants to go. She doesn't know whether she can cos she's just had a baby and feels it might be wrong or something. Asked my mum how many people they wrote will attend on the reply slip...2adults and 4kids. Yeah,so my sister can go cos i wont anyway! My mum was like...it doesn't matter cos its just one extra person. AAAGGggGGHHH!!!! My mumdoesn't get this concept that if everyone thought that then there'd prob be another 100-200people extra at a wedding!! with sylheti wedding s its fine cos the more people there are the more 'better' the wedding surposedly is!!! Tried to explain that it isnt a sylheti wedding where we can invite my sister andher family and my bhabi too who knows everyone...ther's definitely a seating arrangement!! This non- Sylheti guy is marrying this Irish girl...think we shall be one of the few sylheti's there!! Think i might go cos atleast iknow it'll be controlled...bet the food wont be nice th0ough.... stupid weddings!! Why cant peoplejust get married in a mosque and not feel the need tohave a big f***ing do!
