Cue the Wedding March!!!!!
What a whirlwind start to the Year 2007!
The slow New Year's eve I had was definitely not an indication of what was to come.
I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Dev and Arpeeta coz the two lovebirds are NOW ENGAGED!!!!!!!
I am absolutely ecstatic with joy!!!!!!!
(Boy and Girls who were lusting after my two very pretty friends: Sorry! You'll have to ogle elsewhere now :P)
Dev proposed and (obviously) Arpu said "Yes."
(The actual story is HILARIOUS but I don't think I'm allowed to post that....yet)
Aaah it seems like just yesterday that Mink and I were checking out pictures on Arpu's laptop and froze when we came across Dev's.
"Arpu. Who is THIS."
"Oh some guy from Melbourne."
"He's HOT."
"Really? He's OK I guess.."
I can hardly believe its been almost two years since I started a conversation with that guy and found him to be a lovely person..of course he did kiss ass big time to get my approval ;) (Don't you deny it Dev!)
And of course it seems like just yesterday when Dev called me excitedy to say "Hey Mahi! I think your friend is into me and all that!!":D
But seriously, I can't think of two people more suited for each other.
I'm gonna save the good stuff for the wedding speech later on but hey Dev, I saw the ring and duuuuuuuuuuuuuude I TOTALLY approve :D
Aye with the news of the engagement it's been madness here. When Arpu got back from Melbourne, I got a flurry of phone calls asking if the news was true. I totally felt like her personal assistant/manager/publicist/damage control-
"Arpeeta is extremely tired after her trip but is in good spirits."
"No Arpeeta is NOT married already."
"Yes of COURSE she said "yes" to Dev."
"Arpeeta is currently spending time with her loved ones and is unable to take your calls."
"Arpeeta is napping. I will let her know you wanted to speak to her."
"The wedding date has not been fixed yet, but once it is you will be the first to know (not.)"
"Arpeeta's schedule is currently full but I'll let her know you wanted to meet up."
"No, no she's not pregnant!"
"Arpeeta only has a caramel frap. CARAMEL. Get it right next time, assface."
(Hehe okok I was kidding about the last two. What? You couldn't tell?)
I've said this before..I would do SO well in the PR business.
Of course when I told a few friends about it, the next inevitable questions was "So, Mahi, when are you getting married?"
To which I would answer tongue-in-cheek (of course) "July 10th, 2009. Your invites are in the mailbox. I just need to find a guy and we'll be all set."
Here's to you Arpu and Dev -clink-
I can't wait for the wedding. All those nice, single, slightly tipsy men hanging around.
Heh Heh Heh.
Anyway, I gotta run now!
Places to go, people to meet and all that ;)
Take care guys!

"No, no she's not pregnant!"
"Arpeeta only has a caramel frap. CARAMEL. Get it right next time, assface."
(Hehe okok I was kidding about the last two. What? You couldn't tell?)
Unn... does this mean she IS pregnant and you were kidding when you said she is not?
My best wishes to the newly engaged couple. Let me know if you have trouble writing the wedding speech.
Hey! July 10th is my birthday! :) Of all the random days you could've picked, huh!
exclusively - yea they do dont they?! (i personally think theyre kids are gonna be awesomely cute!)
faith - well arpus gonna turn 22 and devs gonna turn 26..haha yea that is kinda young but hey! age is just a number :)
urbanpro - trust you to catch the ambiguity :) i obviously didnt say those two statements
ure good at writing wedding speeches eh? ill be getting in touch with u!
anon - haha yea i know! :D luck of the draw
I am sure there were more calls and questions but you have carefully censored them... .
So yeah... get into a relationship... select a dude...
I'm looking forward to the interview sessions ;)
Dev- We get round one.
And we do it S class. Punjab Ishtyle.
You get the chainsaw... I'll get the beer.
And what timing MahiJaan....July 10 is my 'Happy Birthday to you' :D
Oooh! What a pretty couple!
Oooh! What pretty news!
Ooooh! Pretty, pretty everywhere!
Ooooh! What a pretty hostess das FO SHO!
PR? Wowie! Hey, if I get famous somehow will you do PR for me??? That would be faboo and a good excuse to get famous and if you do my PR we can hang out and I will act like a snob and you can have a cell phone with you at all times and look all fabulously frazzled while you yell away at people. Oooh! Sooo pretty a thought! ;-P
"I just need to find a guy and we'll be all set.""
I think I have a suitable candidate on the horizon!
cheers mahi!
thanks for the lovely post - i have to admit, i'm an extremely luck guy...arpeeta is one fine catch!
thanks for all the help in catching this one mahi, all ur words of wisdom (and photos that arpu didnt send me of her)....i'd swear, if u weren't arpu's friend, u would be coming from my side of the wedding as you have been instrumental in helping me understanding women! ha.
btw, any tips for marriage?
congrats to the newly engaged couple...
:)
KJ
congrats arpu and dev..im so happy for u guys!!! mahi..nice post(as usual)!
Wedding bells are in the air!!! They look really cute together...
Tell Dev that he'll be taking many trips down to Dandenong for all that can't-get-because-we-ain't-in-India stuff and PLAN well ahead!!! I love weddings!!! Arpita will look BEAUTIFUL in a sari...
*mentally starts imagining us going wedding shopping together* Maybe not...lol
That's so funny Mahi - the same thing happened after I got engaged too - got my sis to take the calls lol :)
All the best to all of them :)

Mahi: This is just amazing, my wedding date's also July 10th, 2009 and I'm yet to find me a girl ... ok .. u know where i'm headed again ... but i kinda made a promise ... so no
Its actually me, Nal, but stupid blogger beta wont let me post otherwise. Grrr...
Congratulatins Arpu and Dev, u both look like movie stars, bet you will have pretty kids. I have a handsome 7 year old son.... but enough!!! I promised I won't betroth him to strangers. Arpu, let's be friends eh?
Mahi, tell me where these slightly tipsy men are, again??
harjee - no way! whys everyones bday on july 10 th :S did i miss the memo? :P ey if ure gonna interrogate my guy u'd better be gentle with him! i dont want any bodily injury done (leave that to me :P)
miz b - oh i'll do PR for u!!! i'm so good at it :D helloooo we can hang out even if u dont get famous (we just have to sort out the 'different continents' thing :P)

apoo - dont start *growl*
dev - oh devster dont thank me! what had to happen, happened..i just sorta sped up the process hehe
u wanna thank me??
ADD ME TO THE SAALI LIST YOU CHEAPSKATE!!!!!!!!!! :@
oh i got loads of tips for marriage (since im so experienced and all :P): if she says "does this dress make me look fat?" theres always only ONE correct answer.
"No way! You look hot!"
and for heavens sake...dont pause/hesitate before you answer :S
kj & roohi - :D
silvara - oh yeaaa! dandenong! thats where you get all the indiany stuff right?? haha well if arpu needs help with the shopping i know who to point her to ;)
rajesh - its my excitement man..its infectious ;)
abhi - read reply to apoos comment above :P and be strong man..what happened to 'i shall not propose marriage to mahi anymore'?? :P stick to your resolutions!!!!!
nal - dude old blogger rocks (i cant believe i just said that sentence...how geeky am i?) betroth him!!! you never know how lucky he may get! nal you already have a man..shameless woman :P
Yo Mahi, I'm back!:)
I've never had much luck with men at weddings. Especially family weddings. All I ever get is the occasional sister-of-the-groom pimping her other unmarried brother who couldn't make it to the wedding, but who is VERY hot, and earns shitloads of money.
Hope you have better luck than that.
... with the generic definition I am well on course to stand by my resolution this year (don't ask me to define 'a year', that's my giveaway)
and for heaven's (or the place where no one has gone before)'s sakes .... stop blushing ... this year's gonna be dry from me ... not a single drop of spirited entertainment coming your way gurl
... also when you have the time, lookup the word 'Proposal' over your pocket thesaurus (buy one or go ) and if you have the time .. lookup 'Metatarsophalangeal' for me too please
PS: don't get weird ideas on the 'place where no one has gone before' stint ... that only refers to ur fetish for trek-o
good deeds buddy.. u have been a good PA it seems.. ;-)
why u keeping ur marriage date on a rainy day?? didnt u check with the Met office or what?? ;-)
all the best!
ahh ... link blooper!
... see, im still blind .... and i paid all my fees to the doc to get my eyesight fixed ...
... don't delete this comment mahi ... i need to show my doc what he did to me
sweet. will to take me to the wedding as your date? I love weddings. They make me all teary eyed :)
no not really. but there's always hot chicks at weddings. Have you seen that wedding crashers movie?
raindrops - where the hell were you all this while!? isnt it weird how the rich hot single men fail to turn up at these weddings? :S talk about shitty luck!
tetra - oh shit...you're right..july does get really wet..god my hair will be a disaster :S thanks for the heads up :P
abhi - ....you REALLY need to stop commenting on my blog when you're drunk
:P
ninja - you idiot. if you're going as my date, YOU'LL be the one with the hot woman at his arm.
*wearily shakes head*
men.
so im never allowed to comment? sob!
OOOOOO, hot single, tipsy men.
If you dont score, I'll shun you.
hahaha congrats to the homies...
i love it when close friends marry....i'm predicting a large number of 'knots' this coming year...
and i'll see you soon! (wink wink)
YES! Good timing. Funny thing is, two of my friend's sisters are getting married(NOT to each other!), and....my sister's wedding's been planned as well! Bing!
Hmm...at this rate you'll be known as "The Matchmaker." Y'know, find another guy at their wedding...preferably drunk.
Will SOMEBODY (and I know who) visit my blog.Ok, I'm shamelessly advertising it...it's rather dark now, but it'll hopefully get lighter. Needs a lot of work...k, I'm off...
