Yea that's what i'm trying to avoid - not to mention I really want her to be a doctor, she's worked very hard for this, whereas I basically just got born into it.
Not that I didn't work hard...
But I respect that and would never want to take it away from her.
Perhaps we could just get used to the distance
Well neither of us are too keen on the idea of seperation... but we're also not enchanted with the idea of giving up our chosen career paths...
So really the question is one of schools, and who should give in on going to their choice school. I've been looking forward to Oxford for a very long time now, and she wants to stay at Columbia. The only thing I can think of is Harv. Law, since Boston is a lot closer to NYC than Oxford is. But I really hate Harvard's faculty and there really isn't any strong international law program at Columbia or NYU - the next best are Yale or UVA.
So for me it would definitely mean putting off LS for 4 years. She didn't apply to any British schools so it would mean at least a year off for her if I dragged her to Britain.
Basically we're both spoiled and want everything. Id like some sort of mutual sacrifice so neither of us feels guilty, but I could certainly live with myself if I let LS go for a couple years...
no biggie
just become pen pals
I think thats sweet
Has anyone else been planning their wedding since they were little?
I have organised folder which consists of exactly what I want on my big day. :oops:
LOL
No way
Lol-Thats sweet.
Bt I've never been a wedding planner. I've never day dreamed about the "big day". I'm not fussed for details.
However, I've always kept my eyes open for wedding suits.

From my observation, and watching reruns of bollywood weddings it would be hard to distinguish the difference between a Hindu Wedding to that of a Bengali/Pakistani cultural weddings, similar to modern Arab weddings they replicate the Christians style of matrimony.
My first and only identity is a Muslim. I pledge no allegiance to nationalism

lol oh lilsis...
true. but there's no specific 'Islamic' way of having a wedding either. Islam is a framework which one should adapt to their culture - there is nothing wrong with a bride wearing a white gown, or red lengha, as long as Islamic guidelines are followed in the wedding.

lol the only reason for a white gown is to denote purity - virginity.
It's sorta religious but not really
i knew that! :roll:
but as u said the religious significance of it doesnt really exist anymore...

i wanted a white lengha for my wedding...well ivory actually..please don't remind me that was my only regret. the grooms side bought me a sari, ivory but i don't think i've ever get over it even though it's just a material thing.
I've never been mad about red, actually prefer burgandy shades to bright red. I vowed to never wear a red gown heee hee, got my wish.
lol it also denotes health - wealthy warlords in the dark ages tried to barter off their daughters to pay off debts, but since there was a plague everybody was afraid.
So they doused them in white powder put them in white clothes and claimed health!
...ahh the plague - disappeared with the invention of "hygeine"
i'm confused - u wanted an ivory lengha, they got u an ivory sari, u didnt like it... or something? clarification needed...

[b]Salam Alikum, [/b]
I’ve debated the etiquette of an Islamic wedding many times before (about 400 post worth), I was even banned once because I attacked a cultural muslim for posting obscene pictures, for me; modesty is every think and this will be reflected in my 500 pound wedding budget excluding catering but that figure includes the mahar budget or dowry better known as to South Asian Muslim.

lol... boy i'm sure that special lady can't wait to jump on board the cheapskate boat.
Your wedding might be so modest there is no bride.
there's no need to 'attack' anyone in a debate - its doesnt exactly get ur point across well.
if u mean 'modesty' as opposed to ostentation then thats fine, good for u. but my point was regarding culture - there is nothing wrong with wearing one's cultural dress in a wedding or going by cultural tradition, as long as it does not contradict Islamic guidelines.
and mahar is an urdu word too so South Asians would understand.

I'm crazy about deep shades of maroon....most of my asian suits are that colour-lol.
But white is also such a pure, clean colour...I can imagine a white/cream sari looking really classy.
But I'd def wear deep red on my wedding.
same here!

Yeah red or maroon is gorgus, sis is gettin a deep red for her wedding and she is goin to wear white on her nikkah.
How cool. I've often thought about wearing white on my Nikkah or lilac...
When's your sis getting married? Boy you must be so excited..
[b]Salam Alikum, [/b]
Have you studied Islam are you even Muslim? How much did the Prophet (Sal allahu aleihi wasallam) spent or the companion (Radi Allah Anhu) spend on their lavish weddings?
That is today’s homework for you Mr.Don!

Either would look great, my cousin had a lilac kameez and white loose trousers, it looked gorgus. I think i would too choose white
Yep but i haven't even brought nothin for the weddin yet but inshallah i am hopin to go to the Milad-un-Nabi
in Pak, heard they have the best shops in Lahore.
Pakistan is the best place for wedding shopping...
The standard rate for wedding suits down here is a grand...and they're not even all that.
BUT, green street is the best place when it comes to clothes, shoes, bangles etc...
Make sure you contact me if you ever come down here...I'll take you everywhere-lol.
Dont worry if i come down to London i am gona hassle you and lilsis (i cant spell her name properly so i avoid it :oops: ) and Aasiyah to take me EVERYWHERE!
However most shoppin is likely to be done in Pak or here in Glasgow cuz we have a lot of asian shops.
lol i think its 'Madheia'? (or i may hav the i and e switched?)
but sure thing, that would be so much fun!!
