Congrats to reader chick pea on her tongue-in-cheek ‘wedding’

Huevos don’t last forever |
TN boy and I made a pact 10 years ago, that we’d get married if we hadn’t or had anything cooking by the age of 30. Well, a few weeks ago, he turned 30, I left him a voicemail to wish him a Happy Birthday along with a message of how he wanted the invitations to look :).… I just got an email from him (he’s now also a doctor, and a busy resident in NYC) that he’d have to brush up on his Gujarati skills, and to have the wedding planned, as we must now get married….and to hurry it along since the deal breaks by age 31… too funny, too funny, too funny.
So people, help me plan a quick wedding, simple, short, and sweet. [Link]
To everyone else, who was your marriage pact with, and how did it turn out?
How totally cute. I had the foresite @ 20 to know not to make such a pact considering 10 years could make a man look real hot or turn him into a big eared beast with a pot belly and nose hair!!
oh this should be good… this means i get to go find chick pea in the law library and give her some mithai!
chick pea—here’s your warning–count on me giving you something ridiculous for your pending vows!
i don’t know MANISH, you tell ME. 😉
:+:
i wasn’t one of these hung-up-on-and-terrified-of age 30-types, so ask me in two years (the compromise…i wanted 35, he wanted fresh huevos).
ohhh manish.. now i’m flattered (batting eyes/eyelashes away)…
so, help me PLAN and stop commenting on the deal.. otherwise, i’m expired meat.. hehe..
jane of all trades: this boy is super fine.. honestly, likely the best looking indian boy i know..(no joke..).. lucked out on that part..hehe…
yeah tis cute, tis cute…and super funny… the invites are in the mail y’all… 😉
the non-expired bean…whohoooo… keeping my momma happy…(chuckle!)
Ive heard a lot about these Marriage pact. I didn’t actually think they were real ;-). Perhaps I should get myself locked into one.
So Chickpea, what are you waiting for?? You obviously have a crush on him – don’t let him get away! He probably likes you too since you’re all sweet’n’all. These things are never fully in jest…..
this post just made me realize i made this deal with someone in high school and someone else in college. looks like i’m moving to utah if i’m not attached to a ball and chain by 30 😉
just getting the details finalized.. ya know, ring size, and those little details.. platinum vs. gold… vs. white gold… yes yes… and how huge the rock will be… (chuckle!)
and of course, deciding where to get married… cali vs india and then booking the place/deejay/food people/mehndi people/gosh..all that jazz…
so much to do and so little time.. i expire in um.. 11 days and will turn 30….hehe…
ang:not a crush, a great friend… and it’s just awesome that we’ve both kept in touch for the last 10 years and have remembered our pact..it’s rare that these friendships last so long (esp from a summer/study abroad, you know?)…hehe.. all my friends say to ‘go for it, he is so hot..’… it’s just hilarious to say the least… i do what i do best… giggle, laugh, and bat the lashes ;)…we’ll see what pans out… otherwise, you will get an invite as well… and of course, the registry will be at: LL Bean…
laugh.. because this post just made my day so much better in the hummus world 🙂 cheers the bean.
i’ll help you find the perfect vendors if you let me follow you around during the planning process =)
I hope you really ARE getting married chick pea. I don’t want to have been misled by a cynical, cold, cold lie.
I don’t like being LIED to.
Honey what are you waiting for? Superfine desi available boys are rare. Did I mention available?
uhh… 30+ is a little long in the tooth to be called a boy.
might i suggest a little help
hey chickpea… in reading the above it sounds like i’m being snarky… was not… just generally adding to the thread… hope all goes well for you with a guy or without…
Oh shit. I think I made about four of these but I forget with whom. I hope none of the girls come calling…
Adarsh – FOUR girls? You made a pact with other girls? You made a pact with other girls?!! You said it was just me!
you guys have made my wednesday more bearable 🙂 dhaavak: life goes on with men/boys or without them… hehe.. no snarkiness taken..
bong breaker: one day.. hehe.. don’t know if it will happen in this boy’s 1 year time frame.. i have a lot on my plate this year already to do… hehe…
sona: thanks for the help offered when needed to plan 😉
adarsh: 4 gals? i only made one pact.. let’s see if it all pans out.. honestly that will be one funny speech during the reception… how the hell did you decide to marry? um. we figured it out 10 years ago.. um.. yeah… 😉
janeofalltrades: yes tis rare, tis very rare… this i know… :)… but it’s all in jest and very punny…and for manish to pick it up, i’m truly honored…
made my day, today i met ted turner and get featered on a sepia post? hell i need to go and buy a lottery ticket…
cheers y’all…anyone else want to make a pact with me for 40? 🙂
You have mentioned your Ted Turner
meatingmeeting enough, now I DEMAND you get married!It’s true, we’re all taken.
Ah balls, I thought you said superslime.
demand command… whatever…
hehe… now if the rock was big enough… then i’d commit..
joking y’all for those serious non-humorous people…
if ted was to propose… maybe i could change the name to bean field.. hehe.. but with all the trades that the braves have been making who knows if we can go for 15 straight… hm… is cox going nutz?
wow…lol…only had one do any sort of pact with me, and it wasn’t the 10 yar one. funny, but it was the best thing i ever did. he’s change myliufe because of it!
Chickpea, I wanted to comment on your blog, but I’m too lazy to sign up for a blogger account 😉
If you’re swamped with law school you could at least have the sagaai, get a little loot, make a promise of the wedding, then get married next year, and i know of a great planner 🙂
desidancer: no, i’m a physician who studies in the law school library.. a pseudo law student 🙂
hehe… sign up for an account, would appreciate your insight/comments..and of course your dancing 🙂
cheers the bean
Yeah sign up DD! Sign up! DD! Sign! Up! DD! Up!
That is all.
chola- oops, didn’t realize you play a lawyer in the library but not in real life 🙂
Get the boy! Get the boy!
DD: i’m chana masala to you 😉
get the boy, get the boy? sounds like the lord of the flies when piggy is getting bombarded with piggy, piggy… haha…
we’ll see… we’ll see… t-10 days till i’m the 30…
the doctor playing pseudo LA law in ATL the bean.
bong breaker: you are too funny dear.. love your blog…
get DD to sign up.. ;).. haha.. and you too…then we’ll see what happens with my huevos..
OOH! Some asshat on blogger has my name! OUTRAGE! Identity thief! baaah!
tis okay DD…why don’t you become desidiscodancer 🙂
come on now.. get in the spirit.. i can see your arms forming the Y-M-C-A 🙂
Aw thanks chick pea, I too drop by yours quite frequently, what with the old medical connection what what what and all that. And I love houmous, hooray!
DD, why don’t you sort some sort of Desi_Dancer thing out, some permutation? Or failing that JaiSinghHasTheHotsForMe is probably not taken. Muahahaha!
Asshat. Still growing on me, what a great word.
Imagine an ass hat. An ass which wears a hat. Like a trilby.
“What the hell is that on your ass?” “Oh it’s just my asshat” “Stay away from me you fuckup”
Then it starts to rain.
“Oh man, my ass is all wet!” “Haha, not me, I have my trusty asshat on!”
It’s like that scene in SNL’s Celebrity Jeopardy when Sean Connery selects ‘AN ALBUM COVER’ and says:
“OK Trebec, I’ll take ANAL BUM COVER for 800”
Bongsy, I don’t know if it’s an ass wearing a hat, so much as it’s one who wears an ass for their hat… I always thought it was the latter, and it seems Urban Dictionary feels the same 🙂
How did you know i was going to use JaiSinghHasTheHotsForMe at blogspot dot com?
Yes yes I know it’s not a literal ass hat, jeez you had to ruin my little fantasy land of fun. I rather like picturing what insults would really look like.
What genus is a dick weed? How does one fuck oneself? What is a cock-knocker? (Not Mark Hamill)
Etc.
bong breaker: you do read it? now i’m turning red into the spicy chana 😉
dd: asshat.. too damn funny.. too damn funny… are you the ass in the hat or the hat in the ass… tis like tomato tamato, potato, patato.. ya know.. and get the gist.. the point is we’re all laughing silly…
or should we write a children’s book? “The Ass in the Hat” though I’m not sure I want to explore the part where he busts out Thing 1 and Thing 2. Eek!
now that would be a book for the ages….
that and run bong, run..see bong run…go bong go 🙂
I’m 19. My best friend is 22. The deadline is when I turn 28… I have 9 years and I hope that it doesn’t come to this.
DD: THANKS FOR POSTING ON MY BLOG DD…hehe.. you just made my thursday… see, tis the simple things….that keep the bean and her hummus world afloat…
rash: 28? hehe.. now i’m an old aunty 😉
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! thats golden! depends on who owns which thing 1 and thing 2 !
hahah..i’m just gald to have gotten who i did when i did. ;)i spent too long complaining of not finding anyone good.
Bong Breaker,
You know, some would say that repeatedly drawing attention to Party 1’s alleged interest in Party 2 is a time-honoured desi way of covering up one’s own interest in Party 2 😉
just kidding
Possibly, because — despite my dashing appearance and rumours to the contrary — I am not actually a male hoochie. Like I said before, I’m a thorough gentleman — but with just enough of a twist of “badmaashi” to keep things interesting 😉
