To the person I will marry...
I don't know who you are but I know I will find you one day.
Look me in the eye when we meet, and let me look into your soul.
Do not lie to me, and tell me if you don't like my appearance/ BO/ dressing sense.
Give me a direct answer when I go down on my knees and ask you, "Will you marry me?".
Shop for our wedding and put on your best smile for the occasion, its the only one we will have.
Talk about your dreams and fears when we cuddle up during our honeymoon.
Believe me.
Bring over the romance when we come back to our home but ensure you make breakfast.
Do not insist on me talking when I am visibly not in the mood to.
When in doubt, ask me. I will let you know.
Tell me "I have a headache" before and not after. I will understand.
Don't take my answer at face value when you ask me, "Am I looking good?".
I will try never to break you heart. But I may fail sometimes.
If you do not like any of my friends, do not show it to them. Tell me.
Tell me if you don't like my habits, but say it only once, maybe twice, no more.
Try to love my parents like I do. More will be much appreciated.
Treat my money as our money.
Lets take a week-long holiday every year.
Lets try and not miss my/ your/ our favourite acts/ movies/ plays when they come to town.
Tell me when you ready to have a baby. We will make them together.
I will help you change nappies, but don't shout if I am clumsy.
Lets raise the child (ren?) in the way both of us feel fit. And lets give them our best.
Lets not regret if they don't come up to our high expectations.
Make sure either one of us (preferably both) goes to their PTAs.
When we grow older, lets hold hands at least once every day.
If I die before you, take care of the family and do not shed tears.
We will meet again up there.
I will still love you.

February 6, 2004 01:38 PM PST
Make sure *Can you feel the love tonight* plays in the background :).
I'm not being me here. I'm being my mushy self.
Maybe you should rename yourself Simba :D:D:D:D:D. | |

Leo, honey, I'm taking up too much space in your comments section, but if this isn't meant for blogger women, WHAT THE HELL are you waitin for ?? Go and lay it thick to someone in your real life !!!!
Cut out the MCPesque bits, though. Keep the mushy stuff intact :).
Nope, no badnaam karoing. Just being me. | |

Beautiful, little misty-eyed beautiful and straight from the heart...lovely. In particular, appreciated your candour and practical way of looking at it. You laid it like it is. At the same time, I am not sure but perhaps a lil old-worldly and conventional for my personal liking! :) Then again, I am anything but conventional! :) | |

I never know guys TOO are senti mental creatures. When I read these "Gone with the wind", "The Idiot","Jude the Obscure", "Anna Kerenina", "Groung Beneth Her Feet" I think all the guys like to marry conniving, vivicious, cheating,calculating BUT SEXY gals.
This post seems contradictory. Now I am confused. :-( :-( :-( :-(

Oye ranjan: Jeez! Cant miss this for a million years! YOU MADE THAT UP? You need to get married soon dude.You cant have all that mush stored inside and be normal! I have a headache now..actually had it before (...reading this) hehe!
Chane your sex, get married to maddie..if you dont prefer the operation, Patrix is always there.
But tell you what..some of the stuff was cool... but i wont admit it. | |
| | | Ranjan
February 5, 2004 07:54 PM PST
Maddie: Tum ne to muhje badnaam kar diya!!
W_bug: The idea is NOT to patao anyone from the blogworld... the ones that would have been my 'targets' are all married :( | |
| | | W-bug
February 5, 2004 06:51 PM PST
LOLS the messages are spicy here!
Abt your promises.. hmm aahh really can't say. Perhaps koi pat jayegee.... good luck!!!!!! ;) But I still think you're a bit of an MCP. :-D | |

| | | Ms.Madmax
February 5, 2004 04:26 PM PST
We-ll, do I have to go down on my knees now ?? X-(.
You sending me the money for the gender reversal, aren't you ?? Make sure you schedule yours at around the same time :P.
Otherwise, we'll be such a happy and gay couple on our wedding day :D:D:D. | |
| | | Ranjan
February 5, 2004 04:22 PM PST
Maddie: Are you asking me? I would love to if you and I had reverse genders :) | |
| | | Ranjan
February 5, 2004 04:17 PM PST
LL: No, mate... no luck!! No fellow blogger :( also, if you see these in an SRK flick, will you keep me posted so I can sue them for coyright violation?
Non-sensei: Whatever made you think so? :) | |
| | | Ms.Madmax
February 5, 2004 04:15 PM PST
