New Age Marri-age

Here’s welcoming you all to the crazy me :). Today I try in this effort of mine, to explore a territory which no one has ever tried to explore before. Just kidding... :) Millions and billions have already tried and got their hands, legs and what not dirty and maybe I just intent to make fun of it. This territory, they call marriage ceremonies. In these times where everything from life to death is influenced by technology, my imagination takes a crazy twist to explore a “what if”... Yes, what if our present day marriage ceremonies were to be completely, or if not completely, crazily influenced by technology. What if people were so crazy that marriages would turn bizarrely online?

Since this is about crazy people and their crazy efforts, who better a protagonist for this bull crap than yours truly... :). So I finally decide to get married and the D-Day finally arrives. Just, for your reference here, let me tell you that I have invited gazzilion people, but have specifically asked none of them to turn up physically for the wedding. I want my wedding ceremony to be streamed live on YouTube. Yes, YouTube... That way, no one needs to make an effort to get up really early in the morning of the wedding and curse the bride and the groom for it. Get up only at the time of the main ceremony, come online, login and voila..... you have my marriage ceremony live on YouTube being streamed to your desktop screens. How convenient.... you could save a fortune, from effort to petrol and new clothes and of course, the best part... avoid highly irritating relatives

After the main ceremonies, it’s time for gifts, This is where you login to eBay and order gifts for the new weds. And please do not forget, the shipping address is the address of either the bride or me depending on whose family you are from or otherwise depending on whom you can tolerate more out of the two.

Now that you have got the gifts shipped to us, you also need to give your blessings to us. Hmmmm... No effort at all.. GTalk, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Orkut and Facebook at your service. Again, all you have to do is login and either write on our scrapbook or wall or plainly ping us your wishes and blessings. Don’t move a muscle and you’ve already attended half the marriage... :)

Now coming to the most important part of attending a wedding. FOOOOD...!! Well, when you did read “Gifts in the form of Blessings only” on my wedding invite, I meant, “Atleast in the form of blessings”... minimum condition required to be eligible for the marriage feast. If you didn’t read between the lines, it ain’t my problem... Strictly, food only for those who bare minimum wish us on this happy or may be not so happy occasion of ours. If we haven’t seen the wish, you ain't getting the food. And talking about food, the sumptuous feast will be parcelled and delivered to your doorstop by the caterers. Conveyance charges for the caterers to be borne by the invitees. Again, don’t move a muscle, avoid the rush, hog in the convenience of your four walls. :)

And last but not the least, all invitees shall be presented with return gifts in the form of online “Thanks for coming and being a part of this mess” cards, with the animated ones only for those who have presented gifts and the plain ones for others.

Well... well... well..., now coming back to reality, all of this above is just my wild imagination. But considering the age and times and of course as I mentioned first, the crazy people to have adorned this crazy planet, this looks very much a possibility. Who knows and who s seen...!!

God Bless...!!
