Preparing to Leave for India & Get Married: 5 Weeks Away

[Gokul43201]

I'm going to be away on vacation for the next 5 weeks, and visits to PF will be intermittent, at best (or so I think). And by the way, while I'm away, I'm also going get myself hitched. Yup, folks...after several years of courtship, I'm finally tying the knot.

I leave for India monday morning, and will be back next year. I might accasionally sneak into PF while no one's watching, but I doubt there'll be very much of that.

Now, if only I can get all my shopping and packing done...

 

[Math Is Hard]

Congrats and have a great time, Gokul. So you're going to get married in India? They sure have some big fancy weddings there. Bring us back some cake!

 

[Kerrie]

congratulations! you have much to look forward to!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

We wish you all the best in your new life.

So when can we expect Gokul43201.5?

Congratulations to you and your bride!
Ivan and Tsu

 

[Evo]

Congratulations Gokul!

Here's wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

[ZapperZ]

Best Wishes, Gokul! Sorry we couldn't meet up while you were here in Chicago. However, I fully expect you to show up here over the summer with your new bride! We're taking the two of you out to dinner as a belated wedding celebration!

Zz.

 

[moose]

Have a good time.

We'll see you around sometime. Have fun!

 

[Astronuc]

As Uncle Jed would say, Well Doggie! Congratulations on the pending nuptials.

Best wishes for a lifetime of happiness!

 

[zoobyshoe]

Congratulations!

You should just bring your computer with. I think about 35% of the population of India is employed as computer tech support.

 

[hypnagogue]

Congrats Gokul, sounds like a great time in your life! You'll be missed here, but of course the community will keep your seat warm for you, and you're always welcome to pop in when the spirit moves you. We won't tell, honest!

 

[Moonbear]

Congrats and Best Wishes Gokul! I had no idea you were even "courting" someone, as you put it! What a happy surprise. Have a wonderful trip, a joyous wedding, and don't forget to bring your new bride around to meet us all (once you're hitched, it'll be too late for us to scare her off ).

 

[hypatia]

That is very good news! Have a safe and wonderful trip. What a beautiful way to greet the new year.

 

[cronxeh]

goodluck

 

[Gokul43201]

Thanks all ! I hope to have a blast. Y'all have a good yuletide.

 

[courtrigrad]

which part of India? Chennai, Mumbai, New Delhi?

I hope you have a good time.

 

[Gokul43201]

Chennai mostly - but I will be traveling a good bit.

 

[Lisa!]

Congrats to you and your lucky bride!:

Wish you happiness in your life!

 

[mattmns]

Congrats on the knot!

 

[scott_alexsk]

Good for you. Why did you choose India?
-Scott

 

[Gokul43201]

Thanks matt and Lisa! (hope your time away for fruitful). Scott, I didn't choose India; India chose me !

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Congrats Gokul!
Have a safe trip and a wonderful honeymoon!

 

[BobG]

Congratulations!

 

[Gokul43201]

Thanks BobG & TSA !

Time to shove off...bye all !

Best wishes and happy holidays! It's such a beautiful thing!

 

[Danger]

Best wishes, dude. Sounds like you've got a good life happening.

 

[Gokul43201]

Thanks Rose, Danger and...ummm, Tribby.

 

[Moonbear]

So, are you married yet? Let us know when it's time to pop the champagne!

Woah, relax Moonie...I just got here. I'll be officially conjoined sunday around noon (9 days to from today); which will be late saturday night, for you. Right now, I'm too busy eating and shopping

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Woah, relax Moonie...I just got here. I'll be officially conjoined sunday around noon (9 days to from today); which will be late saturday night, for you. Right now, I'm too busy eating and shopping

I think the word "conjoined" is a little too specific for my taste.

 

[Danger]

Oh, come on Ivan. You were young once.
Weren't you?

 

[Moonbear]

Woah, relax Moonie...I just got here. I'll be officially conjoined sunday around noon (9 days to from today); which will be late saturday night, for you. Right now, I'm too busy eating and shopping

Okay, we'll have the champagne on Sunday!

We should throw a PF bachelor party for you!

MIH was willing to play the role of the scantily clad woman for you.

I hope I ordered enough beer...

...because that squirrel from the caption competition thread showed up, and I think he's going to drink us all under the table.

And we all know what's hanging out under the table...

 

[Gokul43201]

I'm finally back. The last month has been a blast. Now it's back to the drudgery !

 

[Astronuc]

Let me first to welcome you back and congratulate you.

I presume you are now married.

 

[Moonbear]

Welcome back, and I hope married life is treating you well.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Welcome back Gokul!

Is the reality of "husband and wife" starting to sink in yet?

 

[Moonbear]

To think that until Gokul started this thread, I didn't even know he was "involved" with someone...I was going to try fixing him up with a post-doc in my lab. I guess that won't be happening now.

 

[Gokul43201]

It doesn't really feel very different, being married. I was promised strong emotional waves and such...but they never came. I guess it's probably because we've been going around for donkeys' years now.

I'll see if I can find a picture or two to put up...still haven't unpacked completely !

 

[Math Is Hard]

Welcome back, Gokul. We really missed you. I hope you had a great time. If you have a chance to share a pic or two with us, that would be super!

 

[zoobyshoe]

Any Gokulings yet?

 

[Moonbear]

Any Gokulings yet?

Ah, the obligatory question to be asked of all newlyweds.

 

[Tsu]

Personally, I think they've been conjoining WAY prior to their nuptuals. Didn't I read somewhere about the arrival of a Gokuling about a year ago (or more?)? And isn't there even ANOTHER Gokuling lurking around somewhere? Or am I just dazed and confused in thinking that Gukul leads multiple lives in various worldly locations?

 

[hypatia]

aawww I'm very happy for you. Not to worry, the strong emotional waves and such, will hit you in about 5 years. hmm its either that or the frying pan will hit you in about 5 years..I keep forgetting which

Note: for the first 5 years of marriage, buy only cheap, lightweight frying pans.

 

[Gokul43201]

No lings in the pipeline...or in the plans, as of now. Tsu is surely confusing me with someone else. I never claimed possession of lings. Hypatia : I'll look out for those flying waves/pans. Perhaps I should build myself a reinforced aluminum helmet that will stop both the pans and the waves from intimately interacting with my skull.

And here's a picture of us...

WOW! She is GORGEOUS!

Gokul, Id say you're lucky, but you're so awesome, I guess I can only say that I wish the two of you the best of luck and no flying pans.

 

[Math Is Hard]

oh, what a sweet picture! Congrats to you both!

 

[Integral]

Wow! She is indeed gorgous! You are a lucky man Gokul.

Speaking of fry pans.. makes me think of a book I just completed. Perhaps I'll start a thread.
