What could possibly be worse than....

.....having your molar pulled out by a female dentist suffering from PMS?

A wedding. Yep. A wedding, that's what. Especially if you are female. Especially if it's the wedding of a female related to you because your great great great great great grand father and her's wore the same akalas. Especially if her relatives and yours are one and the same. Especially if she is younger than you by a number of years. Especially if you are attending such real or imagined wedding on your own (your handbag or cellphone or sister, cousin, brother, gardener does not count). Especially if you have not stated, are in no danger of stating, might never state the words "I do" while holding someone's hand up in the air (what's up with that?). Especially if all other females in attendance born cirka your year of birth all come endowed with a requisite accessory - a man (qualities are not an issue here. He comes with three legs and you are through).

Oh, there's nothing worse. Yet, while armed with this information, I dared tread where no single woman over 20 should dare venture. Everything was criticised from my bony shoulderblades, my hips or lack thereof, my long claws, my strawlike nywele, my corny feet, my bad skin....and this was before I got to the ceremony! Phew. Talk about being hang to dry. All the "aunts" suddenly become chummy and the entire event becomes Operation-Get-Ichiena-Married. Imagine an aunt popping up with a dude in tow and insisting on introducing you, "Yes, this is Ichiena..mhmmm! She's a qualified XXYY. Goes to church at ABCD. Works for 456." I had an experience where a pals mum came to my office - my office! - with her nephew in tow and insisted that we exchange numbers and promise to call one another. I kid you not. Of course, i always think, if dude is spineless enough to warrant an introduction through an aunt will there be a stiff bone on him?

Anyway, I cut the nonsense short by telling one of the "aunts", who I am certain acquired this title just for this occassion, that I love paka. Now, as to how fast this will get back to my mother.....

In conclusion - anyone i can hire for the next wedding? Males need not apply!


And since this was a wedding post, here are some wedding jokes...hehehe.

The Honeymooners

The nervous young bride became irritated by her husband's lusty advances on their wedding night and reprimanded him severely. "I demand proper manners in bed," she declared, "just as I do at the dinner table."

Amused by his wife's formality, the groom smoothed his rumpled hair and climbed quietly between the sheets. "Is that better?" he asked, with a hint of a smile. "Yes," replied the girl, "much better." "Very good, darling," the husband whispered. "Now would you be so kind as to please pass the cunt."

Ten Husbands, Still A Virgin
A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin."

"What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"

"Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

Husband #2 was in software services; he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.

Husband #3 was from field services; he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.

Husband #4 was in telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.

Husband #5 was an engineer; he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

Husband #6 was from finance and administration; he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.

Husband #7 was in marketing; although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.

Husband #8 was a psychologist; all he ever did was talk about it.

Husband #9 was a gynecologist; all he did was look at it.

Husband #10 was a stamp collector; all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"

"Good," said the new husband, "but, why?"

"You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"

Oh, and finally, I passed by the castle and those pick-up lines reminded me of these put-down ones:

First! Mpaka I beat the aggregator! But these days everyone beats the aggregator so big deal. Off to read

Savvy Dreamer said...

where's the rest of it??? ... that what id probably say!!! lol

Girl next door said...

Weddings can be torturous when people feel they have a duty to find you a mate. I strongly sympathize. All the older women love to match people up.

Love the jokes :)

Prousette said...

I feel your tribulations really.
But there are worse things. Like a church member trying to fix you with his/her brother several times insisting that you do not look married!! And this is after the fact.

Ten husbands! that is one long suffering woman.

Lioness said...

I'll volunteer for wedding duty, and for some of these weddings, it really is a duty!

The jokes were hilarious - I especially liked 'maybe if we water it.... Hahhahhahhahha!

Ichiena said...

@Archer: Yeah - what's the deal with Aggregator?

@Nahjaj: First, welcome! Second - my lines would be -"Is it out yet?", "Oh look, it's hiding", "Coochie coo" "Hold it while I grab my microscope"

@Girl Neighbour: I get amazed that they never give up. Year in year out. And the idiot that is me keeps going back for more!

@Prou: Ha, lakini that one of trying to convince them you are taken is hilarious! Mhmm... I actually know someone it still takes that long to be convinced.

@Lioness: Karibu kwangu. Do you have a thick skin, inborn ear plugs and sharp retorts? If so I will invite you to the next one. Start saying your prayers.

Adrian said...

giggle and point - ouch!
some funny ones there.

"i love paka" - good excuse.

egm said...

Ah, poor Mama Boi. Si you just tell them Baba Boi is alive n kicking, thus no need for hookups! Weddings are a torture, eh?

Hizo jokes... wacha tu.

I've wachad on hint on mines...

Girl in the Meadow said...

LOL! at female dentist on PMS? i just wished that dentist was me

your aunts; you should have played the funeral joke of "You are next?

Nobody cares if i get hitched or not, there are so many before me who haven't mpaka i am kiddo to them. My aunt is 39 and single and bila kids

Acolyte said...

Lol @ prou
Kwani what is it about you that makes you look so single?
@ Ichiena
Dang you have cracked me up! It seems there is something about the older folk that aches when they see a single person. It is about time they understood some people dont mind the single life!
I am waiting for the msomo you will get for switching teams!
Those jokes cracked me up! Especially the ego breakers!

Ichiena said...

@Adrian: That was my favourite, hehe.

@Baba Boi: Si you jua that msemo. Fimbo ya mbali haiuwi nyo-? Haiuwi nyoka! Hehehe. Thanks for the hint, wacha i go crack my head now.

@Shiroh: Sasa you want to be the dentist, you nut you! I am cursed for being first born in the clan - ooi! Currrrses I tell ya. Na hiyo funeral joke haki sijui. Hebu sambaza.

Ichiena said...

@Aco: Hala! Umepitia wapi you stealthy man you...hehehe. Eh, with them old folks you try the "Some of us are meant to be single" line and it will be your funeral. The switching teams is more practical because they kimya on that note.

Ohhh how i love weddings - just the part of cake-eating, checking people out etc. the fun ends when some distant aunt says "next on the line is chatterly" i give her the "kwani-hio-keki-umekula-haikukutosha" kind of stare :-)
7. Make it dance. LOL!!

Anonymous said...

@Mwangi: LOL! Haki you have killed me. Owww men! Na karibu kwangu, kunyonya tutanyonya if need be.

@Chatterly: You are one in a million I tell ya. Hebu kwanza, you are probably revealing your age, hehehe...and so am I, mhmm..

@Bomseh: Kwanza hii ilikuwa ya church - the entertainment included several choirs from the mama's church, baba's church, hosting church, parents' church, in-laws' church, church from shags...complete with marching marching and actions.

Princess said...

Too funny!!!

I went to my friend's wedding solo and it was weird, but I am so unperturbed by such things that it didn't bother me that much!! I'd rather go alone than go with some dude that will get on my nerves!!
