oh lola...you're great!

Lola, how are you?

(saw your thread earlier this week)

I'm great thanks boysarelikedogs! Just getting on but I want a DH!!! I want to be married and then I too can go on the relationships thread and moan about my DH How are you?

thanks daftpunk , you are too me hearty!

Am asian,would love to arrange one!

All well this end Lola, ta.

I am not Asian but would love an arranged marraige for the same reasons as LTSG. (I am now 43 in a v disappointing relationship that will never end in marraige). However I would want to choose the arrangers so I would feel I had a bit of faith in their choice (my parents would choose Prince Charles himself or v similar).

Erm, well, no offence but I think I have read a few of your threads about your mother's relationship which would suggest that she might not do the best job in the world in selecting a husband for you...

I know that they can work very well. But i shudder to think who my dm would have picked out for me!!!!!

I'd quite like an arranged marriage. Arranged by my dad, who liked me far more when I was 20 than I like myself, and would have had higher standards for me!

You wouldn't want a marriage arranged by your fecking mother, would you?

(Just looked up and seen that SGB has made just that point! )

But in all seriousness, I think arranged marriages (not forced marriages) can be wonderful things. If done properly, by loving parents who know you well! You meet someone and can make a terrible choice based on lust or something. how much better for a sensible choice to be made based on something more lasting?

Oh no I don't want my mother to choose my husband, feck, she can't even choose her own right, can she? I'm going to find him on thegumtree and marry him in vegas or no, blackpool'll do...i'm dead classy me!

actually, i'd love a mumsnetter to choose him. I don't want to see him before or during the wedding, just after we've said our vows'll do incase he is a minger gives me cold feet.

I've got just the guy for you. He's got a lovely personality

or there's this guy who gets about a bit, but is really very sweet.

yikes hecate, where's my divorce lawyer?!?!

lola.you can have my dh-there sorted.
