Viral Marriage Proposal: Marriage is one of the biggest decisions of life and in our country it often becomes even more difficult because it is rarely entirely one’s choice. The family is very involved in this. The opinion of elders matters and approval is usually an essential part of the process. If someone is thinking of getting married, introducing your partner to your parents often requires a lot of planning. Many people spend days thinking, rehearsing and planning the right moment and way to break the news to their parents and introduce their partner.
From choosing the right opportunity to carefully crafting each sentence, the process can seem a little nerve-wracking. But a woman adopted a very different method of introducing her partner to her mother for marriage. Its method was completely new era. This girl used technology properly for her marriage.
project damad ji
Prakriti (name changed), living in Noida, is an organizational psychologist by profession. She decided to present a PPT named ‘Project Damad Ji’ to present her boyfriend to her mother for marriage. Instead of a long conversation or an emotional appeal, he gave her a PowerPoint presentation to formally introduce her and seek her mother’s blessings for the marriage.
All information slide to slide
The presentation started with a title slide on which it was written Project Damad Ji. Next came clean slides with all the detail one could expect. Her boyfriend’s age, education, family background, profession, career prospects. Other information that parents often want to know about potential matches for their children. In many ways, it was as detailed as any professional pitch deck.
why did you do this
But why did she decide to introduce her boyfriend using PPT, instead of telling her parents in a direct conversation? It turned out that she did not want her mother to feel that she was taking the biggest decision of her life without thinking or blindly out of love. Instead, she wanted to convey that her decision was a wise and thoughtful one.
practical for wedding
Prakriti told, ‘At the age of 30, I want to be practical about marriage. I want to make it clear that I am taking this decision with full wisdom. I am not going crazy in love with this person (my boyfriend). To be honest, I didn’t know what kind of reactions might come, so I chose something that would also keep my sanity. He laughed and said, ‘Even my friends were surprised to hear this, but they also know my strange habits, so I think I got the right blessings.’
Mother has no questions left
As per presentation protocol, Prakriti also opened the floor for follow-up questions at the end. She says her mother didn’t have many questions because she had already given all the details a parent usually needs or asks. Recalling that moment, Mother Nature said that while the presentation seemed strange, it was not completely surprising. He said, ‘I thought she was going to show me some work-related presentation about which she needed some tips or maybe she wanted me to review it.’ Explaining the reason behind her daughter’s unique way of introducing her boyfriend, she says that Prakriti has always been very particular about announcements, and big gestures have always been her style.
I understood- mother
The mother said, ‘As soon as she started, I understood what she was trying to say and why she wanted to do the introduction in this way. He has liked big gestures and announcements since childhood. Even when she was elected house captain in school, she planned a small surprise party at the age of just 11. Although I must say, the presentation had all the right information a mother would want to know about her ‘son-in-law’ and it was very detailed,’
