“Ammata Siri! I think I just got MARRIED!”: The Wedding Pics Of Mr. Lazy & Mrs. Smart

By on November 26, 2015 in General Updates
wfi-2

The exact moment I saw her in her bridal outfit for the 1st time

There’s only one girl in the world who can make me smile like this…

And guess what, folks???

I JUST MARRIED HER!

But before I show you any photos of the whole shindig, first, here’s an open letter to each of you.

 

26th November, 2015

 

My dear Lazy But Smart Tribesters,

How’s it going?

I’ve known some of you for over 2 years and – at the rate of the daily new subscriptions I’m getting now – I probably know some of you for just over 2 hours.

Either way, over all these years, months, and sometimes even hours, you’ve been so kind to reach out to me and tell me about your family, your work, and your health. You’ve sent me photos of your birthday parties, your weddings, and your kids (including those cute munchkins you’ve adopted from Sri Lanka).

Basically, you’ve treated me like a dear friend, rather than “some guy on the internet”.

And so, I felt like I too should share the news with you that very recently, I took on the most important role of my life so far.

… The role of being a HUSBAND.

So now you know why I’ve been quiet these past months. Not easy putting together a celebration of 5 events, spanning across 3 days, for *only* 300 people in India, in a hotel very close to the Taj Mahal, right?

The few of you who knew what I was up to asked me to share some photos of the event, and not being one to disappoint (and one who’s never been too modest to show off) here they are. I’ve grouped them by event.

Seriously though, I feel “blessed” to have our little community with whom I can share such a special moment of my life.

Once the whole “settling in” into our new home happens, I promise to get back to my old rhythm of putting out Sinhala learning content that I absolutely LOVE creating.

Until then, take good care of yourselves while I get used to this whole “marriage” thingy.

Sincerely, your favorite Sinhala blogger,

Dilshan

Son, Brother, Cocky Douchebag, and most recently, Husband :)

    Not totally unexpected, but wonderful news! You, Mr. Lazy, are a great letter writer, and it is exciting to feel included in your now quite extensive tribe. Thank you for the ‘Bollywoodesque’ photos.

    By the way, you did a nice job keeping your wife hidden until the last ‘reveal’. Mrs. Smart is truly beautiful. You are an amazing couple.

    I wish you both a long happy happy life together!

So: ALL THE BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR STUNNING WIFE!!!!

    P.S. I´m really happy you decided to put her in the pics as well, cause after having seen the first 20, 30 or 40 pictures (I didn´t coun´t :o)), I started thinking: Damn, what´s wrong with this guy??!! Is he maybe one of the utmost narcissistic characters, who has ever walked the earth, or what the heck is he thinking, that he only displays his own person here on all the pics. I mean, your quite handsome, if I might say so, my friend, but: it´s a wedding not a one-man-show!

    And how relieved was I, when at the end I read, that you apparently had it planned that way all along, when you wrote, you had forgotten something…

    cool move, Dude! Almost had me there! ;o)

    So now, my opinion of you as being a “cool and swag Sri Lankan elite Dude” is still standing. Thank you for that and : ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FUTURE LIFE AS A HUBBIE!!!

    I keep my fingers crossed for you guys, that happiness will always be your life´s closest companion.

    Warmest greetings from Germany
    Sacha

      Haha, one of the more entertaining comments I’ve got for this post, thank you. I have been called a narcissist before but I’m not *that* bad to put only my photos for a wedding post, haha. Thank you for the kind wishes too. Sincerely, “Cool and swag Sri Lankan elite Dude”.

        You´re welcome, my unknown friend and Ayubowan, Cassled (which is shortform for “Cool and swag Sri Lankan elite Dude”, as you might have figured yourself ;o))!
        Thanks for appreciating my reply!
        Your wedding pics really belong to the most amazing things in regard to wedding parties, which have ever crossed my eyes. So, don´t you worry, when somebody calls you a narcissist, cause with your personality, your refreshing humor, your apparent good character (how else should you have managed to convince a beauty like the one you are hnored to call your wedded wife now, to fall for you?) and last not least your personal wealth who wouldn´t become a little narcissistic?! I definitely would, if I were you. :o)

    I’ve just gotten started on this course to try and impress the girlfriend who moved from SL to England, and I can’t believe how easy it is (the learning, that is), and how generous you are! Have you considered creating a duolingo course too, maybe? Either way, congratulations, and I wish you all the best in your marriage! Happy holidays, and many happy returns!

    Congrats. I wish you so many happy years to come. I couldnt but wonder does she speak Sinhala? I started watching your videos a year ago in my attempt to learn Sinhala and It did help me a bit but then I stopped. My Sri lankian husband, my work place which I quit recently, all speak English so It was impossible to develop the language. I really want to learn and have the motive but my busy day and furstration lead me to give up soon. I face difficulties with pronunciation. There is no online dictionary for proper pronunciation. I know a lot of vocabularies and can understand a bit when people talk. But I cant respond to them. I face mockey from others first few times I tried to speak it and this what put me down. I get get over v turn to w!!! And the long words. And I cant differenciate between kema and kewada? or something. Food and did u eat? I think. Too much *k* ruined it for me. Other reason is Im not planning to stay in Sri lanka in future so people dont encourage me to learn it but I wanna do it for my in laws. They dont speak English. I wanna interact with them. I want my kids in future to speak it and speak my native language.
