 ha ha ...
You are introducing third category: Arranged Love Marriage.
On a side note, for your information many lovers from Bollywood movies ran away to Goa (e.g. Bobby, Ek Duje ke...etc)

Arranged marraige - first the marraige is arranged and then they may or may not fall in love.
Love Marraige - invariably things are never going to get arranged for the rest of your life

Slightly out of context here or maynot be....
Recd a sms today:
Sardar bought a car on loan....He didn't pay the dues so the bank too away his car.
Sardar: "If I knew this I'd have taken loan for my marriage also"

After effects of marriage:
A woman had been caught shoplifting in a supermarket and had to appear in court, taking along her long-suffering husband for marital support.
The prosecution proved that the theft had taken place so the judge told her that, considering her record, he was forced to impose a jail term.
"This time you stole a can of tomatoes. There were six tomatoes in the can. Do you agree?"
The woman agreed.
"Then I sentence you to six nights in jail."
The husband jumped to his feet, addressing the judge, "Your honor, may I approach the bench?"
"Well," said his honor, "this is somewhat unusual but I will make an exception in this case. You may approach the bench."
The husband wasted no time getting there and, leaning forward, he said in a low voice, "She also stole a can of peas."

A marriage is a very expensive place to find out who you are.
Once the love settles down and the passion fades, the two members in a marriage are left with the stark reality of knowing that the person on the same bed is someone they need to live with for the rest of their lives.
The way the toothbrush is placed in the bathroom, the strands of hair in the sink, the partner’s attitude towards money, towards children, towards in-laws: all these factors are more important to long term survivability of a marriage than what was said on Saint Valentine’s Day.
And when the drift begins it can be painful.
Not only in the monetary sense: there is a huge emotional cost, particularly if there are children.
A marriage can be rewarding event, but – if you are not careful - it can also be a very painful experience.
Investing in stock markets is also a very expensive way to find out who you really are and what you really want in life.
Just like the two lovers who get wrapped in a passion trap, an investor tends to experience his first passion for stock markets at some party.
Friends will tell him what a great lady the market is: she gives freely and expects nothing in return. Stories of honey-laced returns and sweet happiness will glaze the mind and cloud the ability for better judgement.
Try it, they urge, you will never regret it.
A passion is kindled. The love affair begins.
And, yes, the sweet honey flows in: whatever one invests in, soon shoots up in price. More money is invested. More money is put to work, with a view to getting more returns. Success breeds success.
Greed overpowers the fear of the unknown.
The passionate love affair turns into a marriage.
And then the reality sets in. The expectations, set at unrealistically high levels, are no longer matched.
The daily ringing of the love register is no longer a guaranteed event.
More money and time needs to be invested for less satisfying outcomes.
And then there are the jarring days. The TV anchors begin to talk hysterically about “rumours” and “global cues”.
Your love, you realise, has no loyalty to you. Her mind is swayed by so many people, so many events – what steadiness can there be from such a partner?
On some days she slaps you: the markets fall 10% for no reason.
Your broker calls – there are unpaid bills, margin calls.
Your work colleagues notice that you have been overwhelmed by some mysterious spirit and can no longer function at work. The downward spiral is about to begin.
A stock market is a very expensive place to make mistakes.
Greed can harm you; passion will cloud your judgement.
But love does exist. There are marriages that work.
And these are built on sitting down and talking about what one wants in life – together. There is a give and take.
There is a constant need for a dialogue, to see where you are and has there been any drift? Can the disappointments be worked out - over time?
Investing, like marriage, is not rolling the dice on some instinct or some dinner party conversation. Solid investing - and solid marriages - requires some clear goals, some realistic expectations.
If you keep that in mind – you will live to see the joy of your children playing with their toys knowing that they have a secure home to live in. A home where they will be given roots so one day they, too, can spread their wings.

Diary Of a Young Wife
Monday:
Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home.
It's fun to cook for Tim. Today I made an angel food cake and the recipe
said, "beat 12 eggs separately." Well, I didn't have enough bowls to do
that, so I had to borrow 12 bowls to beat the eggs in. The cake turned out
fine though.
Tuesday:
We wanted a fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, "serve without
dressing." So I didn't dress. But Tim happened to bring a friend home for
supper that night. They both looked so startled when I served them, I think
it was the salad.
Wednesday:
I decided to serve rice and found a recipe which said, "wash thoroughly
before steaming the rice." So I heated some water and took a bath before
steaming the rice. Sounded kinda silly in the middle of the day. I can't say
it improved the rice anyhow.
Thursday:
Today Tim asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe.
It said, prepare ingredients,
then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving." I hunted all over
the place for a garden and when I got one, I tossed my salad into the bed of
lettuce and stood over there for over one hour so the dog would not take it.
Tim came over and asked if I felt all right.I wonder why? He must be
stressed at work, I'll try to be supportive.
Friday:
Today I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, "put all ingredients in a
bowl and beat it." Beat it I did,to my mum's place. There must have been
something wrong with the recipe, because when I came back home again, it
looked the same as when I left it.
Saturday:
Tim went shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it
for Sunday. I'm sure I don't know how hens dress for Sunday. I never noticed
back on the farm, but I found an old doll dress and it's little cute shoes.
I thought the hen looked really cute. When Tim saw it, he started counting
to ten. Either he was really
stressed because of his work, or he wanted the chicken to dance.
When I asked him what was wrong he started crying and shouting out "why me?
why me ?"
Hmmm....It must be his job (or Mr. Market!)
