An ‘accidental’ marriage
No I am not Strawberry Sisha :) But I found this one quite amusing.
'Local networking sites were, meanwhile, abuzz with the story yesterday with commentators describing it as the quickest Qatari marriage so far.'
So thought QL should also join in :)
-------------------------------------------
DOHA: Car crashes mostly end in bitter memories, but one such mishap here had a happy ending as a young Qatari man, whose four-wheeler was hit in the rear by a Qatari woman’s car, fell in love with her and the two decided to marry.
The accident took place on the February 22nd Road recently, and after the Qatari proposed to the woman, they got engaged and married quickly — within two days.
Both were busy talking on their mobile phones when the accident occurred, Al Sharq reported yesterday. The two got down from their cars in fury and began blaming each other.
A heated exchange followed as none would admit the mistake. Both of them, therefore, rushed to the traffic department in a huff.
When they reached the traffic department, the woman was pleasantly surprised that the man owned responsibility for the accident and said it happened as he was talking on the phone.
The duo came out together and the woman thanked the man profusely for his change of heart. They exchanged mobile phone numbers and the man called her the next morning and proposed. The woman accepted the proposal after her family agreed.
They decided to tie the knot the next day in a simple ceremony. The woman was quoted by Al Sharq as saying that she had an instant liking for the man as she found him to be gentlemanly and honest.
“I was impressed by the admission of his mistake and could not refuse when he called me the next day to propose,” she added.
Local networking sites were, meanwhile, abuzz with the story yesterday with commentators describing it as the quickest Qatari marriage so far.
One person said it is hard to believe the story is real. “Even if it is real it has been presented in a way that it sounds unreal,” he said. “Go to the February 22nd Road if you want to marry,” said another commentator in a lighter vein.
Another commentator said: “I met with an accident with a woman in the Industrial Area some time ago but the woman didn’t like me.”

...and they lived happily ever after?
i always believe on "easy to get, easy to forget"
its a matter of building relationship before tying the knot, eitherway, it will end up nothing. i hope it wouldn't.
happy ending indeed, a bump and a happy ending within two days remarkable..:)
nice story :) happy ending
Well if the guy knew it was his mistake then why could he not accept it in the first place before going to the police station. This guy must have been so excited out of his wits on seeing something that he had never seen before that he would now have even agreed to admit that he was the one driving both the vehicles. As time goes by and this marriage grows older there maybe more ladies whom this guy will propose to everytime they bang into his vehicle and he might make a winning habit of it.
no worries Draccy, i shall wear my 1460 BC boxer underwear and sit in front seat then ! :)
and if you have porche boxters then i too have Boxer underwears...huh !
Drac's lunch time :)
rizks, youu blind escalope, I am driving a Porsche Boxster!
No back seats! :P
.

PS: "escalope" are pieces of boneless meat which have been thinned out using a mallet, rolling pin or beaten with the handle of a knife..lol
What a sweet accident :D
So when Janet is arriving in Qatar?
I read the article and was suprized with the title 'accident'....i assumed that someone from the groom or the bride got swapped by mistake...the way they wrote 'accident'
Lmao Draccy !
Can i join you ?
i will sit in the back passenger seat to monitor which lady is about to Bump ! :)
Attention to all cute-rich-single-sexy-90/60/90-ladies here:
I am on February 22nd Street, today evening after sunset (app.20.00 pm)
Let's have a road traffic accident, girls! :)
Miss Mimi, how can two people get behind the wheel of the car at the same Time??.. O No Your not saying what I am thinking! But don't think that would be possible on February 22nd Street maybe in the desert some where??
but cute ;-)
Doha news saying they were not Qatari! O.o
I think this story is adorable. LOL. However I hope they don't decide to get behind the wheel of a car together!
a few more months and a bump will emerge.....
Women, they like men who easily plea guilty
hmmmmmm wish all love stories had a happy bumping ooops ending like this !!
And that's how I met my adopted pet Flora!
May be it is our vanity, our insatiable appetite, or general fallibility, we men seem to lose sight of reality in face of these humps and bumps.
I can not help reflecting how the man might have reacted had it been a Nepalese worker hitting the car. I have no doubt he would not have hesitated to see the man being hacked to pieces.
No one seems to talk of gender inequality, no matter how obvious, as long as the balance is tilted in favor of the tender one.
Marriage on a bump!
Well wishes for them. :)
Rofllll Khanan..that is so true :P
as Britexpat pointed out, we men are too quickly carried away by bumps, curves and tears. :)
The woman too should have admitted she was at fault equally.
Yes well if it works out alls well..if not they can always say "accidents happen" and move on =D
Ah yes, they seem to take a life long commitment very seriously....
He is an Indian
saeedkhn is back :)
Rizks grapes are sour my friend...deal with it :P
tashin .. my neighbor an asian man married to a Qatari women
if the guy was Smoke, she would have thrown the Malboro ciggy bud on ur face and walk away....:)
lolz smoke...
if she liked her she wud have accepted :P
No she would not...not unless the Asian guy was Smoke :P
Wat if the guy was an Asian and called the lady the next day and proposed ?
Will she accept the proposal ?
That's right bro...cos he's a local no deporting only jail time. But thankfully it was all mutual attraction so no criminal acts needed(let's just hope they stop using their phones while driving though!)
How would you deport a Qatari? Yes if she had to complain he would have been warned or perhaps if it was out of hand maybe even jailed. But it was not unlike the other case.
My point exactly..
The girl agreed cos she liked the guy. She gave him her number, he called her, she accepted his proposal, all this was mutual. That's not stalking and harassment.
In the other story the girl didn't like him and instead of respecting her wishes he kept harassing her and following her..this is a crime.
tahsinmim, from which angle does this look like stalking to you? Do you know the meaning of stalking? The two cases are completely different.
There was a mutual liking for each other here and so it happened...end of story.
New generation Qataris are open-minded nowadays. It's probably the influence of western style drama and love story films.
tahsinmim are u a fan of "shakti kapoor"
True that! Men I tell ya...
Once again the power of the female is brought to bear and teh poor guy admits a mistake he did not make :O(
And hope the baby is not brought up to believing that driving while talking on the phone is not only cool but can also bring on potential marriage proposals!
Sharrap you " baby monkey on QL"
after accident new sticker "baby on board"
Making a new bumper sticker... " Let's get MaRRieD bY aCCidenT "
yea hope this marriage lasts until either of them get their cars bumped by someone else....:)
A cute,romantic story....totally filmy...Hope this marriage lasts...
they do reported the QUICKEST ACCIDENTAL MAARIAGE but forgot to mention the QUICKEST breakup from their respective bf/gf ..... with whom thy were talking on phone......
nice story we can have next movie on it
yippe this means i need to bump in someone's car or a small crash like britexpat at ramada parking ;o)
Un-expectedly Amazing... I bet from now on dat street wud be jam packed ;-)
accidental bumps into each other in PM, then Social Gatherings and then dates and then the wedding bells or relationships.....'story of our QL accidents'.
Painther..anothe analytical post :)
This should be such a romantic story, and I should be getting teary eyed, but I just can't get passed this bit "Both were busy talking on their mobile phones when the accident occurred, Al Sharq reported yesterday" So were these two love birds also fined duly? And I sure hope they were both properly chastised for their obviously irresponsible and dangerous driving habits!
amazing
• Accident
• BBM & Calls
• Proposal
• Marriage
• ???
Ukeng i think she bumped him from behind and he liked it :P
Cool,
Lesson learned :
1.Never argue after an accident (you may be paying price entire life :P
2.Never accept, post an accident, even if it’s your fault or share phone numbers, you may be tied, for life, with knots, Lols :P
3.Avoid Feb-22 Road for sometime, Oflate there’s too much rush; bachelors, singles, wannabe couples taking umpteen rounds there :)

4.Khanan is not strawberry shisha, :P
My car has been secretly bumped into from one side...you think i have a pretty stalker?
So sweet..:) He bumped her from the back..:) and she liked it..:)
Or maybe coe his chessis is damaged after so many accidents ... LOL :p
You can "discover" each other as you go along. I remember the time my Cuban Shotputter "bumped" into me at the ben Johnson memorial Athletics Meet. We just stared at each other and we knew ...
He always bumped onto pathan ..LOLS
Coz he's bald and fugly :(
Smoke ... I don't believe that.. Now u tell me how many times Rizks have been bumped??? How come he's still single???
Lmao that's cute xD
Thats love at first Bump!
AV, its called 'love at first sight'....:)
Strange..How can they marry without knowing anything about each other?
Sorry... I'm busy right now, just 'hitting on' girls on feb 22nd road.. Catch ya guys later !!!
I refuse to believe this since it was not in Doha News...
Ofcourse this sets a precedence now. This morning i witnessed three cases of ladies crashing into good looking men and starting arguments.
Where will it end ?
my 4wheel was hit frm rear, but unfortunately it was a male - a Pathaan Male...:(
He grabbed me and hugged tightly and threatned to give him my contact number orelse will hit my rear....:(
Nice story :)
too,
A beautiful QLer was rea-ended purposely to ger her contact, but it was not a happy ending for the poor lover/stalker. :)
Pretty interesting,,,
WOW! Thats a nice story...i feel sorry for the guy...some years down the road he will look back and say...I'm still paying the price for that rear dent :(
