I got married at Gordon’s wedding hall, there were a few friends of mine and quite a few friends and relatives of my new wife, most had crammed into a minibus for their 40km each way journey, I paid out for a good wedding paying for dress hire, jewellery hire etc, and loads of food and drinks, I even paid the hire charge for the mini bus. As the day was coming to an end I set off to my house and my wife followed in the minibus as the family and friends expect to see the “brides new home”. when I unlocked the family swarmed in and rampaged through the rooms looking into everything opening drawers and wardrobe doors, turning on switches and taps, there was shaving foam all around the bathroom (surly they knew about aerosols) and inevitably things went missing, mostly minor items as I suppose there was no room in the minibus for the TV, I was told that one uncle had got a pack of frozen sausages in his trouser pocket, I was pissed off to say the least but said he’d better keep them then.
I think this is a good example of how many Sri Lankan’s behave, not everyone stole from the house but all had had a good party and free transport and ultimately some were only interested in stealing any thing they could,
The uncle who stole the sausages is upset with my wife because I (the rich Englishman) have not given his poor family any money, he is not aware of my circumstances and that all has been stolen from me but even if I had money he has lost his chance of a little handout.
