Dylan, Aria, Sunita, and Anil all attend Hayleigh and Todd's engagement party together. There they meet up with family and friends, share a bit of banter, hear speeches from the parents of the bride and groom, and participate in a ballroom dance lesson. It's not quite Étoile standards but we try. Will the aftermath of meeting the parents go well for these two lovebirds? Or are they destine to be star-crossed lovers forever, like Romeo and Juliet, Jack and Rose, Devdas and Paro, Michael Scott and Jan Levinson? Or could this be another step towards a Disney-style happily ever after?Gilmore Girls meets Crazy Rich Asians in this rom-com, family dramady.Check out our Instagram for a throwback millennial playlist, featuring songs from bollywood and hollywood, threaded throughout that, like champagne, pairs nicely with our story so far.Find the show @NDTYMPod on Instagram.Find Leela @LeelaDua on Instagram.#NDTYM #NDTYMPod #NoDatingTillYoureMarried #audiobook #podcastDon't forget to subscribe and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.Website: https://shows.acast.com/no-dating-till-youre-marriedMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/tyler-edwards/dont-rush-me Hosted on Acast.

Chapter 33: We Don't Discuss Business at the Table
Dylan encourages Aria to reach out to her parents. But when she doesn't he calls them himself. Sunita invites the pair for a sit down to smooth things over. Dylan and Aria agree to have tea with the parents and, in the words of the punk pop princess herself, Avirl Lavigne, "Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?" Everyone knows we don't discuss business at the table, so things can only get more confusing from here.

Chapter 32: The Aftermath
The aftermath of the dinner. Yeah, that one! Where Dylan met the parents and, although it seemed to go well, Dylan was on his best, most charming behavior, all set and dressed to impress, it somehow turned into a disaster. Which, let's be honest, can often be the case in a traditional desi household. Introducing the boyfriend does not come without risk. So, now Aria is upset and Dylan is looking for her. What will happen next?

Chapter 31: Meet the Indian Parents
Awkward! It's time for the Kohli parents to acknowledge that their daughter is dating. A boy. A gora, American boy. Without their blessing, consent, permission or intervention. So it's time for them to intervene. Sunita and Anil invite Dylan for dinner to get to know him and judge the relationship he has with their daughter to determine if he's good enough to be a potential Kohli son-in-law. Doesn't matter that Aria is already dating him. Or that they've met him many times before in the capacity of friend of their daughter. It's cringy, it's uncomfortable, and it's happening. Join the Kohlis for dinner as they meet the boyfriend. A right of passage for every Indian girl, when it's finally time to let her two worlds collide. Friday night dinner at the Gilmores had nothing on this desi dating disaster.Gilmore Girls meets Crazy Rich Asians in this rom-com, family dramady.Check out our Instagram for a throwback millennial playlist, featuring songs from bollywood and hollywood, threaded throughout that, like mithai, pairs nicely with our story so far.Find the show @NDTYMPod on Instagram.Find Leela @LeelaDua on Instagram.#NDTYM #NDTYMPod #NoDatingTillYoureMarried #audiobook #podcastDon't forget to subscribe and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.Website: https://shows.acast.com/no-dating-till-youre-marriedMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/tyler-edwards/dont-rush-me Hosted on Acast.

Chapter 30: No Boys Allowed
For a culture that is so obsessed with getting their kids married, Indians are very averse to their children dating. So, in 1997, when Aria gets her first ever Valentine, she has to hide it from her mom and dad. And the secret double life of lies and deception begins, just so she can have a normal American school life. Then, 20 something years later, her parents want her to get married, after telling her not to date. Make it make sense. Thanks goodness she lied. Aria does have a boyfriend, and she's bringing him home to meet the parents. This can only end badly. So, naturally, Aria goes to her best friend's house for tea, or something stronger, to calm her nerves. Visit with Aria and Hayleigh in Chapter 30: No Boys Allowed, of No Dating Till You're Married, an audiobook podcast.

But when her mother gets sick and her best friend-with-benefits wants a real relationship, she must decide which piece of each culture will define her adulthood.Gilmore Girls meets Crazy Rich Asians.
