It was was a great experience and a big hearty "THANK YOU" - SHAADI.COM It all started in the month of Dec '07... i was browsing on google and wondering who would be my better half and how &when would we meet. Just then the idea of online partner search hit this brain of mine... the answer was "SHAADI.COM" Then I started browsing the available profiles and also updated mine. I did not pay and register, since i always believed that the one who has a genuine interest in me would register and take the conversation further. Luck favored me one fine day... A beautiful girl sent her interest on the 9th of Dec '07...Yes ! i knew she was serious about the subject "SHAADI" and so was I. We exchanged basic introduction, likes and dis-likes, hobbies, family values, and a lot more ... The curiosity built and we decided to meet. I went to her home town "MUMBAI" all the way from "BANGALORE". We met on 25th Dec'07 in Mumbai, exchanged this great idea of getting married, then i met her mother, sister and uncles. here her father was not willing to meet. first, her family did not accept to our proposal. I returned back to Bangalore but we were on continues contact via mobile. My family was very happy on hearing on the mischef i started which led to concrete decision. I also made dime a dozen visits to meet her and spend loads of time with her. It took us 5 months to make our families understand that we were serious about settling down in life; but we wanted both our families to agree to the same and we could have an arranged wedding. Yes ! Finally they agreed to get us married. Both the families sat across and we decided the wedding will happen on 26/06/2008 in Mumbai. The final wait was over, we got married , but then her father was not happy about our wedding. He came and attended the wedding on request and pressure from other relatives and friends. Now we have a sweet princess born on 10/04/2009, who will complete 2yrs on 10th of April this year. this also happens to be the late date of your receiving of the success stories contest. we now live in bangalore, a happy small family. "Marriages are made in Heaven, we only meet here" Thank you Shaadi.com. If not for you, we may not have met.....
