How did the relationship talks started and development of Relationship
Me and Abhinav initiated our relationship in FEBRUARY2022. It was the year 2022, when both our families were searching for a suitable match for their children. We met on Shaadi.com (Matrimonial site). My brother created a profile on Matrimonial site. After having a match of both profiles, Abhinav initiated the chat and my brother found him suitable for me. Afterwards, we got a chance to have a conversation where we exchanged our phone numbers. So we started talking, video calling on whatsapp and got to know various similarities among us. It was an instant connection. I found him funny, understanding and outgoing just like me so we proceed further.
We finally met for the first time along with our families at GK International in Sec 35 Chandigarh. We were nervous and shy at first, so to break the ice I started the conversation. After a while, everyone had a good time and we realized that we both found our soul partner.
To decide further rituals and functions, our parents had a small get-together. 9th December, 2022 and 23rd February, 2023 date was fixed for Ring Ceremony and Marriage respectively. We were so excited and planning functions like a fairy tale. I was surprised and felt overwhelmed when he gave me surprise by landing early to India on November 9, 2022. Then I welcomed him with a bouquet as he reached Chandigarh to meet me and my family. He got presents for both the families. It was a beautiful gesture for both of us that we shared.
