Sharon & Soumya's story
Our Story – By God’s Grace
Our journey began through Chavara Matrimony during a time when I was working abroad and had returned home on vacation. Though I searched, nothing seemed right at first. On the last day of my vacation, an unexpected accident led to hospital admission and two months of bed rest. What felt like a delay was truly God’s plan.
During that time, I came across Soumya’s profile, and our hearts felt peace. With God’s guidance, our families connected, and we met soon after. In our first conversation, we felt a gentle assurance that this meeting was divinely arranged.
Through prayer and faith, both families came together and confirmed our wedding. God also blessed us with time to grow in understanding and love.

Engagement
A Kerala-style Christian engagement is a joyful celebration of love and family. It starts in the church with the ring exchange and blessings from the priest and elders. After the ceremony, everyone moves to the church hall for cake cutting, photos, and fun celebrations like games, dancing, singing and DJ. It’s a perfect mix of faith, family, and festivity.

Wedding
The Roman Catholic wedding ceremony is a beautiful and sacred celebration where faith, love, and family come together. Guests witness centuries-old traditions, from the priest’s blessings to the tying of the “thali”(mangalsutra)around the bride's neck, the adorning of the manthrakodi (wedding saree) symbolising the couple’s lifelong commitment. Traditional prayers, hymns, and scripture readings fill the church, creating a deeply spiritual and memorable atmosphere. Following the ceremony, the reception is a joyful celebration where family and friends come together to share in music, dancing, and a festive feast. Every moment is designed to honour Roman Catholic culture while offering warmth, laughter, and togetherness. Attending the wedding and reception is more than witnessing a union—it’s an invitation to be part of cherished memories, celebrate love, and join two families in marking the beginning of a lifetime of happiness and faith-filled joy.
