The first day I saw her picture, I was someone who had never thought about getting married anytime soon, and she had never thought about marriage at all. My mom showed me her photo, and I was instantly struck—“Wow, she’s beautiful.” Funny enough, when she saw my picture, she thought, “He’s okay for me.” As per Indian culture, we met at her house. The moment I saw her, there was something special—something that made it hard to take my eyes off her. Soon after, we secretly started meeting at her college, which surprisingly was the same place I had studied in during my second year. We felt like our paths had crossed before without noticing. We even discovered we had common family friends. Until I returned to Dubai, we met every single day, getting to know and love each other more. And now, the wait is over—we’re getting married.
