I found Hareez through a matrimony site. He messaged me first, but like usual proposals, I initially ignored it. Still, he kept checking in kindly, asking if I had spoken to my family. Eventually, I mentioned it to them — and they, too, took it casually at first. But when he asked again, I decided to get his details and asked my father to inquire. That’s when we discovered something unexpected — he was actually the son of my father’s childhood friend! That connection brought comfort and trust. We decided to meet, and he came all the way from Qatar. We saw each other for the first time on February 1st during the traditional girl-seeing function. Everything felt so natural and right. Soon after, our engagement was fixed for February 6th. Now, with hearts full of joy and excitement, our wedding is set for August 31st. From a random message to a meaningful bond — it’s been a beautiful journey so far.
