It was an arranged marriage with a modern twist. The groom’s father, browsing through profiles at a marriage broker’s office, paused at a particular photo. Something about the girl’s confident smile caught his attention. A few phone calls later, the families were in conversation. Meanwhile, the bride and groom, both young professionals navigating the fast-paced life of Bangalore, were given a chance to meet before any formal decisions. They chose a cozy spot—Third Wave Coffee, a place buzzing with the aroma of fresh brews and quiet conversations. As they sipped their cappuccinos, laughter came easy, and the usual awkwardness of arranged meetings melted away. The more they talked, the more they realized—they weren’t just agreeing to a proposal; they were choosing an adventure together. By the time their cups were empty, their decision was full. "Let’s do this," they said, smiling. And just like that, over coffee, a lifetime began.
