Sismon & Tincy's story
Hi, I’m Tincy! We’re getting married on May 8th in Kottayam, Kerala. I found my love through Chaitanya Matrimony. His siblings sent me an interest request, and after I accepted it, my partner reached out to me via phone. Over the past 10 months, we’ve gotten to know each other and shared our love, growing closer every day. After this long wait, we’re both thrilled to finally meet in person and share our care and excitement. Our love story began with a beautiful connection on September 27th, 2024, and it truly felt like love at first sight.
Finally, on October 16th, 2024, both our families came together and shook hands to strengthen our bond. They decided to formalize our relationship with an engagement ceremony on May 4th and our wedding on May 8th 2025.
We kindly request your presence at our wedding. It will be a wonderful opportunity to explore and experience the traditions and cultures of a Christian Knanaya wedding. Your presence will make our celebration even more special!
