‘ When a pleasant arranged meeting turned into a sweet marriage story’

“But true love is a durable fire, In the mind ever burning; Never sick, never old, never dead, From itself never turning.” -Sir Walter Ralegh

The Story

Stuti and Mrinal were introduced to each other by their families and developed a liking for each other almost instantly. Soon technology played cupid too and they found themselves glued to the phone, conversing, sharing and laughing for hours on end. A couple of brief meetings and pleasant dates proved to be the icing on the cake for this couple who had by now started falling for each other. The sweet culmination of all of this convinced them that they had found a true soulmate in each other!

The Proposal

Mrinal ditched the quintessential proposal and rather asked his lady love to marry him in a fun way! As the families met one day, Mrinal asked Stuti to step aside with him and asked her if she could bear with him for the rest of her life! Though taken by surprise, Mrinal couldn’t find one reason to say yes to him as there were just so many. After her nod, the couple returned and announced to their families that they were all set to tie the knot! The room was full of joy and excitement and with the blessings of their loved ones were geared up to take the next big step.

Mrinal too kept it vibrant and complimented his lady love in a maroon jacket and paired it with a yellow floral jacket. It was a day marked with unforgettable fun and unparalleled memories.
