They say love finds you when you least expect it - and in our case, it found us on a matrimony website - not exactly the way fairy tales begin, but looking back, it feels like the perfect beginning to ours. We were two hearts in two different worlds, living thousands of miles apart, yet holding onto the same hope: “Lord, if it's Your will, lead me to the one You’ve chosen for me.” We connected online, casually at first - just a few messages back and forth, unsure if this was something real or just another fleeting moment. But God was already doing something far more beautiful in the background. Neither of us were searching for someone perfect - we were searching for someone real, someone faithful, someone whose heart was already held by God. From the very first conversation, there was quiet joy, a peace we couldn’t explain. As we talked, laughed, and shared our dreams, we realized something beautiful was happening. "When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen." -Isaiah 60:22 FIRST MEET Our first real meeting happened in a moment that now feels like a scene from a movie: on Sanya’s way back from India to the United States after a vacation. Between airports, emotions, and time zones, our paths crossed face-to-face for the very first time. It wasn’t grand. But it was unforgettable. There was something in our eyes, we both felt - warmth, calm, a spark that made us feel... safe. Like home. We talked, we smiled, and deep down, something whispered, “This is different.” Love didn’t rush in like a storm. It came gently, like a sunrise - soft, steady, and full of promise. We found in each other not only a partner, but a safe place. A home for our hearts. We saw each other’s flaws and fears and chose love anyway. Because that’s what God does - He teaches us to love like He loves. We didn’t just fall in love - we grew in love. With patience. With purpose. With prayer. "Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up." -Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 TO FOREVER Today, we look back and smile - not because it was perfect, but because it was “OURS”, crafted with care by the One who knows our hearts best. What started as a chance connection became the most certain decision of our lives. And now, we’re walking into forever, hand in hand, hearts full of gratitude, knowing that this love - our love - isn’t just ours. It’s a reflection of God’s faithfulness. "Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate." -Mark 10:9
