We spoke a little every day and, without even realizing it, little by little, we fell in love. I began to feel something I had never felt before. When you decided to come see me in Milan for the first time, I understood what I truly felt. I had never seen anyone the way I saw you that day. You came alone, brave, believing in me, crossing distances and fears for us. That day changed everything. I left my doubts behind, I left the past behind… and I chose to love you with certainty. From the very beginning, I told you that I would marry you. I said it with confidence, because in my heart I already knew. But you didn’t believe me. Maybe you thought it was just emotion… but for me, it was a promise. I spoke with my family. I told them who you were. I told them about your kindness, your values, and the Venezuelan culture you carry in your heart. I told them that I didn’t just fall in love with a woman, but also with her joy, her strength, and her radiant way of loving. At first, it wasn’t easy. My mother had doubts; she didn’t understand everything… but little by little, she began to know you through my words. And they started to feel that you were already part of us. I also told my friends. They were surprised. “You? Talking to a foreign girl? You’re too shy for that…” And I answered: “With her, it’s different. With her, I can speak. With her, my heart is understood.” And they were happy for me. Because when a man truly loves, everyone can see it. I was raised with our traditions, with respect for family and faith. You come from Venezuela, a land of joy, music, and light. And our love is the union of two cultures, two worlds that now embrace each other. My family looks forward with excitement to welcoming yours to India. The doors of our home are open. We want them to feel at home. We want to celebrate together, to share our traditions, and to honor yours as well. Because this union is not only between two people… it is between two families. Today I can say it with the same certainty as the first day: We will marry for a lifetime. Did I ever say it with doubt? This is not just a wedding. It is a commitment before our families, before our roots, and before Waheguru. “Waheguru ji di kirpa naal, asiṅ do jism ikk rooh ban rahe hāṅ.” (By the grace of Waheguru, two bodies become one soul.) Friends and family, we invite you to share with us this sacred moment, where Punjab and Venezuela unite, where two cultures embrace, and where our life together begins. I love you, Ana Karina. And I promise to honor this love for the rest of my life.
