One day, my parents went to meet a family elder. During their visit, he proposed a match for me, describing the girl as a God-fearing person. Intrigued by his recommendation, my parents brought the proposal to me. Although I wasn't initially ready for marriage, my parents convinced me to at least have a chat with her. That's how it all began—with a video call that would change our lives forever.

Officially, I travelled to Kerala to meet her. The first look we exchanged answered all the questions about our future. We didn’t actually talk much during that meeting; instead, we just laughed together. That shared laughter has now brought us to our wedding days.
