The world is so unpredictable and sometimes good things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. My journey from single to getting ready to mingle is not an exception. I am born and brought up in Ahmedabad. I come from a liberal, open-minded, urban family. But most of the families in contact with my parents from my community are traditional-cultured and mostly from Northern part of India -- which I thought would not be an ideal match for me. That's why I decided to find the right partner of my choice my own. And I created an account on Shaadi.com. Being a Software Engineer and an author, I know how to write a good profile and use the matrimonial site effectively for the maximum benefit. Initially I was not as hopeful, but gradually I came across many profiles those matched my partner preference. I talked with many girls through this medium but since I boast myself to be a perfectionist, I don't compromise in quality. One day I received a message from Sonam. I saw her profile and found that she is the kind of girl I like -- modern, open-minded and beautiful, ofcourse. We exchanged our contact details and talked with each other for about two weeks over phone and WhatsApp. And I started feeling positive for her. Then after approximately a month since we talked for the first time, we met! And after lots of conversations, meetings and cups of coffee; when we got satisfied and became sure that we would be a perfect couple, we decided to take the next step. Now we are engaged and soon we will get married! Mine and Sonam's family are very happy and excited for this marriage. From me and Sonam, thanks a lot Shaadi.com for connecting our dots! Special Note: The best thing about Shaadi.com is the genuinity of the profiles herein and their great customer-friendly support staff. They don't just want you to purchase memberships, they want you to get married -- that's their first priority.
