They say marriages are made in heaven but in our case Shaadi.com has been the anchor to bring us together in wedlock. Let us take you back in time to October ?08?just a couple of months back when we first exchanged interests on shaadi. Swapna: ?In hindsight, my heart skipped a beat when I first read Deepak?s profile. His first message to me, gave me the innate feeling of ?Yes?? this may be the one?. Deepak: I had registered in many other matrimonial sites, but it was at Shaadi.com that I got many proposals?and more important, it?s special because I found the love of my life. Of all profiles I browsed, Swapna?s profile was something different, and I felt that instant ?spark? in my heart. The entire bride & groom search process was a roller coaster with its ups and downs. Times of no responses from the other person, profile rejections, horoscope mismatches can get you in a complete low. But the variety & huge pool of profiles in shaadi made us hang in there all along and never give up hope. After a series of online chats where we hit it off so well from the word go, then came the D Day ? 24th October, the day when we first met in Mumbai. Swapna (Initial Reaction): Woahhh!!!He looked so much different in person. He proudly sported a weird hairdo with brown colored streaks that he got done in Los Angeles a few weeks back. I couldn?t stop myself but to take him to the nearby saloon to chop his hair off; since he was coming to meet my parents the next day. It was indeed an unusual start unheard off but Deepak took it to his stride and agreed;. Deepak (Initial Reaction): When I came out of the Mumbai airport, I saw this light eyed, beautiful girl waiting for me and I just fell for her. After that my heart took over my mind, and just stepped into the saloon. A quite candle night wine and dine in a fine Italian restaurant, got us one step closer. Drives across hot spots of Mumbai ? Bandra Bandstand, Worli Sea face, Cuff parade, Palm beach road were the add-ons. The wild card was indeed the yacht ride at Gateway of India where we finally bonded like ?Fevicol?;. From thereon ?Love was in the Air? and everything fell in place. Further dates in the Garden City of Bangalore, exchange of poetries and gifts, meeting of families, friends, the ceremonious exchange of rings on our engagement on 23rd Nov at Deepak?s hometown Bangalore. Marriage is scheduled on 13th Feb, eve of valentines day @ Mumbai. Swapna: I can?t be more thankful to Shaadi.com for bringing me to Deepak - the light of my life. I have been registered in so many matrimonial sites but what glued me to shaadi was the fact that it was transparent, vibrant and so young. You don?t often see parents post profiles like in other sites and be guarded about expressing about their sons. Deepak: I thank shaadi.com for finding my dream girl ?Swapna?. The huge collection of profiles, the easy to use website and astromatch were few things I really appreciate. We both are more than happy with the entire process and strongly recommend the website to family and friends. Thanks again to shaadi.com for giving us a new lease of life. Cheers, Deepak & Swapna
