One of the consultants from Shaadi,com shared my number with Pranesh's dad and thus started our story. As it happens, Pranesh had just moved to Seattle and I was also moving there after two months. We texted each other for two months and met as soon as I moved to Seattle. It was an instant connection between us. Conversations were effortless and we enjoyed spending time with each other. Our families were also very similar which made it easy for us to take this relationship to marriage in spite of the fact that we are from different states and speak different language. Fast forward 11 months, we are a happily married couple.
