How They Met
“Varnit and I first met in a typical arranged marriage set up. However, our parents did give us ample time to get to know each other. For three months, we kept in touch, and a strong friendship developed between us. Soon, we both realized that we were made for each other and decided to take the plunge. On our wedding day, Varnit very sweetly wrote a heartwarming letter to me which he left in my room. And as I read it before leaving my room, I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down my face as I knew, that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him!”, shares, Shruti.

Advice for Couples
“Planning the wedding was extremely exhausting but also fulfilling. However, a week before the wedding, I ensured that I spent quality time with my family as the big day drew nearer. In my opinion, one should always take a step back a few days before the wedding to enjoy the process without sweating it out with the small details.” advises the happy bride.
