It was the month of sep 2003, that I heard frm my friend about shaadi.com. Wasnt to sure of the whole new concept of finding your partner over the Internet. But it was definitly worth a try. So I enroled myself with one of the easy options and to my surprise I started getting prompt responses within the parameters that I had put forward to shaadi.com. Within course of time I narrowd my search to a few applicants one which was to be my future wife. Never really had the slightest inclination of what was in store for me. Her name is sonal, who works as a lecturer at the University of Auckalnd, New Zealand and myself ameya working as a chef at Hilton Group of Hotels, UK. Two different corners of the world. After a while we started chatting to know each other. Then we moved on to calling each other. During the first few months of our interaction it was all about knowing each others likes/dislikes/hobbies..etc. as time passed by we felt like we have known each other for years. One meeting was very important to us because all this while the only means for us to communicate was the internet or the telecom. In this way we got involved in each other as if we know each other for ages. Finally we decieded to meet up in thailand/bangkok which was in the month of July 2004. It was going to be quite intresting to physically meet who I had decieded would be my life partner after nine months of interaction through the net. The pressure was mounting on her side, she was being too skeptical and extremely cautious about this move. She was highly insecure, a lot of questions running on her mind and to be honest she made my life hell..... nah just joking. For me I knew what I had in mind and what would be the outcome of this wonderful relationship we shared full of love, trust and respect for each other. It was worth capturing the first expression on her face when we first met in bangkok. Well things went fine after that and we decieded to tie the knot soon. We disclosed the news to our parents so that all the other wedding formalities and arrangements could be made. So eventually on the 24th of November, 2004 we officially became Husband and Wife. Both of us are very happy to be togther and we would like to take this opportunity to thank shaadi.com to provide us with a platform and start a new life together. Well as of now I am back in UK and she is back in New Zealand, from where we started, as she needs to take New Zealand residency before she flies to her beloved husband in UK. A few months of seperation, it has now revound those days back when we met through shaadi.com and how we interacted with each other through mails and phone.

Thanks to Shaadi.com in less than one year we both found our loving life partner and true love. We were married on October 2,2004 in a religious ceremony with equally happy family and friends sharing our love and happiness. East and West have met in a true love match. Thank you Shaadi for providing a safe site for singles to meet.

I ( montacs) mailed him(jay4707) and he said oops! out on vacation maybe later eh? I decided he`s with an inflated ego and forgot all bout him, 7 mnths down the line he mails me back again forgetting that we had exchanged one liners in past. The ball`s in my court again and I decide to mail back some ``not interested`` excuse to him... A woman scorned and all that.... But then destiny intervenes: spell error in mail address and the negative messages never reach him. He persists with his contact messages ,his claw grip gets to me and I decide to see what ticks this guy...right mail on right address ,first mail,second mail,third mail- and boy o boy we were hooked . It was wonderful to discover that he was made up of all the right stuff I always desired .Great compassion and sensitivity.Daily mails and long chats I mean real longgg chats convinced us it was too good to let go .Within a month he proposed (in feb 04) via net ofcourse since distances between countries were far and long ,yeah Juliet in me accepted and lo ! by April 04 he was here my knight and we were wedded in same month.And as all knights do he swept me away; in an airplane ofcourse and now we are safely esconed in our love cocoon... THANKS ! Shaadi.com for making fairy tales a reality.


I saw the profile of Catherine, a few days after I registered on this site and I was impressed by her profile. Mails and and phone calls were exchanged within no time, as we both were interested with each other. We got married within two months on 24th October, 2004 and we are very much grateful to this wonderful site for bringing us together !!!!
