Jab We Met: 'We exchanged numbers'

Last updated on: February 07, 2016 10:33 IST

We'd asked you, dear readers to share your love stories with us.

Swati tells us how she met Vivek and fell in love.

Vivek and Swati with their daughter

It all happened around eight years ago when we met at my parent's place.

In the presence of all family members from both the sides, we exchanged glances.

A few minutes of chitchat session was allowed, that too, in the presence of all cousins of various age and sizes. But we took advantage of the brief meeting and quickly exchanged our mobile numbers.

Soon, the gentle hi-hellos changed to hours of cozy conversations.

We were determined to get married because both of us almost shared the same outlook towards life.

Over the phone, we had planned our marriage, but in reality, nothing much was happening on the family front.

I was completing my graduation at that time, so things were not taken seriously by the family.

In fact, it seemed as if everyone has simply forgotten about it.

My brother, who was a few years older to me was due to get married and my family got busy in the preparations.

During my brother's wedding ceremony, I received a marriage proposal.

We realised that if both of us did not speak to our respective families now, it would be too late.

We teamed up with my brother and approached our parents.

We were all a little scared and apprehensive about their reaction.

But to our surprise, both sets of parents agreed to it instantly.

We realised that we had already covered a year long journey with each other and were delighted to exchange vows for the life.

Seven years later, we are happy that we took the right decision.
