Mihir & Dharti
Thank You Shaadi Team for making this site efficient and easy to use. It's a wonderful portal and full of surprises! Many of our cousins and friends have found their significant other on Shaadi and I have also been a member for some time. Mihir & I both had a on/off relationship with Shaadi.com. We both confessed that when he first messaged me, we both had series of disappointments with our search. We had both decided to take a break from "looking". One late evening, I checked my email and read a message from from Mihir. Little did I know that THIS was MY Shaadi surprise! His profile peeked my interest and we started emailing each other from that day on. We finally met and started dating. As time went by, both came to realize that we shared the same values, goals and vision on how we wanted to live our lives. The more time we spent together, the more I knew that he was the One for me. After that, we introduced ourselves to the parents and started to spend time together with our friends & family. In July we got engaged & in June we are getting married! Thank You Shaadi.com for helping us find each other! I wish everyone the best of luck on their search and never give up!!
Samir & Shruti
Shruti contacted me when she saw that I was born in Zambia in my Shaadi profile. We were both born and brought up in Africa, and were never quite able to connect with others we met because we had different outlooks on life, so Shruti thought of searching for other African desis, and luckily for me she chose my profile to reply to :) Once we started chatting, first on Shaadi, then by email and phone, we realized we had a lot in common and had similar interests, both like outdoor activities and good food, both are the youngest in our families, and both left home to study abroad at a young age. Once we met we both fell for each other, and I knew I had met the love of my life. 5 months after we met, Shruti was going to Delhi for a family get together, and by chance, my company sent me to India at the same time. That\'s when I met her family, and we had our engagement, and 8 months later we got married in Delhi. Since then, we have settled in California, and have never been happier. Thank you Shaadi, for giving us a way to meet! :)

Vinoj & Anisha
*note- the following is taken from our wedding website* Inevitably, the question that any couple hears most often is, \"So how\'d you guys meet?\" And usually the answer takes the form of either a mutual friend, a common place such as work or an event, or maybe even family. Our story has a slightly different tilt: We met on Shaadi.com. The most common response to this is usually, \"NO [insert adjective] WAY.\" To be fair, with the way that so many different factors worked out, it certainly wouldseem that this isn't something as random as meeting someone on a website. We just call it a blessing. Her story Like many girls, I was strongly opposed to anything related with Shaadi.com.? Mummy on the other hand, would check the site everyday encouraging me to find somebody. I kept saying "Mummy, it's so stupid, I am NOT going to go on Shaadi.com"? Finally, after days of persuading me, Mummy finally succeeded.? I decided to check out what was out there. My first time on Shaadi, I wanted to make sure to protect my identity.? I decided to be slick, ?going under my mom's username, Shyla2008. ?As? I was scrolling through the different profiles, "Lame, lame, SUPER lame," was all I kept muttering to myself.? I knew this was going to be a waste of my time.? Then, out of the corner of my eye, I glimpsed a profile for KalElVZ. My first reaction? "Whoa he's cuutteee!"? I continued to read the profile and About me, cracking up and thinking, "Wow this guy seems really cool." But instead of attempting to contact him, I thought, "Nah. He's not gonna be interested. Let it go." And so I did, but that profile stayed in the back of my mind. A year passed, and yet again I found myself looking at Shaadi.com. To my surprise, who do I see come up on the listings?? That\'s right. KalElVZ.? I don\'t know what came across me that day, but for the first time in my life I expressed interest and messaged a guy.?? Two days later, I received a message in my inbox from KalElVZ, whose name was finally revealed as Vinoj. In his first email to me, Vinoj mentioned he was going on a business trip that weekend, and he would write me when he got back.? I knew of course, that this was code for, "Not interested."? In fact, a couple of days later, Mummy asked about Vinoj and I replied blankly, "Oh...he's gone.\"? To my surprise, Vinoj did actually email me back.? Later I found out that this was him, "trying to play the game." [Vinoj's note: Come on?.. everybody does it! ]We emailed each other for a week, followed by instant messaging, phone calls, and then the most frightening part: videochat. After some initial hesitation on iChat (we\'re also Mac lovers), ?we couldn't believe how much we had in common: We were born in the same country, have the same breed of dog, love food, and the insane amount of family connections.? It truly felt like Divine Intervention. I still remember the day when Vinoj said "I'd love to come see you.? Whenever you're ready, you can let me know." WHAT!?? A guy across the country was willing to come see me!?? It felt unreal.? But after much thought and prayer, I knew I had to meet him. On September 11, 2009, Vinoj and I finally met.? By the end of the weekend, I knew I would miss him even though we had met just once.? I couldn't believe everything I was feeling, and after much prayer, I knew: He was it. His story Vinoj found an expressed interest waiting for him in his inbox in July of 2009 and was puzzled; why was an attractive girl from the US contacting him? There had to be some mistake. The only girls that had ever expressed interest in him barely had much to say other than the trite and overused, "I am a good mix of East and West." Anyone moderately interesting who expressed interest usually meant--- ahh. Psycho. So that's what this girl must have been. Nevertheless, being rather attractive, he decided to write her back. She wrote back too. And he wrote again. And she wrote, yet again. Which then led to the first big step: instant messaging. Their first conversation was a tentative dance of each testing the waters with each other. Surprisingly, there was chemistry and conversation flowed remarkably easily. (Mostly because Vinoj is an amazing conversationalist, and he's quite charming and handsome and---OWWWW-- okay she's pulling my ear. I'll stop that.) This then led to a phone conversation, and little did Anisha know, but within just a few minutes of talking to her, Vinoj heard a voice in his head.? A voice that said, "Here she is. She's the one." Of course did he tell her? Cardinal rule of talking to women- don't go effusive on praise right off the bat. Women run away screaming. One conversation turned to two, which became more, and hours of conversation and iChat videochats later, it was time to finally meet up. In September of 2009, Vinoj and Anisha met for the first time. She looked at him and gazed in amazement at this rock of a man. (OWWW ok.. stopping..) It was also the weekend of interviews with her family. What would they ask? What would they think? Was he good enough for their precious Anisha? After sweating bullets before talking to her brother (he turned out to be verrry chill and relaxed) and a second round of interviews with her father the next day (whose love for his daughter was so touching), Vinoj flew back, anxiously waiting the next chance to see Anisha. As the days grew longer, it became clear to both of them that this wasn't just another relationship. This was it. This was the real deal. God had truly blessed them with a life partner. So, on October 24th, 2009, the day before Vinoj's birthday, Vinoj proposed to Anisha. She accepted.
Ankush & Parul
Joseph Addison has rightly said, "A happy marriage has in it all the pleasures of friendships, all the enjoyment of sense and reason - and indeed all the sweets of life." I am glad to share that today we are happily married. :) I created my profile on Shaadi.com in 2007. It took 2 years to find the perfect match but it happened only through Shaadi.com and today we are happily married. Everyday,I was going through many profiles and then I came across Parul and expressed interest in her.Although after that things went out of Shaadi.com and we met in the real life. We got engaged the day we met as families also got involved in the whole sequence of events. We got married after six months. Now it's going to be one and a half years since we are married and two years since we know each other. It's been a happy journey. We enjoyed every moment of togetherness and look forward to live n enjoy our whole lives together. Somewhere Shaadi.com also deserves our warm regards as that's where our relationship got initiated and blossemed into love. Love for us is an inspiration, a divine feeling that brings the soulmates together for lifetime,its a promise to be kept with committment. Destiny always gets fullfilled through certain mediums. And in the case of our relationship,the medium was Shaadi.com We wish all the very best to all those who are looking for a perfect match on shaadi.com May they find their soulmates soon and stay happy always. Ankush and Parul :)

Sometime in 2008, I was doing my usual browsing of the matrimonial websites and logged onto Shaadi.com Ramya's profile popped up in the very first few pages and caught my attention. It started off with shooting a "Hi message" to a cute girl with a well written profile. Within a few days it went from exchanging emails to phone calls. And then it all stalled after a few weeks. Things seemed like it wouldn't work out for logistical reasons. This was going to be yet another person I contacted. We stayed in touch however. Via email/chat on and off. We talked rarely but somehow, somewhere both of us remembered that one person we'd spoken to. Fast forward to April 2010. We get back in touch and this time we decided to meet up and give it a shot. Ramya flew from Bangalore to Washington DC to her sister's place. I spent a week at DC and sometime during the first day we spent together, we just knew. I proposed to her at the end of the week and she said yes. We're in the course of setting up our home at Sunnyvale, CA as I type this out! Thanks Shaadi.com for helping us meet. We're indebted.
