Ch. 6 - Naye Safar ka Shubharambh

After such a rollercoaster in the past 1 year, we finally got along and this time for real without any sorts of doubts in mind. In fact now as we think about that phase, we are kind of thankful for it too as it brought a lot more genuineness to our relationship. With time even our close friends got assurances about us and they were the happiest of all. It brought an altogether different energy within us. It's rightly said, when you are genuinely happy from the bottom of the heart it reflects in a lot of other things in your life. We did feel the difference and we were happier than ever before.

Most of my closest friends started getting married as the lockdown opened. As she is also a very close part of my inner circle by now, her involvement was equal to mine. It also helped us live these moments and know eachother even more.

Initially we met individually to each other's families and then eventually our families also got along slowly and steadily. We made sure that to blend together we would have to make conscious effort, and not just for the sake of it but because we would love to do that. It was a happy feeling that we are taking it one step ahead.

Sooner than we knew we decided our wedding dates. For me, I am one of the last amongst my circle to get married, but for her she is amongst the 1st ones. We both started getting this feeling of OMG, the shit’s getting real, but more than me she was overwhelmed with this feeling. We were enjoying these small moments of meeting along with our families to make thoughtful decisions for our future. The nervousness does follow along all the time but it's out of happiness. It was such an overwhelming feeling to see our families in one frame as we did our Roka - Tilak Ceremony.

Both of us are not of the opinions that, We are made for eachother. Not at all. We are bang opposites, we are not someone we expected as our partners to be. But there is certainly something that holds us together. We feel happier when we are together. We are the best versions of ourselves when we are together. I think that's all one needs to have to take the step of getting married. Of Course there are a lot of other things which we do consider but those are secondary. We went through a very rough path to understand this, but today we are thankful for it.

As we look back on our journey, we get goosebumps but we are thrilled to start a new journey of being together for the rest of our lives.

Countdown Begins!
