Prachi & Abhishek
We were so happy to find each other last July. We hit it off right away and got engaged within 2 months! Our wedding was two months ago on February 12, 2006. Thank you for helping us find each other, shaadi.com!
Anshul & Gopi
Dear Shaadi Team, We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us find each other. On July 25 2005 my husband contacted me that very day his profile got activated, my profile was about to expire the very same day. We had long chats over the phone & by e-mail. He was in Fairbanks Alaska & I was in Los angles California. He came to LA to meet me the very next month. We spent 2 days together while he was in LA and we immediately realized that we were right for each other. With the blessings of family members we decided to get married on 11th December, 2005 in Los Angles. All we can say is we are really happy now in life then ever before. It is a great feeling to know you have someone to love, and someone who loves you back. All this thanks to SHAADI.
Pankaj & Joyeeta
Joyeeta: I put up my profile in January of 2004 and by the time June 2005 came around, things were starting to look pretty bleak. I had met and talked to so many members but nothing ever seemed to click. Just about to lose hope and take my profile out, my maasi who was visiting from India convinced me to create a new profile. So i just changed my profile name to Rinku_ca. Within 3 days, Pankaj contaced me from Seattle. Pankaj: I had been on shaadi.com for about 6 months and on other online dating sites before that for almost 2 years; and I had met a couple other people, but nothing clicked. Then I saw Joyeeta's profile in the daily mail from shaadi.com. She lived in Canada, and I was restricting my searches to the US (stupid me), so she would've never shown up in my searches otherwise! I loved the way she wrote about herself, and how long her profile was. I was only concerned about one thing - she was looking for someone at least 2 inches taller than I am :). Dejected, I waited a few days and then I figured ... what the hell. If she wants to say no, she will, right :)? So I contacted her. Joyeeta: At first i was a little apprehensive, I didn't want a long dist. relationship and his height requirements weren't exactly what i had hoped for ;), but his profile was so nicely done that you could look right into this person and tell how sweet he was. So i accepted his contact, and we started emailing. Within a week, he suggested we talk on the phone. I will never forget our first conversation, i was so nervous and he was so sweet, made me feel at ease and even sang for me at my request. Thus this is how our story began..... Pankaj: She took a few days to respond. Grrr :). I think it took her that long to realize that maybe I wasn't 5 inches taller, only 3 inches taller that her, but it *might* just work ;-). Anyway, we started emailing right away. And I felt the connection right then. With other people that I had talked to on shaadi.com or on other online sites, it took me at least a month or two to move from the first contact to email to phone. With her, I couldn't wait. Within a week, I suggested we talk on the phone, and it was great! Pretty soon we were dying to see each other. I bought my ticket, and just a few weeks after I first contacted her, I went to Toronto to see her. Things clicked really, really well. She visited me in Seattle after that, and we decided to tell our parents we had found the one! Joyeeta: An incident which will grace every story telling opportunity in our family... So when Pankaj flew down to Toronto the first time, I was at work and i couldn't go to pick him up at the airport. My dad offered to do that, so Pankaj met my dad first and spent 1 hr in the car with him. Kudos to the two of them for being so brave :)!!!! We had such a fabulous time when he came down, it was heart breaking to see him leave. Within a month i went to Seattle and we realized that we had found the "right" person. Our family was ecstatic to hear the news. Pankaj: I have to tell you - I was one of the people who never imagined this "chat mangni, pat byah" scenario. I always wanted to meet someone, take a year or two to get to know the person, and then think about getting married. But you meet the right person, and all your previous plans fall by the wayside. Once I'd met Joyeeta, I could not wait a year or two. It was hard enough to wait a few months! We got married on February 6, 2006. She is now here in Seattle, and our married life has started. I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with this amazing woman :)! Thank you, shaadi.com! Joyeeta: Our wedding day and all the days leading upto it were amazing. Our families got along so well and there was so much love, i feel so lucky. Even luckier that i get to spend the rest of my life with such a great guy who is my life..my love..my everything!! Thank you Shaadi.com!
Bhavna & Ashish
Thanks for helping me find my prince charming. I have loved reading your success stories and never knew I would be writing my own some day. I received an email from Ashish on May 2, 2005 (oh yes, I remember all the dates). I looked at his profile and saw his pictures. One thing had struck me were his eyes. When we spoke, we liked each other instantly. I liked his simplicity and straight-forwardness. He is an MBA student at Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, while I was a resident physician in New York. He was coming to NY for his internship in investment banking over the summer; we met for the first time on May 21, 2005. I was post-call and came straight from the hospital in my scrubs to pick him up from the airport. I have to admit this that I fell in love with him the first time I saw him. My heart knew he is the one for me. May 21, 2005 has been the most memorable day of my life - just like a fairy tale. He showed me around the whole city and treated me like a princess. There was no looking back from then onwards. We kept in touch and came to meet each other every now and then. Ashish went to Bangkok as an exchange student for about 4 months, which was the toughest period for us. Distance helped us know that it was true love and it was for keeps. Ashish visited India during that time and met my family as well. They all adored him and were so touched by simplicity and loving nature. Ashish came back to the US on Mar 22, 2006 and came straight to see me on March 23 to Philadelphia. When I saw him, I was so happy, couldn't find words to express my happiness to finally see him after so long. He brought me lot of gifts. Eventually he surprised me by going on his knees with a ring and proposing to me. I was shocked and didn't answer. He had to ask me again when I finally said yes. The funny part is that I made him ask me 4 more times as I couldn't believe it, which he lovingly did. After this the big question was when to get married. I was busy with my residency and Ashish was busy with completing his MBA and then starting his new job. I wasn't sure about my vacation. None of us wanted to wait much longer and we finally got married on Apr 7, 2006 in the Cook County Courthouse of Chicago. When we exchanged oaths, we both had tears in our eyes. I am very happy to have gotten such a loving husband. We both are so much in love with each other. I think the key to a successful relationship is unconditional love, trust, good communication and always keeping the other person's wishes and desires above yours. Oh and yes, shaadi.com was key too! Thank you.
Shishir & Shobha
"I (live in Texas, USA) was astonished to see that the profile I had no time to see in the beginning is now my dear wife (lived in Bristol, UK). It so happened that my elder sister Rashmi contacted Anjali's profile on 22nd October 05 and she accepted my profile on 24th October 05. When I received an email from Shaadi.com stating that Anjali has accepted my profile, I thought that this may be like any other profile and I decided to check the profile later as I was at work. My sister called me the very next moment and articulated the same information and compelled me to check the photographs at least. I agreed and opened the profile to check the pictures. The minute I saw her profile I could not take my eyes off from her beautiful smile she had in those pictures. By the time I reached home after work I had her email in my mailbox with small introduction about her family and herself. I was so excited to see her email and interest in my profile that I could not stop my hands writing back about my family background and other details. And since then we have been chatting and talking over the phone on regular basis. We started liking each other in a very short period of time. We share so many qualities like we both are from Air Force family culture, we both share same birth month and zodiac sign, we both have same food likes and dislikes. While this was developing on our end, back in India her parent visited my parent house and their meeting was very fruitful too. Our parent satisfaction gave us more strength to make our decision quicker. We decided to meet each other in person and I flew to Bristol, UK on 24th Nov 05 exactly after a month she accepted my profile. The very same day we found that we are perfect for each other and we both should be together for rest of our lives. By all divine powers everything went very smoothly and we got married on 19th February 06. My wife and I would like to take this opportunity and show our gratitude to all Shaadi.com team members for this great service they offer to all the unmarried people out there to find their soul mate all over world. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Ashok & Elizabeth
It gives me great pleasure in informing that your services have helped me find my soul mate. "God has created a match for everyone; it's just a matter of time and circumstances before they meet." Shaadi.com has been vital for introducing Asokan Subramaniam into my life and we will be ever grateful to you for this. I could not have found anyone better than .Asokan to spend my life with. We been on shaadi.com for 3 months and finally I found the soul mate. I been living in Chennai, India and he in Calgary and later moved to medicine HAT for better prospects and we spoke through e-mail exchanged our photos introduced ourselves and then he called me and it so happened that he started calling me regularly every day and he was my friend , lover , guide ,teacher and finally we fell in love and we were supposed to be married in the month of December 2005. But do to his job change and he came to India on 25 th January 2006 and his mother on 26th and we got out registered marriage on 27.02.2006 and followed by a reception the next day ie 28.02.06. Now we are happily married and now I am waiting for my sponsorship to Canada. I wish this service connects more destinies together as it did with ours. Thanks Shaadi.com Cheers!!!!!
Vrushalee & Aniruddha
Hello, This email is from Vrushalee & Aniruddha who had met through shaadi.com, sending across our sweet little love story. We are based in Dubai. Iam a kashmiri pandit & he is marathi(koknastha brahmin fm pune).I was hesitant to initiate as I had a different concept about advertising guys but I was amazed to receive his first sms on 22nd Jan2005 & as we spoke for an hour, it seemed as if he is talking my heart out. As our conversation continued for days together....., we both realised that we share the same taste for almost everything. We have a very good compatibility with regards to our nature, workstyle, religious beliefs, family values, love & respect etc...There was little problem from my family initially but his affection towards my parents nullified that problem. We were only waiting for the right mahurat to tie the knot, everything fell in the right place when fortunately our wedding mahurat was 22nd Jan2006, completing exactly one year of our courtship.We got married & we are leading an extremely happy married life. Thank you very much shaadi.com for making our dream come true that we got the right life partner through your site. We wish everyone all the very best and we are very sure that each member will be able to find the right one, right here..right now.... with tons of love & rgrds
Snehal & Roshan
Well this one's quiet amazing.. Roshan's (my fiancee) twin sister (Roshni) is settled in USA. She along with her 7 year old daughter (Meghna) was surfing through the profiles on shaadi.com. It was little Meghna who insisted in approaching me. She immediately called up roshan in India and told him 'munna, ek gujarati ladki hai.. bahut achchi hai.. Roshan being a shy guy didn't approach me personally at that time. When I saw his profile. I recollected we had already met on professional level 4 years back, and so was a little skeptical about initiating talks on personal level. Though I responded to roshni's request. We exchanged quiet a few mails. Though it took me a couple of months to gather the courage to call him.. And one fine day I spoke to roshan..He was a little embarrassed because he thought it wasn't a very good idea to mix professional and personal relations however things got easier once we started taking on regular basis and then began our story. I thank my stars for getting such a wonderful person in my life and of course shaadi.com to have this common platform where people can meet their dream mates.. We both being computer professionals and into IT industry salute the technology of selecting life partners at comfort of a click.. All the very best to shaadi.com team for their efforts in making this world a better place.

Aatish & Amita
Dear Shaadi Team, My name is Aatish and I would like to thank you all for helping me find my sweet heart. I joined the site around two years ago and met loads of nice people, but didn't really see any sparks fly. That was until I met with my future wife Amita on the 3rd Jan 2005 from Shaadi.com. From then onwards its been like a Diwali firework display :) We instantly fell in love and she has kept me smiling ever since. Now we have the fun part of arranging a wedding, great :) The only advice I can give to people who are currently looking is "Never give up, you will meet someone when you least expect it!" (its true). I never thought i'd meet my future wife from a website, but hey look at me now...... Best of luck to you all.
