They said, " Arranged Marriage".. and I said ok :)
I was 23 and he was 31. When you're woozy with the thought of being with someone you have started to love, age is just a number right?
So we got married, Nov 8th 2009... And what a journey it has been. Full of ups and downs, sometimes more of the downs, than the ups, lots of tears, lots of laughter, scary thoughts.
Marriage is not easy. If anyone every told you that it was they are so wrong. If anyone ever told you that being married is easy breezy, they have never had a " happy" marriage.
The first one year is SO tough! nothing anybody tells you can give you a prelude to what lies ahead in the land of marital bliss.
At the ripe age of 23, I had to deal with in -laws, lots of expectations, cultural shock, age, adjustments and life, in general. My heart was bursting with the joy of being married.. but it also craved for freedom, independence and fun ( all which does not come with being "married" to an Indian joint household)
But we've Come to Age... Grown up maybe, Marriage and life threw tough obstacles in our way and we overcame them..
3 years down the lane and marriage seems , well blissful still. I won't deny that there were days when I cried wondering why I decided to marry so young or whether V was the right choice but somewhere in my heart I also knew that , there was a reason i still stuck around, for love. He loves me.. And I guess we all have different ways of displaying our emotions or showing the ones we love , that we care.
3 years and my heart skips a beat when I see V, so thats a good sign :)
Here is a picture that reminds me everyday, why I decided to stay married to V.
