Ashish & Pooja's story
I really don’t know someone come in my life and change my life like completely in beautiful ways. We are just two strangers when we first met, it was our families who brought us together. Ultimately, a marriage is a marriage, whether it is arranged or love match. My husband has a very calm temperament, whereas I am the exact opposite. He complete me and I complete him. That’s the beauty of our relationship. Yet understanding and respecting each others is what matters most in any relationship, nothing else compares. Whatever one might say, I truly believe this was god’s will a wish come true, like making a wish at 11:11.
