Gem & Riya: A Love That Conquered All Our story began in 2019. We met online. What started as casual chats soon turned into a deep friendship, and by 2020, we had fallen in love. But love isn’t always easy. Our families opposed our relationship due to caste and distance. Despite our efforts, we broke up twice, and I fell into depression. Seeing my struggle, my parents reconsidered, but then her parents objected. Twice, the wedding was called off, leaving us heartbroken. Just when hope seemed lost, our friend Joseph became our bridge, convincing both families. Finally, on February 23rd, our marriage was fixed! I work as a Catalogue Analyst at Walmart Global Tech, pursuing my MBA, while Riya is a dedicated teacher. Despite busy lives, love kept us strong. Now, we’re ready for our biggest journey! On November 1st, we say "I do." Join us in celebrating a love that overcame all! "True love faces every storm and shines brighter." – Gem & Riya
