The Beauty & The Beast

Our love story

Where do I begin...Manpal and I aren't your topical couples that dated and we're madly in love and knew they would eventually get married. We were completely opposite of this stereotype story. 

Long, long time ago back in 2004, Manpal first laid his eyes on me was the Guruwara (religious temple)  I had heard through the grapevines that he liked me and wanted to met. This made me furious! Why you might ask.. well its because I think it's disgusting when guys/girls check out the opposite sex at a religious temple!!! I thought to myself: I will met him and teach him a lesson; maybe slap him across the gave or something. 

When we met I dressed as ugliest and tomboy as I could. We talked and talked and I realized he's not like the rest of them boys. The original idea was canceled and new plan was to be friends. 

You can label your relationship whatever you want. We were labeled boyfriend and girlfriend but we were more like best friends. I was becoming more comfortable sharing personal stuff with, like my family, school, and dreams/goals. He, however, felt comfortable but never really shared much of his family or past. 

In the back of my head I was falling deeply in love with him. But he had already told me he would never marry so I was to never dream we would be to gather forever. That did not stop us from strengthen our relationship. 

Years went by and together we been through many ups and downs. While the storm's kept coming, we kept facing them. Eventually one storm came that Manpal couldn't let pass. My parents were looking for suitable suitors for me. It came to a point where I was about to get engaged too. Since I always felt like Manpal was a BBF, I told him about the guy and that I think he might be the one. And I guess that trigger something; he not only wants me but needs me.. and forever.. He wanted to marry me. 

Before I knew it, Manpal called my mom and arranged to the families to met. April 9th 2011 we had a simple religious pre - engagement ceremony. I couldn't registered that this all happened. Then soon after August 3rd 2012 we got married!  

That's our love story. At the end of the day, I married my BBF and thing are just getting started for us. 

I hope you enjoyed our story and I will post more milestone within our marriage as they come.
