Our Love Story
Our Dil Mil Story It all started with a swipe and a skeptical heart. Chandani wasn’t exactly a fan of online dating—she was sure it was a world full of casual chats that lead nowhere. So, when Jay first reached out, she didn’t think much of it. In fact, she was convinced he’d flake or ghost like so many others. But Jay had other plans. He wasn’t just persistent; he was charmingly patient. After sending a few messages that went unanswered, Jay finally caught Chandani’s attention. When she replied, his excitement was unmistakable. Jay, ever the gentleman, was eager to hear her voice, he wasted no time and suggested a phone call. But Chandani wasn’t ready to make things that easy. She had her excuses lined up: “I’m out with family,” “I’ve lost my voice,” and the classic “cough, cough… I’m sick.” Jay, however, wasn’t fazed. He happily settled for texting. And that’s when the magic began. What started as a few casual messages turned into a marathon conversation. They texted all day and stayed up all night, sharing stories, dreams, and even their wedding plans—all within 24 hours. Crazy, right? As if their whirlwind connection wasn’t serendipitous enough, they discovered an unbelievable coincidence: both of their younger brothers had major milestones happening the very same weekend—one was getting married, and the other was getting engaged. It might sound crazy, but when two people click, everything just falls into place. From that point on, it was clear that fate had a hand in their story. What started with a swipe turned into something extraordinary. Now, here we are, ready to celebrate not just a wedding, but a story of love, patience, and destiny. Chandani and Jay can’t wait to share this special day with all of you—the family and friends who’ve been part of their journey and who make their love story even more beautiful.
