It was in Nov 2006, after receiving Talat's interest I went through her profile, I felt there was something in common and I accepted her interest. We started to talk to each other in Jan 2007 after our parents consent and this continued for almost 10 months. Talking to her over chat and phone, I found that she had lots of qualities which I needed as my better half. We met briefly a few times. Later in April 2007, we finally decided to get engaged. The engagement was fixed on 3 May. It was then that our marriage dates were decided by our parents. We and our families are so happy for our marriage on 25 October 2007. Shaadi.com made the match possible unlike the conventional arranged marriages where one has to decide on the matches brought by friends/relatives in a relatively shorter time!
