Mine was an arranged marriage. But v had good lead time and cud understand each other well thro' phone talks. I got engaged in Dec 2004 and my marrige was in March 2005. All thro' this time, not even one had passed by, without a phone call. I am a person who used to go to bed pretty early, Max i cud stretch may b till 9.45 or ten. And my hubby used to come home only at that time. Sometimes i used to set alarm and sleep off by 9.00. When my hubby gives me a call only i used to wake up..... V used to talk about ebverthing under the sun, from the day's work to the world happenings. The phone calls used to long for 45 mins to 1 hr. Sometimes i wud b so very engrossed in the talk, that i wudn't realise wat time it is and he wud b warning me to go to bed. This paved a way for our better understanding and on the day of the marrige, i didnt feel like am meeting a totally new person. I felt am going to share my life with somebody who is very close to me, whom i already knew.

I didnot have enough leave and was on a leave budget even for my marriage. I had applied for a week's leave including the day of the marriage. But the situation was that, i had to attend office on the second day of my marrige, cancelling my leave. I was wondering how wud i convince my in-laws and my hubby of this. This development was on the morn of the marriage, just immediately after the mangalya Dharanam. I was a new new fresh wife only then.

I felt i shud tell him personally of this and i was just messaging him, when i saw him coming out o f the room. I looked at him tensely, not knowing wat reaction to expect rom him. But his eyes told me everything. They were so very comforting and understanding. I breathed a fresh lease of life then.
