It all began in college — the place that quietly set us up for something neither of us saw coming.
I still remember the first time I saw Amanda: confident, stunning, and completely unforgettable. Time froze, and so did I.
Getting her attention wasn’t easy — casual run-ins, bad jokes,
you name it — but eventually, she noticed.
Our quick hallway hellos turned into long talks, spontaneous plans, endless laughter, and the kind of connection that just felt right.
Amanda’s warmth met my calm perfectly — like coffee and cream… or with an extra shot of espresso depending on the day.
After college, we took a leap and moved to the United States to build our life together — and that’s where our real story began.
Over ten years later, through milestones, laughter, and challenges, one thing remains constant: we’ve always done things our way.
While most wait for the “right time,” we created our own version of normal — living, working, and growing side by side. Even sharing the same workplace only strengthened our trust and understanding, turning everyday moments into something truly ours.
Then came Canada — a new country, a fresh start, and another adventure together.
Between sleepless university nights, grocery runs, and distant birthday celebrations, we kept chasing our goals side by side — buying our first car was just the beginning.
The journey to becoming Permanent Residents wasn’t easy, but Amanda never let go of my hand. Her strength and light through every challenge kept us moving forward — she’s been my constant, unshakable force.
I’d been planning the proposal for a while, but life had other plans. Just when I was ready to buy the ring, it turned out to be the right time to buy our first home — so instead of a ring, we bought furniture and welcomed 2025 with McDonald’s in our new house.
That home became our story — laughter, late-night talks, takeout dinners, and quiet moments that meant everything.
When it was finally time to propose, I planned it in our hometown, Kolkata, surrounded by family and friends. The moment I went down on one knee, my rehearsed speech vanished — I just smiled.
But I didn’t need the words. She already knew. And she said yes — not because it was perfect, but because it was us: real, happy, and full of love.
It might have taken us ten years to make it official, but she’s been mine since the day we met.
We’ve already lived a lifetime together — crossing borders, chasing dreams, building a home, and finding peace in the chaos.
This wedding isn’t the beginning; it’s the next chapter of a story that’s already been incredible.
She’s always been my everything — the same girl who caught my eye in college and never let my heart go.
