Our Roka (God-dhana in Gujarati culture) happened in December last year in India while we both live here in the US. Ours was an arranged setting. <\/span><\/p>\n

He still wanted to go down on a knee and propose to me so he told my dad that we wouldn’t do a ring ceremony in India. All of a sudden he one day tells me to get dressed for a pre-wedding photoshoot.\u00a0My cousin is a photographer so she takes me to this beach. I see him and all our family and friends in a tent with all rose petals and candles. And then there’s a sign that says “will you marry me?<\/strong>” while he is on his knee with a ring in his hand. My cousin has the ring my dad got made for him and so we exchange rings there! I had never expected that I would get a proposal because he is not my boyfriend and we were not dating. In a typical arranged marriage scenario, you meet each other, roka happens and then get married. I was taken by surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
