My Pastor , Ps.Jaykumar saw Viju's profile and told my mom and sisters , and all at home .Initially mummy said no because he was from Mumbai. A north Indian who was very far away as we were from the South.But later my people said OK and our pastor arranged for a talk on the phone. We spoke and Viju said if this is God's will , it will happen. We will keep the matter in prayer.
I had a government job and was working far from the city , and was trying to get transfer to the city. We kept praying for the proposal and meanwhile my twin sister got married. My mother happened to meet Viju in Mumbai. She seemed happy and then Viju invited us to his home at Mumbai , saying that they are not keen on looking any background and economics but instead we could come and see the home i was going to live in if we got married in the future. We went to his home along with my pastor. and Viju's family saw me (Vijus mom got a word that I was going to be her daughter in law) , We met and talked, and liked each other and the rest is history.My knowledge of Hindi went in my favour. The marriage took place in Bangalore on the 26th April 2003, with a second reception in Mumbai.I left my job and joined Viju in Mumbai ,within a year Viju got a job in Bangalore and moved back, I resumed my government job .
I was 32 and Viju was 33 when we got married. My family comes from TN Salem but born and settled in Bangalore . Viju's family comes from Madhya Pradesh and they were settled in Mumbai. We were divided by culture but are united in Christ.
