Needless to say, sparks did not fly that evening.
I was intrigued by the striking similarity in our profiles, he remembers.
Right after they matched, Preetha swiped yes.

Rem, however, wasnt so easily dissuaded and took her out on two more dates that week.
He then made it a point to bid her farewell in person the morning she left for India.
Somehow, distance and time didnt dampen the connection.
Preetha and Rem made a point to communicate every day while she was abroad.
A friend of ours taught us the wordbashert, a Yiddish word for soulmate.
I had a feeling something exciting might happen!
As the sun set, Rem tied Aja to the stairs and led me down to the dock.
He explained that he wanted some photos of just us.
In disbelief, I awkwardly asked if this was a proposal, to which Rem replied, Yes.
I burst out in joyful laughter and said yes!
