Happy 45th Anniversary Mommy and Daddy! As an arranged marriage, you might not have chosen each other, but each day, you choose to love each other faithfully. You give us — your children and grandchildren — the gift of love personified. And we are blessed because of it. 
 
May God bless you with many more years together! Cuz, I’m holding out for Dad’s homemade tiramisu after Mom changes the kitchen light bulb. ☺

    • Thanks Pam!! Should have mentioned that he only “kisses” her on her forehead when any of the kids are around… it’s an Indian thing! 🙂 -Raj

  2. Thanks Jasanna! For following too! 🙂

    I say, “You don’t always choose who you fall in love with, but you do choose who you will love every day. Because, love is ultimately acting out your feelings, one choice at a time.” I think I stole and tweeked that one from someone! haha. 😉 -Raj

  3. I really like this. 🙂 You wouldn’t think it could happen when arranged, but that just goes to show that love is a choice you make every moment, not just simply a feeling. 🙂 Thanks for sharing! I’m one of your newest followers. 🙂
