How we met
Firstly, Richard, you have the right key to my heart. I must confess, Richard, you are a precious Gift from God, you are my best friend, confidant, my sky, after God Almighty, you are everything to me. Before I met Richard, I had learnt to put all issues of marriage to God and the desires of my heart regarding my husband to be; I also gave God the total control, to choose for me, and he gave me the best.
– Anu (Bride)
Anu is beautiful inside out, she is my “Star”, she lights up my world, and I call her “My Star”. Anu completes me, she is the woman of my dreams, the woman I will spend the rest of my life with. I promise to love you and be true to you for the rest of my life. With all happiness I can boldly say, with God and you on my side I am blessed and looking forward to a glorious and bright future together.
– Richard (Groom)
Our love is built on “FRIENDSHIP, TRUST & COMMITMENT”. We met in 2011 at Teesside University Library study room; Anu was studying for her final year Law degree exam, whilst Richard was preparing for his Postgraduate Thesis. After we met in the library, “Anu did not really talk to me, she thought I was going to distract her. It took a lot to convince her that I will not distract her from her studies as it was and is still my dream to be a part of her future”.
We later became friends, and we were library friends for over a year, before we stated dating; we have grown together and learnt a lot together our love is based on “We against the world”.
“I did not think twice before proposing to Anu, she is a special Gem, a rare one in fact”. Well as his shining star, “I didn’t hesitate to say yes to my prince charming”. We both have learnt to communicate, compromise, and most importantly commit everything to God in prayers. Without God we will not be together.
For all of you wondering … Our big day is “OCT 25th 2014”. SAVE THE DATE and Turn up.
