Sunandini’s journey on Dil Mil had been quite the roller coaster. She had been using the app on and off for two years, hoping to find that special someone. Abhijeet, on the other hand, had joined the app only a few months prior to when they matched. They both entered and braved the world of online dating at the height of the Global Pandemic, a time when meeting people face-to-face was as rare as toilet paper on shelves, leaving them no option but to rely on technology to move things along.

When Abhijeet swiped right on Sunandini, he was located in Mississauga Ontario, and she was across the border in New Haven, Connecticut. Little did they know, this match was about to be a game-changer! Their initial connection was strong, spark was instant, and despite the lockdown blues, they kicked off their first “date” on FaceTime. What began as a digital encounter quickly evolved into long conversations and texts filled with intimate discussions about their hopes, dreams, perspectives, and opinions on the world. They clung to these moments, hoping their bond would thrive despite the closed US-Canada border situation.

Time passed, and 15 months later, in December 2021, their patience was finally rewarded when the borders between the US and Canada opened. Sunandini and Abhijeet seized the opportunity to meet in person in Toronto, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.

Their first face-to-face encounter was a scene straight out of a rom-com, complete with an airport scene. Picture Sunandini, fresh off the plane, phone glued to her ear, navigating the terminal maze while still chatting with Abhijeet. As the seconds ticked by like hours, their hearts raced in anticipation faster than a departing flight. They weren´t meeting just any date; it was the finale of a 15-month-long virtual romance saga!

As they locked eyes upon meeting, it was as if the world around them faded into a blur, leaving only the two of them in sharp focus. Without hesitation, they rushed into each other’s arms, their embrace was an explosion of layers of emotions that were months deep. The intensity of their hug was so profound that it drew the attention of onlookers.. we told you, it was nothing short of an epic movie romance scene.

The biggest struggle of their dating journey had been the distance. Sunandini and Abhijeet really had to have faith and patience to make it work, especially when they had to hold on for numerous months to finally meet. For a lot of couples, the real life experience of meeting and getting to know each other in a shared physical space is a drastic part of the decision of whether or not they will take the next step of forming a relationship. For Sunandini and Abhijeet, they had waited for over a year for that opportunity and so, part of it felt very strange. However, their consistent communication throughout the months apart built a foundation of trust and faith, eliminating any doubts about their compatibility.

In the midst of a chilly February, Sunandini and Abhijeet set off on an unforgettable birthday weekend getaway to Vancouver, where her closest friend resided. Their anticipation for the trip was tinged with excitement and a hint of mystery, knowing that something extraordinary was on the horizon.

As they arrived at her best friend’s place in Vancouver, they couldn’t help but feel the electric energy in the air. It was Valentine’s Day, and, unknowingly for Sunandini, it was also a day that was about to become etched in her heart as a momentous occasion. Against the backdrop of Vancouver’s stunning, lush landscape, Sunandini and Abhijeet went on a whirlwind date to explore the city’s picturesque corners. Abhijeet had been dropping subtle hints about an epic surprise, and Sunandini eagerly followed his lead, trusting him wholeheartedly. The couple arrived at Canada Place, where Abhijeet “proposed” that Sunandini turn the other way for a scenic picture. He then tapped her shoulder, and when she turned around, she discovered Abhijeet on one knee with the most elegant ring! It was a beautiful moment that exceeded her wildest dreams and marked the beginning of their new chapter together.

In the wake of that enchanting proposal in Vancouver, Sunandini and Abhijeet’s love story continued to flourish. Their journey together was filled with more adventures and cherished moments. Their shared dreams became a reality, and their bond grew stronger with each passing day. It was a whirlwind romance that knew no bounds, and it culminated in a joyous celebration of love when Sunandini and Abhijeet got married about 4 months later. Their union was a testament to the power of love, trust, proof that what is delayed is still destined, and the belief that extraordinary moments can emerge from the most unexpected of places – especially if you have faith that it’ll all work out!

Get On Dil Mil

Misha and Shyam swiped right on each other all the way back in May 2017. At that point, Shyam was living in the quiet town of Odessa, Texas, a bit bored with his everyday life and ready to meet his special someone. Cut to Misha, whose pals had been championing Dil Mil like a mantra. One spontaneous night, she took the plunge and signed up to explore new connections. It was only a month later, in June 2017, that the wheels of conversation started turning. Shyam had sent her a message earlier, but she had another conversation going with someone else, so his message got sidelined. Once that chapter closed, she circled back to Shyam and they talked sporadically over the next 5 months sussing each other out, before their first date.

Shyam found himself battling cold feet five times before he finally mustered the courage to board a plane to Memphis, Tennessee, and meet Misha from November 9-13, 2017. He had never ventured to another state to meet a girl before, and that scared him. However, when he finally took that leap of faith, he knew he made the right choice and the rest as they say, is history. Picture the scene at the airport – the mounting anticipation, the nerves, the butterflies – it was as though it had been lifted straight from a Bollywood script. When Shyam laid eyes on Misha, he was certain he had made the correct decision, and on November 13, 2017, as their trip came to an end, he asked her to be his girlfriend.

Fast forward to July 2020, peak COVID time. Shyam’s now living in Dallas and Misha is visiting her family in Nashville, TN. After two months apart (gasp!), Shyam hatches a plan. “Hey, why don’t we hang in Memphis for the week?” he suggests, all casual-like. Meanwhile, Misha’s parents are playing sneaky cupid, insisting she gets dolled up with a new dress and fresh nails which obviously got her imagination running wild but she decided to go with the flow instead.

July 17th rolls around, and Misha drive back into Memphis where she finds Shyam waiting for her at her apartment. Two days of Netflix and chill later, July 19th arrives with a bang. Suddenly, Shyam’s all “Let’s get fancy for an early bird special at 4 PM!” meanwhile she´s not even hungry. He’s sweating buckets in a sports jacket, and it’s not just the 100-degree weather, folks! Misha’s spidey senses are tingling, but dinner comes and goes without a ring in sight. Then, Shyam suggests a romantic stroll in the park. In heels. In the heat. Cue Misha’s mini-meltdown and a growing headache. “Home. Advil. Now,” she demands.

But wait! Plot twist alert! Misha opens her apartment door to find… drumroll, please… Proposal Central! We’re talking photographer, family on FaceTime, hidden friends – the works! Talk about a home run surprise! And for our FRIENDS superfan Misha, it’s like her very own Monica and Chandler moment. Cue the happy tears and the “Oh. My. God!” in your best Janice voice!

The journey of love is often filled with potholes and speed bumps, and for Misha and Shyam, distance was their biggest challenge. They endured three years of long-distance dating before deciding they couldn’t do it anymore. So, they took the plunge, got engaged, and moved to Dallas, Texas together. Their strategy was smart – a long engagement that allowed them to truly get to know each other while living under the same roof.

They hosted a grand wedding celebration in Cancun in Nov 2022 around the same dates when Shyam had flown in to see Misha for their first date all those years ago. The wedding culminated with a sunset ceremony – a scene straight out of Misha´s dream and now they are nearing their 7th anniversary together! From swiping right on an app to swaying in each other’s arms on their wedding day, Misha and Shyam’s love story is a testament to love, and patience.

Get On Dil Mil

Two Mallus, one dating app, and a whole lot of destiny! Ancy’s on-again-off-again relationship with Dil Mil finally paid off when she matched with Princeton. Talk about perfect timing – he was a day away from deleting the app when the universe matched them cross-country in Summer 2019 which changed everything.

He was in Chicago while she was in Houston when it happened and while they both were on the look out for a connection within the Desi community, they were pleasantly surprised to find someone specifically from within the Kerala community called Knanaya. Ancy was Knanaya Jacobite (Syrian Orthodox) and Princeton was Knanaya Catholic. Although they came from slightly different religions, both practiced the traditions of the Knanaya community, which drew them together. In fact their decision to swipe right on each other was heavily influenced by the fact they had both stated they were Knanaya in their bios.

After three months of talking, Princeton and Ancy finally got to meet in person. The stars aligned when Princeton got invited to a wedding in Houston providing the perfect opportunity for him to see her. The moment was electric – as Ancy picked Princeton up from the wedding event, his excitement got the better of him. Instead of a gentle hug, Princeton practically tackled Ancy in a burst of enthusiasm. It was clear from this endearingly awkward first encounter that something special was blossoming.

Princeton’s Dil Mil bio was reflective of his love for tacos: “I just want someone to look at me the way I look at tacos.” Ancy, intrigued, fired off a cheesy taco pun (now lost to the annals of time). Fast forward to their first date in Houston: post-tackle, Ancy whisked Princeton on a 40-minute taco pilgrimage to Velvet Taco. There, amidst the heavenly aroma of spices and tortillas, they dove into conversation – from family drama to Bollywood beats. It was a night seasoned with laughter, sprinkled with shared interests, and wrapped in the warm tortilla of new love. It´s also the moment he knew that she is the one; not just because of the tacos haha, but because he saw her pour so much love and effort into the date by going above and beyond to make him happy.

The next day, before Princeton jetted back to Chicago, they met for a brunch that packed a punch. Both ordered spicy honey chicken biscuits, discovering their shared love for fiery flavors. As the heat from their meal lingered, so did the warmth of their connection. They decided to take things slow, savoring each moment like a perfectly seasoned dish. A month of simmering chemistry later, when Ancy visited Princeton in Chicago, he popped the question – not for marriage, but to make it official. Ancy’s response? As sweet as honey, as bold as their brunch choice!

In Summer 2020, a year into dating, Princeton pulled off the ultimate surprise proposal at Houston’s Gerald D Hines Water Wallnot. He sneakily dropped off a dress at Ancy’s house, then called her with a cryptic message about it. Little did she know, he was already in town, ready to pop the question! As Ancy got dolled up, Princeton waited at the water wall, heart racing. Her unsuspecting sister and brother-in-law played accomplice, delivering the bride-to-be right into Princeton’s flower-and-ring-wielding arms. Cue the “Yes!” and the snap-happy photographer capturing every swoon-worthy moment.

But wait, there’s more! Back at her sister’s house, Princeton had another trick up his sleeve – a heartwarming video from their families and friends, who couldn’t be there due to the pandemic. Absolute tear-jerker! It was a day of pure joy and love, second only to their wedding day (spoiler alert: that was pretty awesome and wholesome too). While the pre-wedding planning process was rather hectic and strenuous due to the unpredictability of Covid, their big day in August 2021 went ahead as planned, and they managed to celebrate with a whopping 500 guests, all of whom had a safe and wonderful time.

Talking about a wedding day to remember.. Princeton’s ring pulled a Houdini act, vanishing into thin air before the ceremony. But hey, who needs a ring when you’ve got love, right? The newlyweds didn’t let this hiccup dampen their spirits. They partied like rock stars, complete with a party bus and traditional South Indian drums setting the beat. The dance floor was on fire all night, with both Princeton and Ancy surprising guests with solo performances. Who knew Ancy had moves? It was a night of non-stop celebration, unexpected twists, and unforgettable memories.

After tying the knot, Princeton and Ancy embarked on their next adventure and made Dallas, TX their new stomping ground. From the first “hello,” sparks flew! Their connection felt like reuniting with an old friend – comfortable, exciting, and full of laughter. Their first date? A rollercoaster of delightful randomness that set the tone for their entire relationship. It’s been a wild, wonderful ride ever since, and they wouldn’t change a single moment of their quirky love story. After all, who needs perfection when you’ve got tales to tell till the end of time AND a beautiful Dil Mil baby to cherish forever (born in Fall´23)?! Talk about a happily ever after with a dash of adventure and a sprinkle of baby powder!

But wait! Plot twist alert! Misha opens her apartment door to find… drumroll, please… Proposal Central! We’re talking photographer, family on FaceTime, hidden friends – the works! Talk about a home run surprise! And for our FRIENDS superfan Misha, it’s like her very own Monica and Chandler moment. Cue the happy tears and the “Oh. My. God!” in your best Janice voice!

The journey of love is often filled with potholes and speed bumps, and for Misha and Shyam, distance was their biggest challenge. They endured three years of long-distance dating before deciding they couldn’t do it anymore. So, they took the plunge, got engaged, and moved to Dallas, Texas together. Their strategy was smart – a long engagement that allowed them to truly get to know each other while living under the same roof.

They hosted a grand wedding celebration in Cancun in Nov 2022 around the same dates when Shyam had flown in to see Misha for their first date all those years ago. The wedding culminated with a sunset ceremony – a scene straight out of Misha´s dream and now they are nearing their 7th anniversary together! From swiping right on an app to swaying in each other’s arms on their wedding day, Misha and Shyam’s love story is a testament to love, and patience.

Get On Dil Mil

Sunandini’s journey on Dil Mil had been quite the roller coaster. She had been using the app on and off for two years, hoping to find that special someone. Abhijeet, on the other hand, had joined the app only a few months prior to when they matched. They both entered and braved the world of online dating at the height of the Global Pandemic, a time when meeting people face-to-face was as rare as toilet paper on shelves, leaving them no option but to rely on technology to move things along.

When Abhijeet swiped right on Sunandini, he was located in Mississauga Ontario, and she was across the border in New Haven, Connecticut. Little did they know, this match was about to be a game-changer! Their initial connection was strong, spark was instant, and despite the lockdown blues, they kicked off their first “date” on FaceTime. What began as a digital encounter quickly evolved into long conversations and texts filled with intimate discussions about their hopes, dreams, perspectives, and opinions on the world. They clung to these moments, hoping their bond would thrive despite the closed US-Canada border situation.

Time passed, and 15 months later, in December 2021, their patience was finally rewarded when the borders between the US and Canada opened. Sunandini and Abhijeet seized the opportunity to meet in person in Toronto, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.

Their first face-to-face encounter was a scene straight out of a rom-com, complete with an airport scene. Picture Sunandini, fresh off the plane, phone glued to her ear, navigating the terminal maze while still chatting with Abhijeet. As the seconds ticked by like hours, their hearts raced in anticipation faster than a departing flight. They weren´t meeting just any date; it was the finale of a 15-month-long virtual romance saga!

As they locked eyes upon meeting, it was as if the world around them faded into a blur, leaving only the two of them in sharp focus. Without hesitation, they rushed into each other’s arms, their embrace was an explosion of layers of emotions that were months deep. The intensity of their hug was so profound that it drew the attention of onlookers.. we told you, it was nothing short of an epic movie romance scene.

The biggest struggle of their dating journey had been the distance. Sunandini and Abhijeet really had to have faith and patience to make it work, especially when they had to hold on for numerous months to finally meet. For a lot of couples, the real life experience of meeting and getting to know each other in a shared physical space is a drastic part of the decision of whether or not they will take the next step of forming a relationship. For Sunandini and Abhijeet, they had waited for over a year for that opportunity and so, part of it felt very strange. However, their consistent communication throughout the months apart built a foundation of trust and faith, eliminating any doubts about their compatibility.

In the midst of a chilly February, Sunandini and Abhijeet set off on an unforgettable birthday weekend getaway to Vancouver, where her closest friend resided. Their anticipation for the trip was tinged with excitement and a hint of mystery, knowing that something extraordinary was on the horizon.

As they arrived at her best friend’s place in Vancouver, they couldn’t help but feel the electric energy in the air. It was Valentine’s Day, and, unknowingly for Sunandini, it was also a day that was about to become etched in her heart as a momentous occasion. Against the backdrop of Vancouver’s stunning, lush landscape, Sunandini and Abhijeet went on a whirlwind date to explore the city’s picturesque corners. Abhijeet had been dropping subtle hints about an epic surprise, and Sunandini eagerly followed his lead, trusting him wholeheartedly. The couple arrived at Canada Place, where Abhijeet “proposed” that Sunandini turn the other way for a scenic picture. He then tapped her shoulder, and when she turned around, she discovered Abhijeet on one knee with the most elegant ring! It was a beautiful moment that exceeded her wildest dreams and marked the beginning of their new chapter together.

In the wake of that enchanting proposal in Vancouver, Sunandini and Abhijeet’s love story continued to flourish. Their journey together was filled with more adventures and cherished moments. Their shared dreams became a reality, and their bond grew stronger with each passing day. It was a whirlwind romance that knew no bounds, and it culminated in a joyous celebration of love when Sunandini and Abhijeet got married about 4 months later. Their union was a testament to the power of love, trust, proof that what is delayed is still destined, and the belief that extraordinary moments can emerge from the most unexpected of places – especially if you have faith that it’ll all work out!

Get On Dil Mil

Two Mallus, one dating app, and a whole lot of destiny! Ancy’s on-again-off-again relationship with Dil Mil finally paid off when she matched with Princeton. Talk about perfect timing – he was a day away from deleting the app when the universe matched them cross-country in Summer 2019 which changed everything.

He was in Chicago while she was in Houston when it happened and while they both were on the look out for a connection within the Desi community, they were pleasantly surprised to find someone specifically from within the Kerala community called Knanaya. Ancy was Knanaya Jacobite (Syrian Orthodox) and Princeton was Knanaya Catholic. Although they came from slightly different religions, both practiced the traditions of the Knanaya community, which drew them together. In fact their decision to swipe right on each other was heavily influenced by the fact they had both stated they were Knanaya in their bios.

After three months of talking, Princeton and Ancy finally got to meet in person. The stars aligned when Princeton got invited to a wedding in Houston providing the perfect opportunity for him to see her. The moment was electric – as Ancy picked Princeton up from the wedding event, his excitement got the better of him. Instead of a gentle hug, Princeton practically tackled Ancy in a burst of enthusiasm. It was clear from this endearingly awkward first encounter that something special was blossoming.

Princeton’s Dil Mil bio was reflective of his love for tacos: “I just want someone to look at me the way I look at tacos.” Ancy, intrigued, fired off a cheesy taco pun (now lost to the annals of time). Fast forward to their first date in Houston: post-tackle, Ancy whisked Princeton on a 40-minute taco pilgrimage to Velvet Taco. There, amidst the heavenly aroma of spices and tortillas, they dove into conversation – from family drama to Bollywood beats. It was a night seasoned with laughter, sprinkled with shared interests, and wrapped in the warm tortilla of new love. It´s also the moment he knew that she is the one; not just because of the tacos haha, but because he saw her pour so much love and effort into the date by going above and beyond to make him happy.

The next day, before Princeton jetted back to Chicago, they met for a brunch that packed a punch. Both ordered spicy honey chicken biscuits, discovering their shared love for fiery flavors. As the heat from their meal lingered, so did the warmth of their connection. They decided to take things slow, savoring each moment like a perfectly seasoned dish. A month of simmering chemistry later, when Ancy visited Princeton in Chicago, he popped the question – not for marriage, but to make it official. Ancy’s response? As sweet as honey, as bold as their brunch choice!

In Summer 2020, a year into dating, Princeton pulled off the ultimate surprise proposal at Houston’s Gerald D Hines Water Wallnot. He sneakily dropped off a dress at Ancy’s house, then called her with a cryptic message about it. Little did she know, he was already in town, ready to pop the question! As Ancy got dolled up, Princeton waited at the water wall, heart racing. Her unsuspecting sister and brother-in-law played accomplice, delivering the bride-to-be right into Princeton’s flower-and-ring-wielding arms. Cue the “Yes!” and the snap-happy photographer capturing every swoon-worthy moment.

But wait, there’s more! Back at her sister’s house, Princeton had another trick up his sleeve – a heartwarming video from their families and friends, who couldn’t be there due to the pandemic. Absolute tear-jerker! It was a day of pure joy and love, second only to their wedding day (spoiler alert: that was pretty awesome and wholesome too). While the pre-wedding planning process was rather hectic and strenuous due to the unpredictability of Covid, their big day in August 2021 went ahead as planned, and they managed to celebrate with a whopping 500 guests, all of whom had a safe and wonderful time.

Talking about a wedding day to remember.. Princeton’s ring pulled a Houdini act, vanishing into thin air before the ceremony. But hey, who needs a ring when you’ve got love, right? The newlyweds didn’t let this hiccup dampen their spirits. They partied like rock stars, complete with a party bus and traditional South Indian drums setting the beat. The dance floor was on fire all night, with both Princeton and Ancy surprising guests with solo performances. Who knew Ancy had moves? It was a night of non-stop celebration, unexpected twists, and unforgettable memories.

After tying the knot, Princeton and Ancy embarked on their next adventure and made Dallas, TX their new stomping ground. From the first “hello,” sparks flew! Their connection felt like reuniting with an old friend – comfortable, exciting, and full of laughter. Their first date? A rollercoaster of delightful randomness that set the tone for their entire relationship. It’s been a wild, wonderful ride ever since, and they wouldn’t change a single moment of their quirky love story. After all, who needs perfection when you’ve got tales to tell till the end of time AND a beautiful Dil Mil baby to cherish forever (born in Fall´23)?! Talk about a happily ever after with a dash of adventure and a sprinkle of baby powder!

Get On Dil Mil

Misha and Shyam swiped right on each other all the way back in May 2017. At that point, Shyam was living in the quiet town of Odessa, Texas, a bit bored with his everyday life and ready to meet his special someone. Cut to Misha, whose pals had been championing Dil Mil like a mantra. One spontaneous night, she took the plunge and signed up to explore new connections. It was only a month later, in June 2017, that the wheels of conversation started turning. Shyam had sent her a message earlier, but she had another conversation going with someone else, so his message got sidelined. Once that chapter closed, she circled back to Shyam and they talked sporadically over the next 5 months sussing each other out, before their first date.

Shyam found himself battling cold feet five times before he finally mustered the courage to board a plane to Memphis, Tennessee, and meet Misha from November 9-13, 2017. He had never ventured to another state to meet a girl before, and that scared him. However, when he finally took that leap of faith, he knew he made the right choice and the rest as they say, is history. Picture the scene at the airport – the mounting anticipation, the nerves, the butterflies – it was as though it had been lifted straight from a Bollywood script. When Shyam laid eyes on Misha, he was certain he had made the correct decision, and on November 13, 2017, as their trip came to an end, he asked her to be his girlfriend.

Fast forward to July 2020, peak COVID time. Shyam’s now living in Dallas and Misha is visiting her family in Nashville, TN. After two months apart (gasp!), Shyam hatches a plan. “Hey, why don’t we hang in Memphis for the week?” he suggests, all casual-like. Meanwhile, Misha’s parents are playing sneaky cupid, insisting she gets dolled up with a new dress and fresh nails which obviously got her imagination running wild but she decided to go with the flow instead.

July 17th rolls around, and Misha drive back into Memphis where she finds Shyam waiting for her at her apartment. Two days of Netflix and chill later, July 19th arrives with a bang. Suddenly, Shyam’s all “Let’s get fancy for an early bird special at 4 PM!” meanwhile she´s not even hungry. He’s sweating buckets in a sports jacket, and it’s not just the 100-degree weather, folks! Misha’s spidey senses are tingling, but dinner comes and goes without a ring in sight. Then, Shyam suggests a romantic stroll in the park. In heels. In the heat. Cue Misha’s mini-meltdown and a growing headache. “Home. Advil. Now,” she demands.

But wait! Plot twist alert! Misha opens her apartment door to find… drumroll, please… Proposal Central! We’re talking photographer, family on FaceTime, hidden friends – the works! Talk about a home run surprise! And for our FRIENDS superfan Misha, it’s like her very own Monica and Chandler moment. Cue the happy tears and the “Oh. My. God!” in your best Janice voice!

The journey of love is often filled with potholes and speed bumps, and for Misha and Shyam, distance was their biggest challenge. They endured three years of long-distance dating before deciding they couldn’t do it anymore. So, they took the plunge, got engaged, and moved to Dallas, Texas together.

Instead of a gentle hug, Princeton practically tackled Ancy in a burst of enthusiasm. It was clear from this endearingly awkward first encounter that something special was blossoming.

Princeton’s Dil Mil bio was reflective of his love for tacos: “I just want someone to look at me the way I look at tacos.” Ancy, intrigued, fired off a cheesy taco pun (now lost to the annals of time). Fast forward to their first date in Houston: post-tackle, Ancy whisked Princeton on a 40-minute taco pilgrimage to Velvet Taco. There, amidst the heavenly aroma of spices and tortillas, they dove into conversation – from family drama to Bollywood beats. It was a night seasoned with laughter, sprinkled with shared interests, and wrapped in the warm tortilla of new love. It´s also the moment he knew that she is the one; not just because of the tacos haha, but because he saw her pour so much love and effort into the date by going above and beyond to make him happy.

The next day, before Princeton jetted back to Chicago, they met for a brunch that packed a punch. Both ordered spicy honey chicken biscuits, discovering their shared love for fiery flavors. As the heat from their meal lingered, so did the warmth of their connection. They decided to take things slow, savoring each moment like a perfectly seasoned dish. A month of simmering chemistry later, when Ancy visited Princeton in Chicago, he popped the question – not for marriage, but to make it official. Ancy’s response? As sweet as honey, as bold as their brunch choice!

In Summer 2020, a year into dating, Princeton pulled off the ultimate surprise proposal at Houston’s Gerald D Hines Water Wallnot. He sneakily dropped off a dress at Ancy’s house, then called her with a cryptic message about it. Little did she know, he was already in town, ready to pop the question! As Ancy got dolled up, Princeton waited at the water wall, heart racing. Her unsuspecting sister and brother-in-law played accomplice, delivering the bride-to-be right into Princeton’s flower-and-ring-wielding arms. Cue the “Yes!” and the snap-happy photographer capturing every swoon-worthy moment.

But wait, there’s more! Back at her sister’s house, Princeton had another trick up his sleeve – a heartwarming video from their families and friends, who couldn’t be there due to the pandemic. Absolute tear-jerker! It was a day of pure joy and love, second only to their wedding day (spoiler alert: that was pretty awesome and wholesome too). While the pre-wedding planning process was rather hectic and strenuous due to the unpredictability of Covid, their big day in August 2021 went ahead as planned, and they managed to celebrate with a whopping 500 guests, all of whom had a safe and wonderful time.

Talking about a wedding day to remember.. Princeton’s ring pulled a Houdini act, vanishing into thin air before the ceremony. But hey, who needs a ring when you’ve got love, right? The newlyweds didn’t let this hiccup dampen their spirits. They partied like rock stars, complete with a party bus and traditional South Indian drums setting the beat. The dance floor was on fire all night, with both Princeton and Ancy surprising guests with solo performances. Who knew Ancy had moves? It was a night of non-stop celebration, unexpected twists, and unforgettable memories.

After tying the knot, Princeton and Ancy embarked on their next adventure and made Dallas, TX their new stomping ground. From the first “hello,” sparks flew! Their connection felt like reuniting with an old friend – comfortable, exciting, and full of laughter. Their first date? A rollercoaster of delightful randomness that set the tone for their entire relationship. It’s been a wild, wonderful ride ever since, and they wouldn’t change a single moment of their quirky love story. After all, who needs perfection when you’ve got tales to tell till the end of time AND a beautiful Dil Mil baby to cherish forever (born in Fall´23)?! Talk about a happily ever after with a dash of adventure and a sprinkle of baby powder!

Get On Dil Mil

Misha and Shyam swiped right on each other all the way back in May 2017. At that point, Shyam was living in the quiet town of Odessa, Texas, a bit bored with his everyday life and ready to meet his special someone. Cut to Misha, whose pals had been championing Dil Mil like a mantra. One spontaneous night, she took the plunge and signed up to explore new connections. It was only a month later, in June 2017, that the wheels of conversation started turning. Shyam had sent her a message earlier, but she had another conversation going with someone else, so his message got sidelined. Once that chapter closed, she circled back to Shyam and they talked sporadically over the next 5 months sussing each other out, before their first date.

Shyam found himself battling cold feet five times before he finally mustered the courage to board a plane to Memphis, Tennessee, and meet Misha from November 9-13, 2017. He had never ventured to another state to meet a girl before, and that scared him. However, when he finally took that leap of faith, he knew he made the right choice and the rest as they say, is history. Picture the scene at the airport – the mounting anticipation, the nerves, the butterflies – it was as though it had been lifted straight from a Bollywood script. When Shyam laid eyes on Misha, he was certain he had made the correct decision, and on November 13, 2017, as their trip came to an end, he asked her to be his girlfriend.

Fast forward to July 2020, peak COVID time. Shyam’s now living in Dallas and Misha is visiting her family in Nashville, TN. After two months apart (gasp!), Shyam hatches a plan. “Hey, why don’t we hang in Memphis for the week?” he suggests, all casual-like. Meanwhile, Misha’s parents are playing sneaky cupid, insisting she gets dolled up with a new dress and fresh nails which obviously got her imagination running wild but she decided to go with the flow instead.

July 17th rolls around, and Misha drive back into Memphis where she finds Shyam waiting for her at her apartment. Two days of Netflix and chill later, July 19th arrives with a bang. Suddenly, Shyam’s all “Let’s get fancy for an early bird special at 4 PM!” meanwhile she´s not even hungry. He’s sweating buckets in a sports jacket, and it’s not just the 100-degree weather, folks! Misha’s spidey senses are tingling, but dinner comes and goes without a ring in sight. Then, Shyam suggests a romantic stroll in the park. In heels. In the heat. Cue Misha’s mini-meltdown and a growing headache. “Home. Advil. Now,” she demands.

But wait! Plot twist alert! Misha opens her apartment door to find… drumroll, please… Proposal Central! We’re talking photographer, family on FaceTime, hidden friends – the works! Talk about a home run surprise! And for our FRIENDS superfan Misha, it’s like her very own Monica and Chandler moment. Cue the happy tears and the “Oh. My. God!” in your best Janice voice!

The journey of love is often filled with potholes and speed bumps, and for Misha and Shyam, distance was their biggest challenge. They endured three years of long-distance dating before deciding they couldn’t do it anymore. So, they took the plunge, got engaged, and moved to Dallas, Texas together. Their strategy was smart – a long engagement that allowed them to truly get to know each other while living under the same roof.

They hosted a grand wedding celebration in Cancun in Nov 2022 around the same dates when Shyam had flown in to see Misha for their first date all those years ago. The wedding culminated with a sunset ceremony – a scene straight out of Misha´s dream and now they are nearing their 7th anniversary together! From swiping right on an app to swaying in each other’s arms on their wedding day, Misha and Shyam’s love story is a testament to love, and patience.

Get On Dil Mil

Sunandini’s journey on Dil Mil had been quite the roller coaster. She had been using the app on and off for two years, hoping to find that special someone. Abhijeet, on the other hand, had joined the app only a few months prior to when they matched. They both entered and braved the world of online dating at the height of the Global Pandemic, a time when meeting people face-to-face was as rare as toilet paper on shelves, leaving them no option but to rely on technology to move things along.

When Abhijeet swiped right on Sunandini, he was located in Mississauga Ontario, and she was across the border in New Haven, Connecticut. Little did they know, this match was about to be a game-changer! Their initial connection was strong, spark was instant, and despite the lockdown blues, they kicked off their first “date” on FaceTime. What began as a digital encounter quickly evolved into long conversations and texts filled with intimate discussions about their hopes, dreams, perspectives, and opinions on the world. They clung to these moments, hoping their bond would thrive despite the closed US-Canada border situation.

Time passed, and 15 months later, in December 2021, their patience was finally rewarded when the borders between the US and Canada opened. Sunandini and Abhijeet seized the opportunity to meet in person in Toronto, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.

Their first face-to-face encounter was a scene straight out of a rom-com, complete with an airport scene. Picture Sunandini, fresh off the plane, phone glued to her ear, navigating the terminal maze while still chatting with Abhijeet. As the seconds ticked by like hours, their hearts raced in anticipation faster than a departing flight. They weren´t meeting just any date; it was the finale of a 15-month-long virtual romance saga!

As they locked eyes upon meeting, it was as if the world around them faded into a blur, leaving only the two of them in sharp focus. Without hesitation, they rushed into each other’s arms, their embrace was an explosion of layers of emotions that were months deep. The intensity of their hug was so profound that it drew the attention of onlookers.. we told you, it was nothing short of an epic movie romance scene.

The biggest struggle of their dating journey had been the distance. Sunandini and Abhijeet really had to have faith and patience to make it work, especially when they had to hold on for numerous months to finally meet. For a lot of couples, the real life experience of meeting and getting to know each other in a shared physical space is a drastic part of the decision of whether or not they will take the next step of forming a relationship. For Sunandini and Abhijeet, they had waited for over a year for that opportunity and so, part of it felt very strange. However, their consistent communication throughout the months apart built a foundation of trust and faith, eliminating any doubts about their compatibility.

In the midst of a chilly February, Sunandini and Abhijeet set off on an unforgettable birthday weekend getaway to Vancouver, where her closest friend resided. Their anticipation for the trip was tinged with excitement and a hint of mystery, knowing that something extraordinary was on the horizon.

As they arrived at her best friend’s place in Vancouver, they couldn’t help but feel the electric energy in the air. It was Valentine’s Day, and, unknowingly for Sunandini, it was also a day that was about to become etched in her heart as a momentous occasion. Against the backdrop of Vancouver’s stunning, lush landscape, Sunandini and Abhijeet went on a whirlwind date to explore the city’s picturesque corners. Abhijeet had been dropping subtle hints about an epic surprise, and Sunandini eagerly followed his lead, trusting him wholeheartedly. The couple arrived at Canada Place, where Abhijeet “proposed” that Sunandini turn the other way for a scenic picture. He then tapped her shoulder, and when she turned around, she discovered Abhijeet on one knee with the most elegant ring! It was a beautiful moment that exceeded her wildest dreams and marked the beginning of their new chapter together.

In the wake of that enchanting proposal in Vancouver, Sunandini and Abhijeet’s love story continued to flourish. Their journey together was filled with more adventures and cherished moments. Their shared dreams became a reality, and their bond grew stronger with each passing day. It was a whirlwind romance that knew no bounds, and it culminated in a joyous celebration of love when Sunandini and Abhijeet got married about 4 months later. Their union was a testament to the power of love, trust, proof that what is delayed is still destined, and the belief that extraordinary moments can emerge from the most unexpected of places – especially if you have faith that it’ll all work out!

Get On Dil Mil

Two Mallus, one dating app, and a whole lot of destiny! Ancy’s on-again-off-again relationship with Dil Mil finally paid off when she matched with Princeton. Talk about perfect timing – he was a day away from deleting the app when the universe matched them cross-country in Summer 2019 which changed everything.

He was in Chicago while she was in Houston when it happened and while they both were on the look out for a connection within the Desi community, they were pleasantly surprised to find someone specifically from within the Kerala community called Knanaya. Ancy was Knanaya Jacobite (Syrian Orthodox) and Princeton was Knanaya Catholic. Although they came from slightly different religions, both practiced the traditions of the Knanaya community, which drew them together. In fact their decision to swipe right on each other was heavily influenced by the fact they had both stated they were Knanaya in their bios.

After three months of talking, Princeton and Ancy finally got to meet in person. The stars aligned when Princeton got invited to a wedding in Houston providing the perfect opportunity for him to see her. The moment was electric – as Ancy picked Princeton up from the wedding event, his excitement got the better of him. Instead of a gentle hug, Princeton practically tackled Ancy in a burst of enthusiasm. It was clear from this endearingly awkward first encounter that something special was blossoming.

Princeton’s Dil Mil bio was reflective of his love for tacos: “I just want someone to look at me the way I look at tacos.” Ancy, intrigued, fired off a cheesy taco pun (now lost to the annals of time). Fast forward to their first date in Houston: post-tackle, Ancy whisked Princeton on a 40-minute taco pilgrimage to Velvet Taco. There, amidst the heavenly aroma of spices and tortillas, they dove into conversation – from family drama to Bollywood beats. It was a night seasoned with laughter, sprinkled with shared interests, and wrapped in the warm tortilla of new love. It´s also the moment he knew that she is the one; not just because of the tacos haha, but because he saw her pour so much love and effort into the date by going above and beyond to make him happy.

The next day, before Princeton jetted back to Chicago, they met for a brunch that packed a punch. Both ordered spicy honey chicken biscuits, discovering their shared love for fiery flavors. As the heat from their meal lingered, so did the warmth of their connection. They decided to take things slow, savoring each moment like a perfectly seasoned dish. A month of simmering chemistry later, when Ancy visited Princeton in Chicago, he popped the question – not for marriage, but to make it official. Ancy’s response? As sweet as honey, as bold as their brunch choice!

In Summer 2020, a year into dating, Princeton pulled off the ultimate surprise proposal at Houston’s Gerald D Hines Water Wallnot. He sneakily dropped off a dress at Ancy’s house, then called her with a cryptic message about it. Little did she know, he was already in town, ready to pop the question! As Ancy got dolled up, Princeton waited at the water wall, heart racing. Her unsuspecting sister and brother-in-law played accomplice, delivering the bride-to-be right into Princeton’s flower-and-ring-wielding arms. Cue the “Yes!” and the snap-happy photographer capturing every swoon-worthy moment.

But wait, there’s more! Back at her sister’s house, Princeton had another trick up his sleeve – a heartwarming video from their families and friends, who couldn’t be there due to the pandemic. Absolute tear-jerker! It was a day of pure joy and love, second only to their wedding day (spoiler alert: that was pretty awesome and wholesome too). While the pre-wedding planning process was rather hectic and strenuous due to the unpredictability of Covid, their big day in August 2021 went ahead as planned, and they managed to celebrate with a whopping 500 guests, all of whom had a safe and wonderful time.

Talking about a wedding day to remember.. Princeton’s ring pulled a Houdini act, vanishing into thin air before the ceremony. But hey, who needs a ring when you’ve got love, right? The newlyweds didn’t let this hiccup dampen their spirits. They partied like rock stars, complete with a party bus and traditional South Indian drums setting the beat. The dance floor was on fire all night, with both Princeton and Ancy surprising guests with solo performances. Who knew Ancy had moves? It was a night of non-stop celebration, unexpected twists, and unforgettable memories.

After tying the knot, Princeton and Ancy embarked on their next adventure and made Dallas, TX their new stomping ground. From the first “hello,” sparks flew! Their connection felt like reuniting with an old friend – comfortable, exciting, and full of laughter. Their first date? A rollercoaster of delightful randomness that set the tone for their entire relationship.

Get On Dil Mil

Sunandini’s journey on Dil Mil had been quite the roller coaster. She had been using the app on and off for two years, hoping to find that special someone. Abhijeet, on the other hand, had joined the app only a few months prior to when they matched. They both entered and braved the world of online dating at the height of the Global Pandemic, a time when meeting people face-to-face was as rare as toilet paper on shelves, leaving them no option but to rely on technology to move things along.

When Abhijeet swiped right on Sunandini, he was located in Mississauga Ontario, and she was across the border in New Haven, Connecticut. Little did they know, this match was about to be a game-changer! Their initial connection was strong, spark was instant, and despite the lockdown blues, they kicked off their first “date” on FaceTime. What began as a digital encounter quickly evolved into long conversations and texts filled with intimate discussions about their hopes, dreams, perspectives, and opinions on the world. They clung to these moments, hoping their bond would thrive despite the closed US-Canada border situation.

Time passed, and 15 months later, in December 2021, their patience was finally rewarded when the borders between the US and Canada opened. Sunandini and Abhijeet seized the opportunity to meet in person in Toronto, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.

Their first face-to-face encounter was a scene straight out of a rom-com, complete with an airport scene. Picture Sunandini, fresh off the plane, phone glued to her ear, navigating the terminal maze while still chatting with Abhijeet. As the seconds ticked by like hours, their hearts raced in anticipation faster than a departing flight. They weren´t meeting just any date; it was the finale of a 15-month-long virtual romance saga!

As they locked eyes upon meeting, it was as if the world around them faded into a blur, leaving only the two of them in sharp focus. Without hesitation, they rushed into each other’s arms, their embrace was an explosion of layers of emotions that were months deep. The intensity of their hug was so profound that it drew the attention of onlookers.. we told you, it was nothing short of an epic movie romance scene.

The biggest struggle of their dating journey had been the distance. Sunandini and Abhijeet really had to have faith and patience to make it work, especially when they had to hold on for numerous months to finally meet. For a lot of couples, the real life experience of meeting and getting to know each other in a shared physical space is a drastic part of the decision of whether or not they will take the next step of forming a relationship. For Sunandini and Abhijeet, they had waited for over a year for that opportunity and so, part of it felt very strange. However, their consistent communication throughout the months apart built a foundation of trust and faith, eliminating any doubts about their compatibility.

In the midst of a chilly February, Sunandini and Abhijeet set off on an unforgettable birthday weekend getaway to Vancouver, where her closest friend resided. Their anticipation for the trip was tinged with excitement and a hint of mystery, knowing that something extraordinary was on the horizon.

As they arrived at her best friend’s place in Vancouver, they couldn’t help but feel the electric energy in the air. It was Valentine’s Day, and, unknowingly for Sunandini, it was also a day that was about to become etched in her heart as a momentous occasion. Against the backdrop of Vancouver’s stunning, lush landscape, Sunandini and Abhijeet went on a whirlwind date to explore the city’s picturesque corners. Abhijeet had been dropping subtle hints about an epic surprise, and Sunandini eagerly followed his lead, trusting him wholeheartedly. The couple arrived at Canada Place, where Abhijeet “proposed” that Sunandini turn the other way for a scenic picture. He then tapped her shoulder, and when she turned around, she discovered Abhijeet on one knee with the most elegant ring! It was a beautiful moment that exceeded her wildest dreams and marked the beginning of their new chapter together.

In the wake of that enchanting proposal in Vancouver, Sunandini and Abhijeet’s love story continued to flourish. Their journey together was filled with more adventures and cherished moments. Their shared dreams became a reality, and their bond grew stronger with each passing day. It was a whirlwind romance that knew no bounds, and it culminated in a joyous celebration of love when Sunandini and Abhijeet got married about 4 months later. Their union was a testament to the power of love, trust, proof that what is delayed is still destined, and the belief that extraordinary moments can emerge from the most unexpected of places – especially if you have faith that it’ll all work out!

Get On Dil Mil

Two Mallus, one dating app, and a whole lot of destiny! Ancy’s on-again-off-again relationship with Dil Mil finally paid off when she matched with Princeton. Talk about perfect timing – he was a day away from deleting the app when the universe matched them cross-country in Summer 2019 which changed everything.

He was in Chicago while she was in Houston when it happened and while they both were on the look out for a connection within the Desi community, they were pleasantly surprised to find someone specifically from within the Kerala community called Knanaya. Ancy was Knanaya Jacobite (Syrian Orthodox) and Princeton was Knanaya Catholic. Although they came from slightly different religions, both practiced the traditions of the Knanaya community, which drew them together. In fact their decision to swipe right on each other was heavily influenced by the fact they had both stated they were Knanaya in their bios.

After three months of talking, Princeton and Ancy finally got to meet in person. The stars aligned when Princeton got invited to a wedding in Houston providing the perfect opportunity for him to see her. The moment was electric – as Ancy picked Princeton up from the wedding event, his excitement got the better of him. Instead of a gentle hug, Princeton practically tackled Ancy in a burst of enthusiasm. It was clear from this endearingly awkward first encounter that something special was blossoming.

Princeton’s Dil Mil bio was reflective of his love for tacos: “I just want someone to look at me the way I look at tacos.” Ancy, intrigued, fired off a cheesy taco pun (now lost to the annals of time). Fast forward to their first date in Houston: post-tackle, Ancy whisked Princeton on a 40-minute taco pilgrimage to Velvet Taco. There, amidst the heavenly aroma of spices and tortillas, they dove into conversation – from family drama to Bollywood beats. It was a night seasoned with laughter, sprinkled with shared interests, and wrapped in the warm tortilla of new love. It´s also the moment he knew that she is the one; not just because of the tacos haha, but because he saw her pour so much love and effort into the date by going above and beyond to make him happy.

The next day, before Princeton jetted back to Chicago, they met for a brunch that packed a punch. Both ordered spicy honey chicken biscuits, discovering their shared love for fiery flavors. As the heat from their meal lingered, so did the warmth of their connection. They decided to take things slow, savoring each moment like a perfectly seasoned dish. A month of simmering chemistry later, when Ancy visited Princeton in Chicago, he popped the question – not for marriage, but to make it official. Ancy’s response? As sweet as honey, as bold as their brunch choice!

In Summer 2020, a year into dating, Princeton pulled off the ultimate surprise proposal at Houston’s Gerald D Hines Water Wallnot. He sneakily dropped off a dress at Ancy’s house, then called her with a cryptic message about it. Little did she know, he was already in town, ready to pop the question! As Ancy got dolled up, Princeton waited at the water wall, heart racing. Her unsuspecting sister and brother-in-law played accomplice, delivering the bride-to-be right into Princeton’s flower-and-ring-wielding arms. Cue the “Yes!” and the snap-happy photographer capturing every swoon-worthy moment.

But wait, there’s more! Back at her sister’s house, Princeton had another trick up his sleeve – a heartwarming video from their families and friends, who couldn’t be there due to the pandemic. Absolute tear-jerker! It was a day of pure joy and love, second only to their wedding day (spoiler alert: that was pretty awesome and wholesome too). While the pre-wedding planning process was rather hectic and strenuous due to the unpredictability of Covid, their big day in August 2021 went ahead as planned, and they managed to celebrate with a whopping 500 guests, all of whom had a safe and wonderful time.

Talking about a wedding day to remember.. Princeton’s ring pulled a Houdini act, vanishing into thin air before the ceremony. But hey, who needs a ring when you’ve got love, right? The newlyweds didn’t let this hiccup dampen their spirits. They partied like rock stars, complete with a party bus and traditional South Indian drums setting the beat. The dance floor was on fire all night, with both Princeton and Ancy surprising guests with solo performances. Who knew Ancy had moves? It was a night of non-stop celebration, unexpected twists, and unforgettable memories.

After tying the knot, Princeton and Ancy embarked on their next adventure and made Dallas, TX their new stomping ground. From the first “hello,” sparks flew! Their connection felt like reuniting with an old friend – comfortable, exciting, and full of laughter. Their first date? A rollercoaster of delightful randomness that set the tone for their entire relationship. It’s been a wild, wonderful ride ever since, and they wouldn’t change a single moment of their quirky love story. After all, who needs perfection when you’ve got tales to tell till the end of time AND a beautiful Dil Mil baby to cherish forever (born in Fall´23)?! Talk about a happily ever after with a dash of adventure and a sprinkle of baby powder!

Get On Dil Mil

Misha and Shyam swiped right on each other all the way back in May 2017. At that point, Shyam was living in the quiet town of Odessa, Texas, a bit bored with his everyday life and ready to meet his special someone. Cut to Misha, whose pals had been championing Dil Mil like a mantra. One spontaneous night, she took the plunge and signed up to explore new connections. It was only a month later, in June 2017, that the wheels of conversation started turning. Shyam had sent her a message earlier, but she had another conversation going with someone else, so his message got sidelined. Once that chapter closed, she circled back to Shyam and they talked sporadically over the next 5 months sussing each other out, before their first date.

Shyam found himself battling cold feet five times before he finally mustered the courage to board a plane to Memphis, Tennessee, and meet Misha from November 9-13, 2017. He had never ventured to another state to meet a girl before, and that scared him. However, when he finally took that leap of faith, he knew he made the right choice and the rest as they say, is history. Picture the scene at the airport – the mounting anticipation, the nerves, the butterflies – it was as though it had been lifted straight from a Bollywood script. When Shyam laid eyes on Misha, he was certain he had made the correct decision, and on November 13, 2017, as their trip came to an end, he asked her to be his girlfriend.

Fast forward to July 2020, peak COVID time. Shyam’s now living in Dallas and Misha is visiting her family in Nashville, TN. After two months apart (gasp!), Shyam hatches a plan. “Hey, why don’t we hang in Memphis for the week?” he suggests, all casual-like. Meanwhile, Misha’s parents are playing sneaky cupid, insisting she gets dolled up with a new dress and fresh nails which obviously got her imagination running wild but she decided to go with the flow instead.

July 17th rolls around, and Misha drive back into Memphis where she finds Shyam waiting for her at her apartment. Two days of Netflix and chill later, July 19th arrives with a bang. Suddenly, Shyam’s all “Let’s get fancy for an early bird special at 4 PM!” meanwhile she´s not even hungry. He’s sweating buckets in a sports jacket, and it’s not just the 100-degree weather, folks! Misha’s spidey senses are tingling, but dinner comes and goes without a ring in sight. Then, Shyam suggests a romantic stroll in the park. In heels. In the heat. Cue Misha’s mini-meltdown and a growing headache. “Home. Advil. Now,” she demands.

But wait! Plot twist alert! Misha opens her apartment door to find… drumroll, please… Proposal Central! We’re talking photographer, family on FaceTime, hidden friends – the works! Talk about a home run surprise! And for our FRIENDS superfan Misha, it’s like her very own Monica and Chandler moment. Cue the happy tears and the “Oh. My. God!” in your best Janice voice!
