Beena's brother uploaded her profile on Shaadi.com and she was not even aware of it! Her father contacted me and after a few minutes on the phone, the families agreed to meet. They had a strong connection with my native place as well, and this played a major factor in going ahead with the proposal as it is second marriage for both of us. In our first meeting, Beena told me point blank - that I was not ready for marriage! Later I realized that was her sub-conscious 'defense mechanism'... I was hooked on to her though, so I pushed back hard and convinced her we were good together. She said yes and WE won!
