Celebration of love in Paris

Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.
A good marriage must be created.

In the art of marriage the little things are the big things…

It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once a day.

It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude
of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy.

It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.

It is discovering what marriage can be, at its best.

– -“The Art of Marriage” by Wilferd A. Peterson

This a story about two people who reminds us of old fashioned love packaged in millenial wrapper. An eternal love story that was made in heaven but arranged by parents on earth.

Ria and Gautam met almost 5 years ago. They hit it off the very first time..more of a click than love at first sight. Though it took over a month to say “Yes’, deep down they knew they have met  their soulmate who appreciated each other’s silly sense of humor.

Gautam is shy but charming in his own peculiar ways. Under that bearded face lies a childlike innocence that is endearing to leave a lasting impression. He is chivalrous, has a tender heart and loves ice cream.

Ria, a firecracker who often times gets caught between making important life decisions, between shopping and sheesha. Her honest heart and zest to live life is a breath of fresh air on a crisp autumn morning. Loved by everyone, Ria is young and beautiful, on the inside and out.

When Gautam contacted us to plan his anniversary shoot in Paris, we were more than excited. Who would not be? How often do you hear some one giving a promise ring to his beloved on their 4th wedding anniversary!

Unbeknownst to Ria, the entire operation was planned in so much secrecy that it could compete with the secret operations of CIA.

It was a beautiful morning. There was a scent in the air that reminded you of an old song that lingered in your memory. A sunshine that filled you with warmth when you had your first kiss.

With this perfect ambience and the Eiffel tower as witness, Gautam went down on his knees and slipped a Promise ring in her dainty finger with words that made her fall in love all over again.

I choose you to be no other than yourself,
loving what I know of you and trusting who you will become.
to have and to hold,
in tears and in laughter,
in sickness and in health.
To love and to cherish from this day forward, in this world and the next.
I will be true to the promise I have made.
