#dilmilmatch

It was September of 2014 and after a lot of swiping right and left, Sarita and Souvik matched on Dil Mil. Sarita was in her last year of nursing school in Wichita Falls, TX and Souvik had just moved to Dallas, TX a few months earlier. After four weeks of texting back and forth, talking on the phone, and video chatting, they decided to meet in person. Souvik volunteered to drive up to Wichita Falls for their first in-person meeting. Sarita was pleasantly surprised that he took the initiative to drive up, rather than waiting for her to come back to Dallas on her next holiday from school.

It was mid-October of 2014 when Sarita got a call from Souvik that he had just reached Wichita Falls and was parked at her apartment. She felt that nervous excitement feeling in the pit of her stomach as she walked out the door to go meet him. Their first day together was everything they expected it to be. They got along very well and the conversation flowed effortlessly. Although Souvik’s first trip to Wichita Falls was only for a few hours, he already knew that he wanted to take this relationship to the next step.

Sarita and Souvik are each other’s best friend. They are constantly joking around and making each other laugh. They are there for each other every step of the way. They both feel extremely lucky to have found each other to go through life with, thanks to Dil Mil.

It was November 25th, 2014 when Souvik officially asked Sarita to be his girlfriend. She was on Thanksgiving break and she went down to Dallas to visit him. He gave her a red rose, expressed his feelings, asked her to be his girlfriend, and she happily accepted!

Souvik and Sarita will celebrate their two-year anniversary in about a month and they have loved every minute of these past two years. If they were to give relationship advice, they would say that communication is key. As cliché as that sounds, it’s important to be open and honest with your significant other in order to prevent bottling up feelings and unleashing them all at once at a later time. You also need to stick by your partner through both the good times and the bad. Relationships aren’t easy – life isn’t easy – and there will be many trials and tribulations. If you can stick by your partner through the joyful moments as well as the tougher moments, your relationship will be stronger than ever.

Here at Dil Mil, we cannot even begin to describe how we feel when we get a message like this. From the initial OMG! to the aww to the placing my hand over my dil (you should all know what this means by now, but if you’re just catching up with us, “dil” means heart) out of heartfelt happiness, I was literally tearing up!

I would have full-out unleashed these tears of joy had I not immediately phoned our founder to let him know his app has resulted in yet another love story. You might think this would get old after a while, but love never gets old! Or maybe we’re all just hopeless romantics here at Dil Mil.

But enough about me! Let’s hear about our gorgeous and super cute couple, Nadiya Tai and Aezaz Vegamwala. Nadiya was so kind to share details of her story with us; here’s their story in Nadiya’s own words:

On the evening of December 19th Aezaz sent his number to me and I sent mine. He was shocked initially when I sent my number. He then messaged me while he was en route to a Celtics game (note I’m a Hoosier so go Pacers!) He messaged me while I was in a meeting thinking I wasn’t going to reply past “Hey.” 

He went about watching the game, then his phone rang and it was me. That night we texted nonstop till I couldn’t bear to text any longer. Our first phone conversation was three days later, nonstop talking for a good 3.5 hours. 

We both knew at that point there’s a potential future we both envisioned together. From the first day forward we have experienced nothing but happiness. Not only that, we found out later on our families knew each other and now we are planning a wonderful journey together.

If that doesn’t sound like it was meant to be, wait until you hear about their proposal story. 

But first, let me set the stage with this picture perfect shot:

Well I knew I was getting proposed to since our Baat was pakki [fixed] and all… Friday evening Aezaz came over to pick me up. He first told my dad he was proposing to me while I was still getting ready. We drove to downtown Indy and we recreated our first date. 

Our first stop was at Starbucks, both getting the same drinks we did on our first date. We walked around for a good 1.5 hours since the weather was amazing. He then decided to head towards the canal walk which ironically is also my favorite spot during the summer time. We were casually talking and I asked him why he wanted to marry me.

Aezaz then said, “About 4 months ago, I came across your profile and as soon as I saw just one of your pictures, my mind, my heart, and my gut told me there was something about you I couldn’t overlook. 

I then took the chance and approached you which I usually don’t do with a lot of people, but there was just something about you. After our first few conversations and everything we’ve been through these last few months, there has never been a day of sorrow or distress in my life. 

You came into my life as a blessing to a point where not only me but also my parents have a glow on their face I’ve never seen before. I grew so attached to you to a point where I couldn’t imagine life without you anymore. I met your parents and your family and immediately I felt at home – loved and cared for as I would by my own family. 

The spark in your eyes and the sound of your voice every morning made life that much better and allowed our relationship to grow that much stronger over time. You never ceased to amaze me, and I don’t even remember how and when I fell in love with you; never have I felt this way about anyone, so you left me with no choice than to ask you to be mine for a lifetime.” 

And then we approached the spot where Aezaz’s best man was waiting and I was speechless. Aezaz held my hand and told me how much he loved me, making me burst out in tears of joy. 

He got down on one knee and asked, “Nadiya Mehboob Tai, will you marry me?” Of course I said yes, but the moment was surreal. My best friend asked me to be his life partner.

I’m not going to lie – I just teared up again re-reading that. And I don’t know about you, but I was seriously blown away and impressed with the answer Aezaz gave. 

You’ve got yourself a winner, Nadiya! From the entire Dil Mil team, congratulations Nadiya and Aezaz!
