My mum and dads rishta story is so adorable. My mum and her family moved to England when she was like 16, but my dad still lived in Pakistan. And both families had a mutual friend who introduced them, so my grandad (mums dad) went over and met my dads family and said yes to the rishta. Neither of them had seen each other or spoke on the phone or anything. So my dads family sent a ring, so technically they were engaged. My mum then sent over a sponsership thing to call my dad over as her finance, and the fisrt time they met was at the airport when my dad arrived. My dad says the fist time he saw her ‘he knew it was love’ and gave her a massive hug, my mum apparently red as a plum said ‘what was that for?’ and my dad replied with the cheesiest line possible ‘just had to make sure i wasnt dreaming’. My grandad says he was standing there giving them both evil looks going ‘ahem ahem besharams’ haha. They got married 2 moths later and mashalla they’ll be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary soon
