Okay...
Well... I've always wanted a love marriage and I was going to have one till... the love of my life broke my heart. After that, I just looked to Allah (swt) for help and to guide me because I felt so so so lost, broken and I can't explain in words but times were hard.
Years passed and my parents came to me with different proposals... I rejected. Kept on rejecting, but then one day when I was reading namaaz, I got this feeling, that maybe I shouldn't reject. I know this sounds insane but believe me, these feelings you get when you ask God for help are real.
So... After some time, this one proposel kept coming up.. I decided to get to know the guy cuz who knows maybe he won't be a jerk and actually will be the one. Girls... that decision was the best decision I ever made. We talked for months and then decided to get engaged. One year has passed, and now insha'Allah in August 2010 we will get married. This started off as arranged but ended in love and masha'Allah he is EVERYTHING I could hope, ask, want and need. I haven't been this happy in a long time and it shows. Everyone who meets me now notices the glow on my face. Masha'Allah.
Point is.. sometimes, kismat takes its toll. You never know what may happen and the one thing I've learnt, is never say never. I always use to say never arranged, and even though my relationship was arranged but has turned into love... it was still initially arranged. I just know, when the time is right, things will just fall into place with the right person.
That's just how I see it after my own experience, so just sharing. =-)
