    I heard this amazing story before, the man went to a fortune teller and the fortune teller said to him that one day he would have a visit from a blond, white woman from Europe who will change his life. He waited for her for many years and when she was there he was shocked. Its amazing!

    Such a lovely couple. Bless them.
    Reminds me of my parents' story. Both worked in a bank and fell in love. Back in the 80s, marrying someone from a different caste was a taboo. They eloped cos their parents didn't agree to the marriage. Apparently their story was published in a local magazine. And once they got married and the families eventually met, turned out that both my grandfathers were classmates in school. 😀
    41 years of marriage and still going strong.
