Marriage "destiny or sheer co-incidence"

Have heard people saying that “time and tide wait for none”. Its true in some cases especially when it comes to marriage. My family can be taken as perfect example for it. My parents along with my cousin’s parents (2 cousins) were hunting out for our better half’s for more than 2 years now. Each family was looking out for suitable match for 3 prospective candidates for marriage. 

Me along with my cousins were under constant pressure due this, since we were not willing to get married anytime soon. We tried our level by rejecting proposals, giving our own unique excuses to avoid marriage to some extent. Finally we gave up and told our parents that whatever they are going to decide we will abide by it. Our parents were happy but we weren’t, thinking about what will happen next.

This year beginning was no better for all 3 of us. Proposals started pouring in we had to see our prospective brides and groom. My cousins were in better position since they were in kerala but I have to go visit Kerala frequently to see girls. Me and cousins were fed with this parade of seeing brides and groom and wanted to get rid of it as the earliest. 

April I saw a girl (who is now my wife) and left things to destiny and my parents to decide. God knows what happened, within a month’s time my engagement was announced, with marriage in august. My cousins were very happy for me but I was worried for them. Soon after I got engaged, my cousin called to tell her marriage is also been fixed for September.

It was unbelievable, and out weeding days just had a difference of just 10 days. We got married and now we wanted out 3rd cousin to get settled as early as possible. Nothing was working out for him, even we left hope for it, then he called me to tell me that his wedding is scheduled of December. 

Our family members are very happy, they didn’t expect that all 3 of us would be married this year. I do believe in destiny but our marriages are a sheer example of it. All I can want now is that we 3 should lead a prosperous and happy married life with our respective partners.

May god shower his blessings on all 3 of us.
