Married 5 Years Today! The Journey & Wedding Photos

Today's Mr.CZ & I's (or mine's?*confused*) 5th Wedding Anniversary! Overall, 9th year together...Phew! I thought I'd share some of our Hindu wedding photos. These are screenshots from the wedding video, coz somehow we don't have the album & photos. 
Details on my bridal outfit here. Makeup done at Ambika Pillai Studio from a Senior MUA for Rs.8000 in 2007 (They've got the best highlighter- it's in glitter form like diamonds. Will find out and let you know!) I also did my own bridal look here
2003: Met. Dated.
2003-2007: Live-in relationship ("Salaam Namaste" phase in between, but minus the knocked-up heroine!)
2007- 20??: Married.
         * More about our love story here 
Sindoor (Vermilion). The mark of a married woman

With father-in-law

"It's not always rainbows and butterflies, it's compromise that moves us along." ~ She Will Be Loved, Maroon 5.
 It hasn't always been easy, and it needs work & patience Every. Single. Day!
But then.....
"A 'perfect' relationship is like plain vegetable soup - so healthy, so pleasant, so clean, so.... bland. Throw in some chilli, some pepper, some soya sauce, some secret ingredient, and it becomes something else.... something worth stirring.... something worth burning your tongue with."  ~ CZ.

    Punju meets North-East (sorry I do not know which state you are from so I have no choice but to generalize) - not a combination you come across every day :) So how did families react when you guys decided to tie the knot? And did you have to be all secretive about the salaam namaste phase? (I wish I had! I made this big Gandhian mistake of letting my parents know and it was fire and brimstone! I had to promptly stay put with them till they got me married off to him!)

    Anyway, drama and spicy soup apart - CONGRATS!! 5 years is indeed a milestone. I suppose now it is only fair that your blogger buddies b(l)og you down with the oh-so-ughtastic "When are you going the family way?" question. He he he.

      Hehe...it's Punju meets Khasi :) . Families were fine with the marriage, and Salaam Namaste phase wasn't that much of a secret and assumed since we both didn't live with families anymore.

      Family way? No idea! No time! :D

    Wow.. Such a love story, huh? :) You guys started dating in 2003, wow I was 16 then. I could only thought of such b'ful love story back then which actually happened to me few years later. I met my partner in 2008 and within six months of dating we moved together, but it wasn't salam namaste types as I was paying rent officially somewhere else also and I was going to stay with my flatmates once a month, for 1-2 weeks and rest of the time I was living in with him. I never let it become a full fledged live in for the fear of my family, was scared what if they find out. We lived in together for 1 and a half yrs before we married. It was such a beautiful feeling. We're married for 2 years now and my family still doesn't know. His family had some idea though as they couldn't think of any other reason why their son ditched his friends of 7 years and started living alone :D
    I wish you all the best to you guys, many more to go. Wish you a blessed life together :)

I ♥ finding little notes in my Vanity Case, so do drop one. I read all of them & I try my best to reply to each & every one of them [check back in 2-3 days =D] but most times it's physically impossible! Either way, I love to hear from you & really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts <3

Thank you for reading! :)
