I met my wife while I worked 9 months in India. We were 15 points (86% upvoted)
married within 6 months of meeting each other because we had
shortlink: https://redd.it/c995bf
such a natural connection. She is born and raised in India and I
am US born and raised.

I am actually waiting in an airport to go back to India with my

whole family so we can have a huge wedding ceremony since
our first was only a civil marriage.

No, my heritage is European. Her parents are very progressive, which is
