Marriages Are Made In Heaven

I still remember that day 
Just like another arranged marriage scenario 
Boys family was coming to see me

After they came elders said why don't you go in and talk 
we went in and talked about spiritualism 
He told me about his Guru and I  listened mesmerized
After they left everyone asked me you were talking for 45 minutes
What were you talking?
I was stunned
45 minutes had passed away like few seconds

When elders asked me what have you decided?
I said I am not sure
It seems too good to be true 
I can't believe it 
There must be some mistake in it 
He is so very much like me in thoughts and passions 
I am scared that I will be making a hasty decision 
All laughed at me

Next day he came with his sister to meet me 
He gave me a book to read.

A day later I was jittery 
They had not yet called up and said yes 
What if they didn't like me?
Everyone said if it were a no he will not gift you a book
I was not sure

Finally by the end of the day they called up to say yes
I jumped in joy 
It seemed like a dream come true

Afterwards when all asked me details of his looks I had no answer
I hadn't noticed
I didn't know how much he earned 
I didn't know anything much about him yet was overjoyed to be marrying him

Now my husband says moment I saw you I had decided 
It was love at first sight for me
You won me over by your enchanting smile 

It is said marriages are made in heaven 
I believe now!
