June 4, 2012 

Jonathan's dad, uncle and aunt were coming over to check me out. My email conversation with my best friend went like this (timings are off because my gmail has changed time zones):

Found that email lying in my inbox :-) The email is funny and it holds my attention and I don't lose interest.. which is a really good sign :-D.

I was wearing a spongebob squarepants t shirt the entire day. Jonathan and I were furiously texting each other and he suddenly asked if I wanted to skype. I agreed but told myself that I refuse to change into a nice outfit and get all dolled up for some guy and that if it was meant to be he'd love me despite my quirky T shirts :-P. So I stayed in my spongebob T, much to his amusement :-D.  The skype session went unbelievably well. We both signed out feeling .. different :-).

 I'm leaving for Kenya today for 10 days. We both realize we won't be able to speak to each other for these 10 days so Jonathan confesses what he feels for me, finally!

6/15/12 1:47:36 PM: Jonathan Raj: Since our first Skype session, I honestly had this crazy feeling that Friday night that I couldn't shake off. Haven't had that feeling since high school. Freaked me out honestly. I feel there is a lot of electricity between us and it makes me excited. On top of that, it's really hard to get you out of my head.  So there you go, that's a peek in side doc bollywooods heart :) .

I board the plane feeling ecstatic :-). I feel the same way. 

Ten days later, after no contact with him (which was awful!!),  I am more than a 100% sure that he's the one I want to marry.

Jonathan sends me an itinerary 'by mistake' with details about his surprise visit in 'november'. I get really suspicious, email it to my cousin Anisha and we analyze it with a fine tooth comb and finally conclude that it's fake and that he is visiting much sooner. But I'm still scared to believe that he'll be here soon just in case the nov itinerary really isn't fake at all.

Jonathan lands up in my house on a surprise visit!!! I wasn't exactly clueless about his coming because there were a few giveaways (like my mom furiously cleaning the house .. lol!) but I still wasn't 100% sure just in case he didn't come. I barely slept that night.. I was texting him literally every five mins (he got wi fi on the plane so I don't get suspicious).  And there he was in the morning :') .  That night he proposed to me at the Hilton with a diamond ring and a 100 roses :-).

And the rest, as they say, is history :-) .
