Workflow

I found my soulmate from a renowned matrimonial agency. It was 6 years back when I saw her profile on the portal. But it wasn’t that easy as it sounds now. Before her, I had to meet 3 other girls and refuse them. When I was about to give up, the portal suggested to me her name profile. I contacted her, dated her for 1 month, the guardians met formally, and finally, the marriage took place.
