It is said that when you finally find your person, it’s going to feel like walking into a house and knowing immediately that you are home. Poornima & Aweinash met on Aisle amid the pandemic and they knew almost instantly the connection they shared was one of a kind.
Although meeting in person seemed nearly impossible during the time, the couple had their first date in a car. “Whilst on our way to the sunset spot I was trying to make Poorni feel comfortable so I offered her to connect her phone to my car’s stereo so she could play music she liked and not have to put up with rock songs from my tracklist. But she was being kind and understanding and tried all her best to keep me comfortable. I really wanted to make our first date a memorable one,” recalls Aweinash.
When they reached, the sky was already dark and most eateries had shut early due to the curfew. Poornima & Aweinash didn’t let that ruin their date and ended up sitting and talking on a staircase near her building. “Poorni opened up with her past experiences and I was not just listening to what she was saying but was also admiring her beauty; the way her side profile looked as she was sitting right next to me, the way her eyes gleamed in the orange radiant street light, the way her hands were resting crossed on her legs or sometimes her one hand supporting her chin. I didn’t realize it but I was slowly falling for her. Our conversations were as vivid as colors and as deep as the ocean”. narrates Aweinash.
The couple had a shared sense of familiarity as if they were long-lost friends and got so caught up in their conversation losing all track of time. Even though Poornima & Aweinash were so different from each other, they shared a mutual respect that made them appreciate each other even more. “I needed to think our relationship through and make a decision, So after our 3rd date, I had taken some time. I asked him what would happen if I said no and I was quick to notice that I meant so much to him, Aweinash had that fear of losing me and that was when I realized that I had fallen for him too,” says Poornima.
Poornima & Aweinash decided to inform their families about their relationship. Both families were happy upon hearing the news and met soon after. “We spent a lot of time together, we didn’t get a chance to go out to restaurants so we just went grocery shopping or to the dairy together. I opened up to Aweinash about my past and he accepted me for who I am and saw through who I truly was. He was sure about me right from the very start and that’s what I appreciate about him the most. Even though we are different people we share a mutual respect for our differences and that is what is unique about our relationship” says Poornima.
Marriage was always in the cards for Poornima & Aweinash. It was when Poornima had deleted all the dating apps with Aweinash’s help that he realized that this was her saying yes to him. The couple tied the knot in November 2021 and looks forward with joy to the future they share.
Aisle wishes the best of luck to this beautiful couple!
