Sometimes, love doesn’t arrive with fireworks and grand gestures. Sometimes, it walks in quietly on a lonely evening, when you least expect it - but most need it. That’s how it began for Sita.
At 29, Sita was done with the dead ends and detours of modern dating. The casual chats, the lack of alignment, the constant sense of something missing - it was all exhausting. She knew exactly what she wanted: someone spiritual, someone health-conscious, and someone who was truly ready for commitment. But where does one find all that in one person?
After trying traditional matrimonial platforms and feeling disappointed, Sita found herself on the Play Store one evening and came across Aisle. She created a profile but didn’t pay much attention to it initially. Work kept her busy, and the app sat idle. Until one evening - lonely, quiet, and heavy - she decided to give it a real shot.
She paid for the subscription and was surprised to see a string of unread messages waiting for her - including one from a familiar face. “I think I know you,” she messaged back to a simple ‘hi’. And she did. Pratham was someone she had briefly connected with five years ago, but the conversation had fizzled out. Fate, however, had other plans.
What started as a few messages quickly turned into a conversation that flowed effortlessly. Within three hours, Sita and Pratham felt a connection neither of them expected. That very day, they decided to meet in person. A movie, a meal, and what was meant to be a short meeting turned into Sita skipping work and spending the whole day with someone who felt oddly familiar yet excitingly new.
Sita was cautious, though. She’d been through enough to know not to get swept up too easily. But Pratham was different. He spoke her language - of spirituality, discipline, and sincerity. He was a fitness trainer, calm in his presence, clear in his intentions, and as emotionally grounded as she had always hoped her partner would be.
By the second day, he had met her mom. And by the end of the first month, they were married.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing. Her parents didn’t agree initially because of astrological mismatches. But Pratham stood by her unwaveringly. When Sita moved in with him before marriage, he proposed in the most heartfelt way - buying her a dress, a ring, and planning a simple yet beautiful temple wedding just the way she had dreamt: under the eyes of Shiva, her spiritual anchor.
“He put in more effort than I did,” Sita recalls with a smile. “While I was still unsure, he was sure for the both of us. I’ve never met anyone who puts his heart and soul into things like he does.”
Today, two years into their marriage, they live a life rooted in small, intentional acts of love. They don’t do traditional date nights or grand routines. What they do have is presence. Daily hugs. Glances between work meetings. The quiet comfort of knowing the other person is truly there.
Sita, who went through a difficult phase with her health, recovering from spine surgery, feels like life gave her a second chance. “His presence healed me in a way no medicine could. I see girls obsess over their partners, but in my case, he’s the one more obsessed with me,” she laughs.
“Aisle isn’t like the other apps,” Sita says. “It’s not casual like dating apps, and not overly formal like matrimonial sites. It’s where people are serious about finding love - but they’re also open to discovering it organically.”
Yes, they are, Sita! We wish this beautiful couple a lifetime of happiness, hugs, and a life that feels slow and warm!
