Raina & Sundeep Are on the Same Track

 Sunny: "I first noticed Raina when we both worked at the call centre. I always thought she was very pretty but I was too shy to talk to her. Fast forward to 2010 and a friend of mine asked me when I was going to get married and I jokingly said when you find me a girl. The next day she said I found you a girl... When I picked her up for our first date, I thought wow she is still so beautiful. After meeting my drunken friends on our second date I thought she would never talk to me again! Well she did and we have been joined at the hip ever since... After meeting my family and all of my friends properly we all agreed that she is as beautiful a person on the inside as the outside. She is my perfect match... I love her with all my heart and I look forward to growing old with her. P.S. Whitney I still owe you a brownie for setting us up!"

   Raina: "Sunny and I first met when I was in Grade 12. Well I wouldn’t really call it a meeting. I used to work at the call centre for Pizza Hut and so did he. He would talk to everyone but me! I thought he came across as conceited and arrogant. Well anyways we lost touch as we both moved on to pursue other things. Out of sight, out of mind… Years later, I had graduated University and a mutual friend of ours asked if I would be willing to meet this really nice guy! And I thought “Hmm, why not?” So we went on our first date to Moxie’s and both of us were nervous even though we wouldn’t admit it. When it came time to order dinner I ordered Penne Chicken without the Penne! HUH? I meant to say without the Chicken as I’m a vegetarian. How embarrassing for a first date! We both laughed it off and have laughed about it ever since. Our second date, I met all of his friends and we have been inseparable ever since. Sunny is like a fairy tale come true. He really is my knight in shining armour:

 .... my Sun when clouds are gray. Look at me, I’m so in love with him that I’m starting to spout romantic poetry, LOL. I know that he will treat me like a princess for all my days to come. What more could a girl ask for?"
