An Amazing 5 Day Indian Wedding in Dubai
In all the beautiful ways that the universe works, Kam and João’s were destined to cross paths unknowing that their pathways to a beautiful journey of forever has already begun long before they knew each other! João lived in Portugal while Kam was staying in London and they were miles away from each other but, somehow, they found their way to each other.
Kam, born and brought up in a residence of a Sikh Indian family moved to Dubai to follow her career only to have Joãoa also receive an opportunity in Dubai and chase down the same path.
On an evening in 2018, in a conscious effort of trying to meet someone, Kam came across João’s profile on Inner Circle. The conversation got rolling and they met after a lot of exchange of emails. João could be seen on cloud 9 but Kam’s heart felt a miss of beat. Rescued by a friend who suggested Kam give it another chance led to the second date Kam wasn’t too convinced of. The universe worked its way in this one and the pieces joined. And that’s it, there was no looking back. Head over heels in love, the two found a common language of love, they both knew this was it.
Decided to tie the knot at the age of 40, breaking barriers of stereotypes that try convincing generations to be married at a certain age. Bold and beautiful, the two only decided to tie the knot when it felt right. Age is just a number; Kam and Joao tell us through their journey.
