With Valentine’s Day just round the corner, couples in Ranchi have already made plans to celebrate the day of love with their better halves. From picking the perfect gift to planning an evening by themselves, everything has been arranged to celebrate the special day.
For Geetanjali and Rimanshu Hirani who got married 10 years back, everyday is special. “We had an arranged marriage and it was not love at first sight for us. In an arranged marriage, it takes time to like and love each other and also discover each other’s qualities. We never were the romantic couple like they show in Bollywood movies. On February 14, to make the day special, I have ordered a gift for her online along with some flowers,” said Rimanshu.
Priyansha and Abhyuday Dizit, who were in a long distance relationship for a few years before tying the knot, believe that they don’t need a specific day to celebrate love. “Since we are both professionals and February 14 happens to be a working day, we plan to go out for dinner post work. We are not able to spend too much or put in too much effort so we would just love to spend some quality time with each other. We don’t believe in celebrating one day to express our love but since it’s a trend, we just go for a fancy dinner,” said Priyansha.
“For us Valentine’s Day is no different than any other day. We have a habit of picking flowers for each other on random days and that’s what is more special for us.
But to do something on February 14, we might go out for dinner to a place not very crowded.
It’s been three since we got married and it’s been a beautiful journey so far,” said Paridhi and Atul Drolia who too had an arranged marriage.
Shrinkal Shree and Rahul Anand had been in a relationship for the past six years and recently got married in November 2019. “Before we got married, on our first Valentine’s Day we were in a long distance relation. I had sent him personalized gifts while he had sent me flowers with my favorite chocolates. Post our marriage, this is our first Valentine together. Since we both are very fond of Chinese, we will go to BNR for a nice dinner,” said Shrinkal.
