  • Today meet Snehal and Kevin @gujugirl411! Snehal is Indian and her husband is Kevin is Black. They met through mutual friends and fell in love shortly thereafter. Snehal remembers vividly, telling Kevin that they would never be able to marry because her parents would not understand. As a result, Kevin insisted for them to continue dating and was ok risking everything for their love and so was she. After 2 years of dating in secret, Snehal decided enough was enough and she went home and told her parents about Kevin. The first words out of her dad’s mouth after she told him she was dating and in love with a Black man were, “Cool, bring him over for a beer.” Snehal was stunned. 😲 Her parents and extended family welcomed Kevin with open arms and it has been a dream ever since. This year they will be celebrating their 15th year of marriage. 🎉Together Kevin and Snehal have 3 beautiful boys and are a proud #Blindian family. Their advice for other couples is to: ❣️Be honest with yourself. ❣️Marry someone who builds you up, who enhances who you are. They will be your partner, your best friend, and your co-parent should you have kids. ❣️Marriage is not always easy. It is tough sometimes, challenging, and exhausting. Snehal and Kevin's favorite quote that they live by is “Marriage is about falling in love over and over again, always with the same person.” 🙌🏾 💯my husband and I couldn’t agree more Snehal and Kevin about this quote. What do you think? If only all multicultural love stories were so delightful, right?! Thank you both for writing and sharing. Swipe to see another picture of their handsome sons!😍😍😍

  • Today meet Shruthi Baskaran and Bankole Makanju! Shruthi @urbanfarmie is Tamil, and her fiancée, Bankole is Nigerian. They met at a mutual friend's birthday party in Seattle, Washington. Shruthi was living in San Francisco, California at the time, and had flown in for the party. As cliche as it sounds, it was love at first sight for them and that was three years ago. In November 2020, Bankole and Shruthi got engaged at a lovely little cabin in Southern Washington, and plan to get married in India next year in Chennai, India (which is also Shruthi’s hometown). #VanakkamWahala Shruthi and Bankole’s advice for other couples is: ❣️Over-communicate. They often found that their "default" position on things was wildly opposite from each other. So, if and when they made assumptions on how someone would "normally" react, it just led to trouble. So, they learned early on to communicate their assumptions openly and over time, this has been pivotal for strengthening their relationship. ❣️Be patient with your families. As with many interracial couples, the road to getting their families on board was, mildly put, not easy. Shruthi sometimes feels like they went through the seven stages of grief with their families. But the mantra they held was patience and persistence. It was important for them to come together on the fact that they all wanted the same thing at the end of the day - their happiness. Both Bankole and Shruthi had to give their families time to let go of the vision they held for their children, and accept them for who they are. Ultimately they had to realize that Bankole and Shruthi make each other happy and support each other and nothing else matters.  ⏭Swipe to see another picture of them in traditional Nigerian clothing! 🤩 What did you think about their advice? The part about feeling like they went through the seven stages of grief with their families is too relatable. Don’t you just love seeing the celebration of both cultures—#namastewahala vibes anyone? Congratulations Bankole and Shruthi on your upcoming nuptials! #beautifulcouple #love
