Tilak & VedaWe often hear that long distance relationships rarely work out. But the lesson we learned from Tilak and Veda is that long distance is not only a relative term, but the saving grace for their relationship.
Though they were both born in India, it was the move west that paved the way for their introduction. Veda came to the States early in her childhood where she settled with her parents in the Southeast. Years later Tilak came for a job and settled on the West Coast. After many years they were once again living in the same country, but still very far from each other.
The distance didn't initially cause problems for their meeting as they found each other on a dating website. After exchanging some messages online Tilak and Veda had their first phone conversation on Valentine's Day. They hit it off and decided to meet in person. They setup a meeting where Tilak traveled east again, but this time to Atlanta to meet Veda for the first time. He knew immediately that he had found his soul mate.
Tilak commented that it was their distance, and the need for ongoing conversations that helped deepen their relationship. Veda added that it was Tilak's understanding of their Western and Eastern cultures that really convinced her that Tilak was the one for her. After a few months Veda traveled west to California where Tilak arranged a beautiful proposal for her overlooking the ocean at Big Sur.
It was one last trip east for Tilak where he and Veda tied the knot in a beautiful setting in Atlanta. Watch their story and you'll see how long distance not only helped bring these two together but established the foundation for their relationship to thrive.
