Basil and Sruthi’s m4marry love story, rooted in togetherness
Some soulmates are meant to be. Two people finding each other from afar. But finding in each other everything they had been waiting for. That’s how Basil Jacob, a management professional from Kothamangalam, and Sruthi, a young academic, found each other, through m4marry. They tied the knot on 17th May, 2025, blessed by their families and friends.
When Basil created his profile on m4marry, he was wishing for a partner who could be his biggest ally, someone who would give him unstinting support and be an honest critic, someone who he would know to be truly his family. Then he met Sruthi on m4marry. At first, he thought she might be quiet and studious. But over conversations, he learnt how she truly was: bubbly, bold, fun and full of life. Yet, she was also a responsible, family-orientated person, deeply spiritual.
They met each other together with their families two months later. But it was at a quiet moment when they were alone that Shruthi felt the rightness of their togetherness. Challenges were part of the journey, but true commitment means finding a way to resolve them. They had a lot of common interests to bind them together; they were both raised on faith, had strong family ties and were IITians. But there were also distinct personalities, each with differing opinions. Their differences became their complementary strengths.
Their families cheered and supported the couple all through the wedding planning. Shruthi put her heart and soul into making the wedding beautiful; from the décor to the dresses, her personal touch was everywhere. Their engagement was celebrated in the Malabar Christian style, while the wedding was in the Central Kerala Christian style, a lovely blending of regional customs. The most touching moment at the wedding was when Shruti joined Basil’s family, stepping into a new chapter, with Basil gently reassuring her that it was not leaving one family; it was simply gaining another.
To Basil, Shruithi was a tower of strength, supportive and compassionate. Their love story is anchored on strong foundations of mutual respect and love, and they are full of gratitude for m4marry for connecting them. “m4marry helped us meet people with similar values and vision, whom we might not have met otherwise.” Their advice to others searching for love is heartfelt: “Talk, connect, and truly understand each other."
