Salma&Athul

Our Story

How it began

Our story that began with a beautiful arranged marriage proposal, lovingly brought together by our families. Although miles apart—Salma working in Saudi Arabia and Athul in Malta — we first knew through video calls. Every conversation made us feel a little closer, even before we met in person. Our first meeting happened in Kottayam, where we had gone to attend our pre-marriage class. On a cool, peaceful morning at 5:00 AM, after Salma's overnight bus journey from Kanhangad, Athul was waiting at the bus stop with a smile. That quiet sunrise, the fresh morning breeze, and the joy of finally meeting made it a moment we'll always cherish. Started with our families' blessings soon became a journey of friendship, love, and togetherness—and now, we're excited to begin the rest of our lives as one.
