A glimpse into some of our love stories

“I was 29, living in New York City, and people could not understand why I struggled to find the right person. After all, this was the singles capital of the world! I was a Wall Street banker, and after 6 years of unsuccessfully looking, falling in love and having my heart broken, I contacted Vows for Eternity. I am a successful professional and have always believed in the value that domain specialists bring to the table. I was introduced to someone in India, and I resisted talking for 3 months, but after constant prodding from the team (who believed we were a good fit), I did. We spoke once and then never stopped. Two trips to India and a 10-month courtship later, we were married. Today a lot has changed; we have moved to the suburbs because NYC isn't the most kid-friendly, and yes, we have two adorable little ones. It feels right! My family.” Investment Banker, New York, 32

“I grew up in Canada, and as a second-generation Canadian with Indian heritage, I was always very mindful of the political standing my father had painstakingly built. I was willing to give this whole personalized matchmaking a chance because, frankly, my options were very limited unless I was okay to put my life out there publicly. I wasn't. We did our due diligence, and whilst most of the feedback spoke highly of the service, some was negative. My father made me realise how that’s normal in everything that tends to have a higher emotional component to it. I can't stress enough how happy I am today that we trusted our instinct and went ahead. We did a long distance for ten months, and when we met for the first time, we both knew we had something special. I'm still getting used to being addressed as "my husband", but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.” CA, Toronto, 28

“When my marriage ended, I went through all the usual emotions: shame, anger, self-doubt. I also felt this panic… wondering if I’d ever be loved again. I was 42, and the pressure to bounce back felt overwhelming. I tried everything from dating apps to family recommendations and even a few online matchmaking services. VFE wasn’t my first choice — just the one I hadn’t tried yet. But from the very first call, something felt different. They weren’t trying to fix me or rush me. They just listened. No judgment, no pity, just immense space and kindness. For the first few months, nothing clicked. I assumed it wasn’t going to work. And then they introduced me to someone who, like me, had been through his share of life. It wasn’t instant. There were no fireworks. Just a calm, steady connection that kept growing. I didn’t think I’d get to feel that kind of love again, but I did. And now, when I look at him, all I feel is gratitude that I gave myself another chance.” Interior Designer, San Francisco, 45

“When your mother is a fiery Punjabi woman with zero filter, she’ll tell you when you’re being an idiot. So, when I turned 39 and was still dating aimlessly in NYC, she took matters into her own hands. I wasn’t against matchmaking, but I didn’t think I needed it. After all, I was a good-looking, well-to-do bachelor in the city of dreams. Why should I pay to find someone? But I agreed to the intake call, though I wasn’t expecting much. What stood out wasn’t the match itself, but the process. For the first time, I was asked what I wanted in a partner beyond just looks and ambition. They were interested in how I deal with problems, how I react when I’m upset, what makes me happy, and my attachment style. It felt real. Then came the match. A Himachali from London who wasn’t anything like I’d imagined. She was gentler, quieter, and very British – a stark contrast to my loud Punjabi family. But she challenged me in ways I didn’t know I needed, and I couldn’t have asked for anything else. It’s hard to believe we might never have crossed paths if I hadn’t signed up. We got engaged 4 months ago, and yes, my mom takes full credit.” Tech Entrepreneur, New York City, 41

“After being in the public eye for so long, you start becoming sceptical. You begin to wonder if everyone you meet is after something. Over time, you stop trusting your own judgment. I had heard of Vows For Eternity through a relative, but I never really considered using a matchmaker. That changed once I signed up. What stood out to me was the space they gave me to just be a person again, and not someone with a name or a reputation. Everything was discreet and low-key, which I really appreciated. I met three women through the service. While I didn’t feel a connection with the first two, I admired how none of them cared about my public persona or asked intrusive questions. The third date turned out to be everything I had forgotten I ever wanted. An absolute charm. It had been a long time since I had a date without any talk about work or my professional life, so it was really refreshing. She just wanted to know who I was when I wasn’t performing, and that meant everything.” TV Personality, Mumbai, 52

“I’ve always been a planner. The kind of person who loves their job, their routine, and their independence. Life in London was full. I was a brand director for a global fashion house, juggling deadlines and travel. But when I finally felt ready to make space for someone, I knew I didn’t want to leave it to chance, and that’s when I found Vows For Eternity. From the very first conversation, something just felt aligned. They weren’t transactional, and felt genuinely curious about who I was, what I valued, and how I saw partnership. And then came the match. He worked in climate tech, lived in Amsterdam, and had this quietly confident energy that completely disarmed me. I remember he asked me what my ‘ideal Sunday’ looked like, and we ended up talking for hours about the joy of doing absolutely nothing with the right person. There were no fireworks, just a feeling that I’ve somehow known this stranger forever. It’s wild how love can walk in when life already feels complete, and yet somehow make it even better.” Brand Director, London, 32
