Short length of courtship

[newonehere 7]

I met my husband on an online dating service. Aug 15 2012 was the first time we exchanged emails.

He too like me is Indian and Bengali , we were both born in Kolkata and he moved to the US in his teens. We did not know each other before.

He is 31 and I, 29 and apart from English we speak Bengali and Hindi too, and we have same religion.

He has extended family in West Bengal where my parents live.

We spoke on weekends every week for four months till December, and till we decided that we were fairly compatible, following which our parents introduced each other over Skype.

I had a Business travel to the US coming up which was for 3 weeks and we decided to meet each other then.

A months ish before my travel we decided to stop pursuing other people and focus on eachother. We did so, and met during on my B1 travel when I was on a training.

I liked him and his parents a lot and so did they. We decided to proceed forward with the wedding. We got married in April 2013 when he came to India .He filed in May.

We have been communicating every day twice a day over phone since, and skype on weekends.

This is not really a love inspired marriage and I cant pin point at what point I really did fall in love with my husband. But I do now love him very deeply.

I was 28 at then and wished to be married before 20 and having spent a year searching for the right person I felt that my husband had the qualities that would keep me happy.

We were both enrolled on a matrimonial website with the intent to get married and we did not have a very long courtship and in-time person , something that bothers me a bit now since we are in the filing process

Did any one else go through short length of courtship and arranged marriages?

It happens and is common in your culture, and you met several times. PLus, the visa process will take about a year so more opportunity to meet again. I think you'll be fine.
