Success stories

When the search feels long, other people's stories help. Here are couples whose story started on ShadiMaker.

What it is

The success stories page has couples who met on ShadiMaker and went on to marry: how they sent the first interest, how their families got involved, and what they learned.

If your marriage was arranged here, send us your story, with a photo if you like. Our team reads it and asks your permission before publishing. Once it is published you receive points as a thank-you.

Besides stories, you can send a review of the site or an article about marriage. Good articles are published on the blog, and they earn points too.
