Where did you meet?: We met in the last semester at college. It was definitely love at first sight like in the Bollywood movies.

Where did he propose?: Kamal made me wait a long, long time, but it was definitely worth the wait. He got me the most amazing bling a girl can ask for, and to top it off he proposed with a Range Rover with "marry me?" written on the windshield.

While we wish all our readers a very Happy New Year 2012 we are back with a brand new love story. This is the story of an Indo-Pak love journey that was started by Beena Yusuf Bali and Sunny Bali some three years ago. Their journey began as they got introduced by mutual friends, but who knew that a simple chat over skype and several exchange of emails will turn this into a love at first sight affair.

"On our first meeting when Sunny said “lets do this” I knew that he was definitely the one. He surprised me and swept me off my feet by just uttering those simple words. Three years later we are here married and all ready to start on with this journey," shares Beena.

Beena Ali hails from a reputed South Asian family with high family values who was most definitely raised like a princess. "My parents have not spoiled me, but pampered me for sure. I feel like a princess at home," says Beena. So for the princess the wedding had to be special. The wedding is one of the most memorable events in every girl's life and she wanted it no different. "I would love to relive that moment with my husband again. It was classy, elegant, and intimate," she says.

Where did you meet?: We met at Jaina (Jain conference) on a cruise in Los Angeles.

First date: First date was on South Mountain in Arizona - we went hiking and then had frozen yogurt at Yogurtland,

Our Song: We have two - one English and one Hindi. “Forever” by Chris Brown is our English song and “Hadippa” from Dil Bole Haddipa (the 1st Hindi movie we saw together!).

Where did you meet?: We met in Dallas at our medical school orientation, which oddly enough was at a water park.

Most Memorable moment?: A few weeks before we officially started dating we went to a grocery store at two in the morning to take a break from studying the night before a med school test, we had a great time.

Most Romantic Gift?: It still has to be the engagement ring, I love it.

Our Song: "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" by Death Cab.

Where did he propose?: On the shores of Lake Travis in Austin.

Honeymoon Spot?: On hold for the moment because of work, but we were able to go to Bali this past summer before the wedding.

I have been dating a great guy whom I care about for the past couple of months, and I think it has potential. I don't know how many relationships he's had in the past, and even though it won't affect how I feel about him, I would like to have at least a ballpark figure. I want to know if I need to let him take things slowly because he might be a little inexperienced or if he's had a lot of dating experience. I’m thinking that by knowing his dating past, it will give me a decent sense of his mindset at this point.

So, assuming it’s a worthwhile thing to do at this point, how exactly should I go about figuring out his past dating experience?

Everyone loves a perfect love story, and why not? It brings joy, happiness and hope. This holiday season Ruchi Mukherjee host of Lights Camera Action brings to you our very first 'A Wedding Story'. A true story that will make you fall in love!

This love story started not too long ago on a bus trip for the Directions and Assistance Committee for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Even though their communication was delayed a bit, she got Travis's attention right away. "I am normally pretty outgoing, but he was really cute, so I was feeling a bit shy," chuckles Noreen. "The only thing that I managed was ‘want some broccoli,'" she adds.

Finally with the help of a common friend, Travis managed to meet Noreen. Although the bus ride ended that day, who knew that it was just the beginning of a much longer journey, as they had found the love of their lives. Travis, who was right away very attracted to the tall beauty, grabbed every chance to know her better and move the relationship forward to something more meaningful.

This black and white girls night party heated up as 50+ guests showed up in their Chanel best with sexy lace tutu dresses, pearls, and designer accessories. Mandy had gone all-out to decorate her place for the perfect Chanel look with make-overs and make-up tips from professionals, a photo booth, mouth watering appetizers and the perfect pink cake with Coco Chanel logo. The hostess made a statement in her fishnet stockings and black lace mini dress.

The guests got to experience Chanel make-up tips from professional make-up artists as they informed that the look for this holiday season was porcelain skin, dark neutral eyes, red lips and light color blush. The room swelled up with a broad cultural array of guests who had also gathered to celebrate Connie Kwan-Wong's birthday. To some that was a pleasant surprise. Just like Mandy Kao, Connie is no stranger to charity and is at present busy working on her charitable foundation and was eager to announce a rare exciting evening of ballroom dance performances.
