wealthiest people live why do they keep such a low profile me have a snoop around to catch a glimpse. of her talking to. the disc of the super rich starts to tip doubling. in india marrying for love is unusual most marriages are arranged by the parents. she was also very clear that he's my only son and i will find the wife for myself. for company i had something different in mind the woman of his dreams mario lives in southern germany. along the way they spent 8 years in a long distance relationship and called off the wedding and look if they want to be

able to travel here without a visa. you know all the states that it was a shock at 1st i didn't know what we should say about it all. gabriele is from bangalore india he came to birth world in southern germany to study at university for 3 months that's where he and mario met maria knew gabriella would be returning home soon and that a long distance relationship would be madness but love won out over reason 2nd spot and the next i fell in love with his smile right away. and we just clicked immediately he was so cosmopolitan so well read and very charming sets on minds i did meet all of my friends. she's looking very busy that i figured out that

she loved to get to see it for she was a good people she studied a good go to us so that all goes well but in case i she was of course i was and it was stopped at a lot of soft speaking chad. at the end of the summer gabriele had to return to india the young couple found themselves separated by 7000 kilometers for years they yearned to be together not knowing where their relationship would take. mario went to visit company in india and stayed for several weeks she returned the following year and the year after that she dreamed of sharing her life with cumbria but his parents were already looking for a wife for their only son. some 90 percent of marriages in india are arranged by the parents. please keep in mind that you if you need to have

a gun for something please don't bring out a cold one there you don't think about mattered because then the one who would be saving their life for you. gabriele hid his relationship with mario from his parents for 7 years they didn't know he had a german girlfriend. he didn't want to upset his parents who hold fast to indian customs and traditions. she would go to church every sunday and people day would suggest she would see somebody who is interested in a manager who has a grown up daughter are you interested should be speak to them and so i would say no also then she would send me some pictures or some things book profiles audit. me the name of the girl and ask me to go and check on facebook. a suitable wife would come from the same social class and the same religion. was determined to follow his heart. several times

a week. can you hear me can you hear me. i can hear myself the 4 and a half hour time difference is one problem when mario gets home from work it's 10 o'clock at night in bangalore. are they. ok. now i'm like i had 2 courses and now i'm back it wasn't any relationship because a lot of fame's. you know what you need is to directly chat to a person or talk to a person or. things like that hold hands at times and like that and you know always on being on the phone doesn't help when it's not like it's only for some small time you know might be it will go on like this for a year to look for once and i'll be there and if i. come to bangalore we can make some plans. it makes things

difficult and then you also start thinking does it really make sense late any might be here with me next to me to share my problems and only talking over the weekend really doesn't help yeah it's always difficult to have a long distance relationship so caring 2 more in the biz. but we can skype on the weekend for some more time you can tell me about your 2nd exam was so. good i'm to . learn what night. good night my. body and gabrielle have decided to take the plunge they want to live together and get married. marty a sister already knows about the marriage plans body has decided it's now also time to tell her parents she wonders how they'll greet the news about a son in law from another country and culture or ago marty is mother has always found the idea of maintaining a long distance relationship for years on end rather peculiar. on how because it

is time i told her i didn't really understand it they don't ever see each other how does that even work they can't even have a coffee together they never see each other as a mother i couldn't understand it would seem. right that. we were worried that he wouldn't come here and she would go there for us as parents that would be. you might be 8 on the ball in the sticky hands are always happy when children strike out on their own but that doesn't mean they want to have to travel of 11000 kilometers to visit them. and the thought also struck me oh my god if she has children i might only see my grandchildren once a year then what are the thoughts on this. this isn't it julie this last was.

actually friends in china to my maria is someone who knows her own mind and makes her own decisions she won't be talked out of it if this is what she wants then of course she has my support. because i told them i've loved him from the start and that hasn't changed he's the one i want my mr right just apathetic to get this body his mind is made up she will marry on that stage i was very surprised and i thought to myself oh dear my mom would have had my mother was worried because there's a big cultural difference between india and germany. in and watch this and she worried that he'd move here and wouldn't have a job yet and might be a financial burden on me. hard but i am also touchingly that. in bangalore gabriele had his own problems to contend with marrying for love would mean turning his back on prediction his parents who are devout christians had

always hoped that their only son would see reason and accept the wife they chose for him. they were not at all happy and then mom was really most outgoing in saying that this cannot happen. when people see you want to live to see what the lord you know this cannot happen how can you do something like this if you want to miss and our language we want to understand that you were in this and that food nor a lot of drama like the modern bone but i've been one month and a half you know. and then everybody crying in the. it is very difficult because in india what happens is you have to convince also a lot of people you have no not of people's abilities you have never spoken to who would call you up suddenly this is really upset we had upset about this you know they would see that you have to change your division you know the thing about your mom she's playing and leading me she's getting warned to be you want her to suffer . the doubts always come up in mine because the

100 people calling you will be putting sting you that you know does not rape but i want to speak to unit me give you a little bit of why. i really didn't believe in the audience value system so i was really surprised at how can people live together and be together and so i always believed that you know you should before getting married get to know a person because it's. and if you. but i was also strong i said that whatever it is i will go by this and i have decided to go by this. governor liz visiting germany for the 1st time since attending university here she's planning to ask to use parents for her hand in marriage. but he still speaks very little german. i was a little nervous initially because i always heard learned the sentencing judge would ask him guns like we've practiced the sentence quite

a bit and now he just wants to get it over with german isn't easy for him to know give across a little strict space leads you might be more careful less to the guys that are you don't know things like that. and be simple i don't question them i did suspect something was going on maria told us they were coming over and they might have something to tell us. so i immediately thought they wouldn't say that unless they had some sort of plan in mind. as the way the night. marty is parents are still a bit worried about whether a cross cultural marriage like this will work and a lot of this. came up ok mom a puppet gabrielle and i want to ask you something you know you know mama hello papa. i'm here today to ask you for your daughter's hand in marriage and i hope you

give us your blessing. yes but she is like you. are you. thinking that when you but you mustn't move away. nor would you have you know because i do still worry that they might move away but as a mother of course i want them to have a lovely future together and a wonderful life. knowing god but i'll have to go back to bangalore to return to germany permanently you'll need a visa that will permit him to marry he still has plenty of time but getting the beezer poses an enormous bureaucratic hurdles even more than you maria realize. her home audio is organizing the wedding on her own she's been saving up for a while and has taken out a small loan and they still have 7 months to handle all the formalities but german

authorities have sent them a checklist of all the documentation they'll need to provide. you know which gabriele has to provide a document certifying that he's not married it's a major hurdle once they've submitted all the forms the regional court will examine them and issue a ruling this fall this weight is the worst possible by far we submit original documents and don't know what will happen to them months pass and you start to think this is just can't be happening like this. before offices i asked them do you give a little leg nor we don't do anything of this sort if you are mad you can for example be needed i think for this single that if you get a letter but floated have a good day i said if you're mad and you have a history of medics then we have a proof of your marriage certificate but if you're not then we don't have anything like that. meanwhile the wedding date is around the corner and gabriele still

doesn't have the visa that will allow him to marry in germany many original documents seem caught in limbo somewhere on the route from india to germany. entire process has stalled. decided their only hope is to apply for an ordinary visa they spend their time going to government offices and filling out forms. and i had a huge plate discussions in discussions she said go to this office and get better i said there is no office leg give me a bed i'm single 2 weeks before the wedding is still in india with no visa in sight but hasn't given up hope she's at the hairdresser trying out the hairstyle and makeup she plans to wear on the big day if it doesn't come through the wedding won't happen something doesn't even want to think about.

islam talk for a day like this i think it's fine to blab adopt a bit. o. someone's calling of course my sweetheart but. i do. yeah and middle of this thing way i. it's terrible news. gabriele's visa application was turned down. the german embassy refused to grant it without even giving a reason. i can hardly believe it. the wedding has to be called off. saw i'm shocked. it's a financial blow to. several 1000 euros a down the drain. in. the 2 of us were for most of the bill for the wedding. so it's really rough. now.

mario and forms all the guests at the wedding is off and cancels all the events the church and the civil ceremony the reception. ringback the restaurant owner requires a 50 percent cancellation fee. was very upsetting and also i had resigned from my job at that point of things i need. to do not because the plan was to come. 9 9 9 close friends got their visa and it's too late to cancel their flights they're making the trip any. money any cern's to spend the 6000 euros he'd saved for the wedding 100 guests from. a and we were really upset as to when then because there were. how many really happened they called in the things she fulfilled.

their relationship is faced many obstacles the long distance the cultural differences but it was parents who had hoped for a different kind of daughter and. in the end it's the german bureaucracy that poses the biggest hurdle even bigger than the thousands of kilometers. it separate them. i was really scared that what would happen that you know i would not be able to get work and would meet again and things like that so yeah it was a little difficult situation there's a celebration but no groom mario is crushed but tries to make the best of it. one year later gabriele is back in germany and maria has another appointment to try out her hairstyle for the back of it was a one off. this time they booked a different reception at a different restaurant. you'll be making your entrance from up there we've got the

space outdoors for an operative or you can have it in here we still have to talk to the service manager about how we want to set up the buffet usually we line up the tables in a huge shape. i am of the type that marty is handling the last organizational details with the restaurant manager. she wants it all to be perfect. or he's hosting all the relatives from india for a job or his parents it's their 1st trip abroad. so the photos every day there's. the barbecue exhibit this is the readings is this ok. everything is perfect. dressing up and buying new things. living with maria in her small one bedroom apartment. that work takes over here at home it's a big change for. india we have many people who do this kind of work the

cleaning for example or washing your car. here in germany you do it all yourself i think that's good but sometimes it isn't easy. and you probably must be the only problem we have is this apartment is a bit small for 2 people but apart from that i'm surprised by how smoothly it's all going i have lived alone for a while and i'm used to being the boss here at home. and i'm pretty picky about my decor and keeping everything neat and tidy i tell him watch out with that plate and cup him tell our. madea is independent and open you needed and that takes some getting used to see that a lot and i was a late bed but now i'm here and i know how to play you know to listen to it or to say what she did say to or to do what she says because she's really good with things. gabriele has big plans he wants to further improve his german get his

driver's license and find a job but 1st he another year more get married tomorrow. governor his parents are on their way to the wedding. it's the 1st time they've traveled outside of india. and now they're here in germany where their only son will be making his new home. and. he's turned his back on indian tradition and on their plans for his future. they're still very concerned about what the future might hold time means again. is coming or coming but if nobody has known me and gave me my feelings you want me to . come on give them to me. if they don't want to lose their son they have little choice they have to accept god it was decision and give the marriage their blessing. to god it was friends

from india are also here. the church ceremony is about to begin. to think what will the indian guests think about german customs and traditions. but big day is finally here even oh i'm so excited i haven't cried yet i plan to cry tomorrow morning now i'm worried i might burst into tears now just. each a few days ago gabriele's relatives. we're still in bangalore today they are surrounded by strangers who will soon be family. gathered to say that it's ok to get everybody into that nice it's all good but the governor has friends around gar approves of the cross cultural marriage it's a challenge for sure it's

a hurdle but yet every challenge you take it makes you stronger it makes you more come together so i don't think the 2nd difficult issues are real challenges and all of them come together with the world cup coming all the sudden just it's going to go down so the more they were caught now the made the point is that so and all you need is love so that's what makes it perfect. sync markers basilica is germany's largest baroque church it's rather different from gabriele's family who's familiar with from back home. oregon has russian roots and does her best to make the guests from abroad feel welcome gabriele's parents are having to make a major adjustment in india and their daughter in law would traditionally become part of their household and help care for them in their old age that generational contract has been broken.

instead all guy will have her daughter and son in law nearby. mario and gabriella have decided to make their home in germany. take this ring as a symbol of your love and devotion give this ring to the groom and repeat after me in the name of the father the son and the holy spirit. in the name of the father the son and the holy spirit. i give each other your right hand. after all the difficulties they've had to go through gabriele and mario want their wedding to be a sign of things to come a peaceful and happy life together. and now

it's time for the reception. but 1st comes the wedding portrait very little about this wedding is familiar to gabriele's family. weddings in india are huge celebrations with hundreds and sometimes even thousands of guests german traditions are rather unfamiliar but gabriele sister taiba is enjoying herself. it's kind of different for indians because indians are no good going to believe it's inevitable but go take your you know did you see each other didn't know each other. back in india we do not drink with bet it ends we do not each other and just as the couple certain things are not that in india but you know when you come to the country you see how generous people are and this is compassion it. doesn't matter. for governors parents the wedding is bittersweet

look after our mother i'm his mother and he's leaving me but only one sorry have only one sonic. or i'm going to say that the 5 year. i said to him you can marry maria. might be out but you should settle in india are more possible that was not possible but maria's family is very good news we will. all those challenges that now what in 6 months now we understand each other very well i understand the culture here how it is how things actually understand how my

things work so we don't need to do daily each other you have to take this so she understand i understand so it's going to be smooth from no. mario and gabriele hope that his parents are coming to accept the fact that he married for love rather than tradition. tomorrow the newlyweds will start looking for a new apartment gabriele will look for a job. there are signs that gabriele as parents have started to come around as mothers seems keen to see things work out. the obvious as we are us being able to do something in the kitchen of cook when she's back to see that there's me all the day all these things so if you take water guns and about her that means you know that i was me have you said you live now you will create a legacy of peace she would get so yeah that's what i'm starting there's simply

radiant with love and happiness and i'm the happiest mother in the world's. improbable romance south are all the waiting the tears and disappointments. have made it happen.
