Gurki Basra knows a thing or two about dating. She even starred in Season One of the Netflix show<a href='https://www.netflix.com/title/80204889'> Dating Around</a>, in which she went on a famously bad date. Her mother, Tanjeet Basra, on the other hand, had never been on a date, right up to the day she got married when she was 22, which also happened to be the day she met her husband for the first time.  Katie talks to Gurki about her parents' wedding and marriage, and the wisdom Gurki gained in watching the ultimate blind date evolve into a loving marriage.  Please visit the <a href='https://katiehafner.com/word-cloud/'>mother word cloud page</a> and contribute your own word to describe your mother.
