Several Bollywood movies and other regional movies of our states typically portray the exact scenes of an arranged marriage meeting between two families. Most of the customs and habits have never gotten old but some are changing with time. Let’s check what generally happens when two families decide to meet to discuss the prospective matrimony between their son and their daughter.

1. With the majority of the families, the boy’s family mostly visits the girl and her parent in their house. Nowadays, it is also seen that they mutually meet up in a restaurant or at a resort for their first meeting, and then when talks progress, they plan on visiting each other’s houses.

2. Besides the immediate members of the family, you are likely to witness mediating members or extended family being available. This includes some little children who run around the place and add spirit to the gathering. You also may see the friends of the girl / the boy trying to steal glances for their friend involved in this whole arranged marriage meeting.

3. A wide array of food and snacks are the highlight of most arranged marriage meetings – the samosas, kachoris and the bajjiyahs are sure to keep the tummies happy of all who have collected for this event.

4. The formal walk-in of the girl with the tea tray is such a filmy sight in these meetings but luckily families are growing away from this. The girls of today are spirited and happy – they sit along with the others and comfortably be in conversation with the boy and his family.

5. The ‘must’ talk in privacy for the boy and the girl so that they can get to know each other – isn’t this still mandatory happening? Oh yeah! But we must agree to the fact that the girls and boys of today treat this quite casually and are seen to have a healthy, enjoyable, and friendly conversation with one another.

6. Finally, the typical farewell greetings and ‘we’ll let you know in a few days’ exchanges – the curtain comes down there.
