Marriages in India are a gala affair. There are many celebrities which throng India for destination weddings.

Do you know in recent times the divorce percentages are becoming higher and higher in countries like Sweden and United States of America?

In an arranged marriage process the parents or the guardians of the bride and the bridegrooms announce through friends or also can do it through advertisements their preferences and needs. Then both the parents check all the quality, the qualification, the job and the financial status, and the most important thing they see is if the family background of the boy or girl and when everything suits according to their taste then both the families exchange the pictures or videos of their son or daughter. If they like the person in the picture then the families meet in private maybe in the girl's home or in some public places. At this time both the girl and boy would talk, spend some time together and share their interests and when everything is finalized then they get engaged in a color filled ceremony.

In India the girls get married mostly by the age of eighteen to twenty five. The basic things that the girl or a boy see during the process of selecting is if they both are physically attracted to each other, their values along with the family values, the communication styles and their personality.
