Hindu weddings are many times arranged.
This means that parents of both families first of all search for someone who they believe is suitable for their son or daughter to spend life with. If two families agree, the man and woman who are to be married will meet each other and make sure that they are happy with the decision of their parents. Once someone is found, both families go to a priest. The priest makes sure that the couple is compatible by studying their horoscopes. If the couple is compatible, the priest will look for an auspicious day for the two to be wed upon.
