The three young people make it clear that arranged marriages aren't what they used to be. Nowadays, they involve negotiation, beginning with introductory phone calls and matrimonial classifieds in East Indian community newspapers, and continuing with long-distance trips, lengthy get-to-know-each-other sessions and the option of saying "no". For those who eventually say "yes" to an arranged marriage, the tradition represents a celebration of, and commitment to their Indian heritage. <45mn 45s>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
