In South Africa there’s a big population of South Asians too. As far as the process of looking for a prospective bride is concerned, its similar to what you have written. If the marriage is not in the family usually the groom’s family (nowadays the groom is also a part of that group) goes to the girl house on chai (tea). In some families they allow some sort of interaction between the girl and boy that day, but in typical arranged marriages like muqawwee mentioned the groom and bride usually see each other on wedding day.

What was your experience?
