I live in Canada and I am sponsoring my wife from India under the Family Class Sponsorship program. Our marriage was an arranged marriage. I met my spouse through relatives. We were introduced at a restaurant where we sat and talked for ours. We got along perfectly fine and I was really interested in her as much as she was interested in me. Then the following day, my mother called my spouse's maternal uncle (the one who arranged the meeting) and proposed that I am interested in getting married to my spouse. So we had a "roka" or engagement ceremony the second day after the first meeting because I had to leave for Canada the next day. Then we had about one year of courtship before we were married. Now the question is:
12. Who proposed? I wrote that my mother proposed on my behalf. My spouse's uncle presented the proposal to my spouse, who accepted it and then he informed my mother about her decision.
13. When and where? I don't know what to write for where. Should I write on the phone?? Our engagement took place in a hotel banquet hall.
Also, does anyone think the VO would look at this and wonder how we got engaged after one day of meeting each other? We did have one year of courtship though.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!!
