Pramila Jacob
i prefer love marriage.. because its better to know the person well whom you are going to get married & will be staying with, for the rest of your life…,rather than marrying a person whom you hardly know.
2)Rishi Peswani says..I would agree with the love marriage.coz in dat we knw each other bfr nly v.well our comtabilities with each other where as in arranged one we get to know each other v.less max to max for 1 year dan marriage.. N also nwadays arrangd marriages are getting divorcd most of the times coz dis genetratn is diffr.. We aree impatatient though bfr arranged marriages wer successful bt now day are not..
3)Nimesh Shah“Interesting..haha.. My vote goes to BOTH ,of course (Either way its a marriage 😉 )..!!First lets take…Umm.. (alphabetically )
Arranged Marriage..Advantages..
1) Worked out traditionally and followed ancestrally..
2) In case something goes wrong, Blame the parents..!!! #yes, finally some1 to blame..
3) Arrey yaar.. Marriage in India..!! Need to say more..
We celebrate as if there is no tomorrow.. THE BIG FAT INDIAN WEDDING..!!
Just Imagine..!!!
4) It would be like a fairy tale.. who knows?? Getting know a complete stranger and falling in love with him/her.. Everyday would be a mystery..!
Disadvantages..
1) Chances of Less or no understanding between the couple..
2) No secret outings without parents knowledge.. Fun angle missing, isn’t it ?!!!!
I really dont wanna add more disadvantages .. 😛

2) Love in the air , of course…;)
3) Occasional eye locks , and background music…:P
