Betrothal is a formal state of engagement to be married. Historically betrothal was a formal contract, blessed or officiated by a religious authority.
Typical steps of a betrothal were:
1. Selection of the bride
- usually done by the couple's families with bride and groom having little or no input
2. Exchange of engagement rings
3. Blessing by clergy
4. Exchange of Vows and Signing of Contracts
- often one of these is omitted
5. Celebration
The betrothal of Praveen and Annette will be held on 5-04-08 at St. Mary's Basilica, Ernakulam and the celebration will be held at Hotel Taj Residency, Ernakulam
