She gives them the name of the man she picked and then the leaders will pray about it and if they think it’s right, then they meet with the man and see if he is okay with it and then the man will propose. • They don’t really date before marriage normally they are married within two weeks of everything being decided. • Also only married members of their church are allowed to attend the wedding.
