I used to work with a young Indian American man who participated in a modern day arranged marriage. His parents placed an ad in an Indian newspaper then flew him to India to meet the approved prospective brides. He ended up meeting a strong, opinated young woman who told him off the first time they met. She ended up being one of the women presented to him as a potential bride. He picked her and they were married shortly thereafter.
As far as I know, they are getting along wonderfully and are approaching their two year anniversary. His younger brother on the other hand would never agree to participate in something like this and may be the first in his family to marry a non-Indian.
As a side note: It seemed that the biggest struggle they faced was getting her visa's approved to move to America. Apparently it was this six month long ordeal where Raj was married but living without his wife. She eventually arrived and moved in with his family.
I remember being kind of suprised by the whole thing since I'd never witnessed a modern arranged marriage before. However, it seems to have gone exceptionally well.
