Pranamas to all my friends all over the world.

I would like to know certain things. 

How marriage was arranged in those days for brahmins?

In case of Kshatriyas, it is something different bcoz polygamy was allowed for 
them.
They have various types of marriage.

(If am not wrong they have seven types of marriage like love marriage, 
ghandarva etc.)

EX: Dushyantha's marriage with Sakuntala.

But that is not the case of Brahmins. 
For us it is only the sapthapati, that is being considered as marriage 
registration.

My question is 
1. Do they follow any things like matching Gothram, horoscope etc whatever we 
follow now-a-days??

Is there any instance in Sanskrit literatute or in vedic text that quotes these 
things.

Regards
