A compendium of courtship rituals

I want to woo the person of my dreams. In your world, how do I go about this?   Courtship Rituals Among the Khammadi: As with so many aspects of Khammadi life, confessing and demonstrating one's love is dictated by religion. Love is sacred to La'am Kalaat, and thus most of the implements involved in courtship rituals must be consecrated to her. While at first it is not considered necessary at first for a man to confess his love to the object of his love, it is considered completely necessary to confess it to the priests and priestesses of La'am Kalaat. At such a stage, it is considered customary for the man to begin to give gifts to the woman (or, often, her father). When a woman reaches marrying age (varies from community to community; generally around sixteen), their family will place an empty bowl outside her door. Any man seeking to marry the woman will go to the priests of La'am Kalaat, who will give him a bottle of Ureh, the sacred spice wine of the Khammad. These bottles are manufactured in the city of Tash Ayazul, and are sent to every official holy garden in The Khammad. They are composed of blue glass, and have a stopper shaped like an elephant's head (the sacred symbol of La'am Kalaat). The man's name is inscribed on the bottle, and he will put it into the bowl outside the house of the one he wishes to marry. The woman will choose the one whom she loves the most, and the Ureh is drunk during the wedding ceremony. While officially it is the woman's right to choose the man she will marry, more often the father makes the choice; however, women are steadily gaining more rights in The Khammad and this could soon change.   Courtship Rituals Among the Bargē Dwarves: For the Bargē, love is almost as finicky a process as it is for the Khammadi. When one wishes to gain the love of another, they must forge a beautifully crafted torc with their name or a picture representing them featured on it, called a Saarta-Kohtvuu, and leave it in the home of their prospective lover. They must then wait for a full week. If, during the week, the recipient of the torc appears in public wearing it, then the proposal is accepted. If the week goes by without the object of your love wearing the torc, then the proposal is rejected. If the proposal is rejected, then the torc is returned to its maker and melted down. If you haven't yet given up, then you are supposed to forge another torc from the same metal and start the process again. Traditionally, if one has attempted to win the love of another eight times, and has eight times been rejected, then the metal from the torc is melted down and reforged as a knife, which one plunges through their own heart. However, this practice fell out of favour centuries ago, and in fact, the entire process has just begun to fade away.   Courtship Rituals in the Kallun Delta: Unfortunately, very little has changed in the past few thousand years; if you are a man, then the most you can hope for is that your prospective bride's father is satisfied with your bride-price, and if you are a woman, the most you can hope for is that your father accepts the proposal of someone tolerable. The new High King has instituted reforms that grant women more freedom, and while these are followed in Pelradan they are almost completely ignored in more rural areas of the Kallun delta. In the capital, courtship often involves the giving of small gifts (such as food, artwork, or jewelry), as well as the exchange of love letters. Even more commonly in modern times, Pelradani have begun to communicate their feelings through flowers, as people are discouraged from confessing their love in public. The arrangement and composition of bouquets can convey certain messages, and books abound for deciphering this flower code.
