They did the negotiations themselves. They did not use a go-between (as Claudio does in Much Ado) or make the arrangements through the father of the girl (as Paris is attempting to do, and as Claudio also does.

On the other hand, their courtship is similar to those of a number of other Shakespearean couples, like Lysander and Hermia or Anne Page and Fenton or Rosalind and Orlando. All of these are successful and happy couples and Shakespeare approves strongly of this kind of matchmaking.
