Perfect - thank you

I have another question. Does ticking the arranged marriage box matter? What even does the Home Office refer to as an arrange marriage? Is that a marriage where bride/groom is selected by parents (without the couple having a say), or is it still an arranged marriage where the bride/groom were introduced by family?
My case is the latter. But i'm not sure if that's an arranged marriage, because it's basically arranged-turned-love (lol). I have been speaking to my wife to be since getting engaged (wedding will be one year after engagement). Is this enough to say it's not an arranged marriage? Confused...
If I write in the Additional Information section: "N.B. On the Appendix 2 form, for 1.14, we have stated that this is an arranged marriage. Our marriage was arranged in the sense that, as per tradition in Pakistan, our parents arranged meetings between X and I for the purpose of determining our compatibility. During our meet-ups, X and I spoke considerably to determine whether this would be a good match. Our marriage differs from a traditionally arranged marriage in that our parents left the decision as to whether or not proceed with the marriage proposal to X and I. In addition, unlike in a traditionally arranged marriage, X and I have met and have been in regular contact prior to our Nikkah and we have grown extremely close in this time." would that be appropriate?
