Ah yes, "traditional marriage"

[ck4829]

I am getting married this summer. If we are truly going with the centuries old traditional sense of marriage then my bride's family owes me some cattle.

6. The Fumars?

Thought I heard that on the Fumar's show.

Like when they had kinds in England, a room full of witnesses on your wedding night to verify consumation.

5. In my first marriage, my "bride price" was a bag of rice and

a copy of the Quran. At my divorce 20 years later, I got neither. My ex-sister-in-law was smarter. She negotiated for gold coins. Me, I was a dumb westerner who married for love and had no paternal unit to negotiate for me or to threaten to commit murder if I were mistreated.

7. Also

Make sure the marriage is arranged by your families. Love has nothing to do with it.
