“I want their whole family to suffer!” Ford yelled. “I shall look forward to the day I let them know it was entirely all their fought for how my son is being treated. The humiliation of receiving no request for a Blind Date from any Eighth Level girl when they outnumber the boys, seven to one is…” “You can keep your reasons to yourself. Now what can you do for me? This is far from something that is normally done.” “How would you like if your daughter’s vitals are lifted to the highest marks.” “I guess you really want your revenge,” I chuckled. (Did the man just offer my little princess to receive the Twelfth Level Matrimonial Top Listing?) “However, don’t you think it would look strange, even for an Eighth Level, to …show more content…
“Your offer is too good to believe as it is, so why not consider this as a gift.” “I can work around the traveling server and the 12 seat school shuttle, but she being assigned an AISHA Unite will cause too much attention towards her and start people asking questions. The best I can do is have one of the two lower magistrates speak openly about your daughter having a family member recently obtaining a high matrimonial acceptance and their family has sponsored this minor indulgence. It wouldn’t be the first time that an Eighth Level married into and Tenth or Eleventh Level family. I should know and had received their… gratitude. I had even experienced a Twelfth Level family special request a Ninth Level girl to have the opportunity to choose their son. How they learned the girl was being approached by several Eleventh and one Twelfth Level family had me investigating my staff for trying to steal business from me. Actually it was another Twelfth Level family who had informed them. Although they were a low Twelfth Level family, they wanted their daughter to marry the boy who had convinced his parents to allow him to marry the Ninth Level girl. Once the Ninth Level girl and her family had agreed to the match, who wouldn’t with an elite Twelfth Level family giving you this honor, the boy was devastated. Before word of the

“I am not concerned with your liking or disliking me….All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.”
We notice that both the bride and groom did not make any arrangement. They did not have any choice but to follow their parents’ will. Once married, women had to serve their husband and their family. They often became a sort of servant to their mother-in-law, to whom they had the obligation to obey. Families were omnipresent in the marriage; it was a very strict marriage where women had no other choice but to listen to men of her family.
In the Colonial period, single men and women were typically guided into a courtship by their parents. Most families preferred to have their children marry someone of equal or higher status and would scout potential spouses on their children's' behalf. The majority of partnerships were arranged regardless of the emotional bonds or lack thereof that they felt for their future spouse, but some young people took it upon themselves to follow their emotions and peruse who they thought would be a good spouse. In this case, the male in the blossoming relationship would approach the parents of his desired wife and ask for their daughter's hand in marriage, but the decision was left up to the most influential relatives in the family. The situation would
“Of course I would. That sounds delightful!” she said cheerfully. The prince heart ached with sadness and guilt for this beautiful woman with a bright future would be sacrificed.
This is far too soon for two people who just met each other to be married. Not only do they barely know each other, but they marry despite all of the anger it will stir up between their families their families; this decision is certain to cause them trouble in the future. This hasty marriage begins the long chain of fate that ultimately leads to their
“I am not trying to deceive you my lord, only offering you a deal that if you accept, could bring upon the greatest expansion your kingdom and those around it has ever experienced,” she said again. The king laughed.
Marrying for love was not an option; the girl would marry whoever her father saw fit regardless if she truly loved him or not. She wouldn't see or meet her new husband until all the details had been worked out. The fathers main concern was enlarging and forming a strong consortium between families. It was the fathers duty to find a man suitable for his daughter; These young brides were barely maturing; getting married in their early to mid teens to men who were significantly
“What is upsetting you right now? What do you feel is true or important that isn’t getting across? To resolve this I want to really understand how you feel.”
“I don’t understand why we are forced to practice a ceremony, won’t it just take away the magic of receiving our gifts?”, Evi replied sarcastically.
Instead of moving out and establishing a home of their own, married sons will move their wives into their household, where she will then be expected to devote her loyalty to the eldest male of that household.
A strained silence stretched between the two of them. Several emotions flitted behind the Seeker’s visage. Eventually, pity hardened her features and she acquiesced. “Consider it done.”
In walked my father, his jaw had dropped to the floor. "You look stunning!" He exclaimed. proud he is of me and I’d always be his baby girl. My father and I had shared our special heart to heart moment. We were still dabbing away tears streaming down our cheeks as we headed for the exit door. All the men were standing at the alter, therefore the girls needed to begin marching. First went my sister and then my best friend. Both wore long, elegant black dresses, paired with black
As a little girl, I never dreamed of falling in love or getting married. I never understood marriage, and in the society we live today, I still don’t. Everyone talks about how special and sacred a marriage is, but I see it as nothing more than some kind words, a kiss, and a party. I believe we as a society are so busy with big expensive weddings, we fail to have any real tradition or spiritualness such as the Native Americans do. Brides are much to busy with buying the biggest, most beautiful dress to impress her guests. A wedding dress be more significant and meaningful rather than something pretty made from a stranger. Native American tribes such as the Cherokee, Apache, and Omaha have some of the most meaningful marriage customs. Is there something to be learned from their way of marriage and celebration?
