I especially like the sparkly cow horns!
Looks more like a swan.
Yum. And... the unnecessary menfolk need to go.since you liked that one, lets try one more.
Ah. So last year I taught this chapter in intercultural communication that dealt with arranged marriages. It is kind of hard to make students understand the whole concept. They either flashback to an upper class Victorian sensibility or young girls being sold to old middle eastern men as soon as the words 'arranged marriage' escape your lips.Gosh, even bringing her own dowry along with her. That's the kind of arranged marriage you want to see.
I actually designed a prize-winning seminar on arranged marriages. The students always think this is a cruel awful idea. I have to say first, of course, that we're talking about arranged marriage not forced marriage - which is cruel and illiberal. I ask them what ways there are of meeting people, how did they meet boyfriends/girlfriends. Usually it's through friends, we talk about dating websites. I say, Is that so different to your Auntie, who knows you well, having a look round for someone who might be suitable for you?
There've been times in my own life I really wished someone would come along and say, I've got this person I'd like you to meet - no pressure, but I've known him/her since they were little, I know they're a good person. Check these piccies and if you're at all interested, we'll all go for coffee and cakes and you can get to know them a bit better.
