Hello. I am random person whose meandering internet ramblings have led me to your little corner of the web. I think I fell in love somewhere around the Kara Thrace vs Lyn-Z question. I have no concrete answer to that one, but I'm enjoying the comparisons and mental images. So thanks for that one. If I friend you, will you say more things like that?
But to be relevant to this post, I think most of my feelings have already been articulated in earlier comments, but let me ask you this for the sake of playing Devil's advocate: Would it be more palatable for Ashlee to partake in this 'tradition' if it were done more for the added sense of commitment to her new husband rather than consciously perpetuating the ideals of ownership? Don't get me wrong, I'm inherently against the concept of monogamy myself (and marriage to a lesser extent), but I'm all for ridiculous all-encompassing love, which - I think - is what these two are all about. I doubt she meant the tradition to be viewed in such a Draconian context, rather an extension of her declaration of love.

Or, not, I dunno, that's just my view of it.
