[QUOTE="Vanor, post: 31910, member: 218"] [i]Vanor looks at Diamond serriously[/i] Yes, it is there for two reasons. One is to alow you a chance to avoid dishonor, and two to make sure that both people realize how serrious this is. I know that typicaly something of this nature is a joyous occasion, and this ceremony can be filled with joy, but it is also a matter of a serrious nature. It however is also your right to take up this sword and strike me down, if after my story has finished, if you now find my offer dishonorable. It has always been tradition in my family to place honor and duity above a persons life. And altho it may be uncommon in other places, we believe it is required to give this option to one who will join our family. I think that one of the reasons for the sword, is this question offten comes up. And it shows how imporant honor is to my family, that we would be willing to die rather then dishonor someone else. If you accept me as a future life mate, that means you become part of my family in a very real way. You will not be the wife of my mother and fathers son, but will be their dauther in every way. That means if something happens to me, you will need to see that the tradion of our family is caried though. The sword is there as a reminder to the both of us of how serrious this is, and to make sure this isn't done lightly or with little or no thought about the future. In truth I know of no ceremony that has ended in blood... [i]Vanor smiles[/i] I think Sento did it at first as a joke of sorts with his then lover, but it has become part of tradition. I think it also sybolizes the idea that you may one day need to pick up my sword and fight for the honor of the dojo and family if you accept. Unless you have anything else you wish to know... I will preform the last bit of this ceremony and then await your choice. [i]Vanor pauses for a moment to see if his love has any other questions or comments.[/i] [/QUOTE]
