You have insured a lasting LOVING marriage for your daughter. My father, if he were still living would very much applaud you!

Commenting on the last story about this custom, I told you how my husband of 42 1/2 years asked me if he should offer my father a bride price ... say, a rifle for example. I stared at him in disbelief followed by a smoldering ire that I was able to extinguish. Coming from a religions that still, in the depths of its menfolk's hearts, believes in the Covenant of Polygamy, his suggestion was not the half-joke he intended. He's been more careful ever since.
