When i marry you

i dont what the books of history to remember that you came for a weekend with a pair of extra clothing and you never went back to your place....
I dont want our marriage to begin with "dad told me to go back where i slept...."
I dont really want our marriage to be like any other city marriage where you first move in together so that you can cost share the rent then  before you realise it you have shared everything in the quest to save on.
I want my marriage to you to begin with that talk with your dad, i want to get containers full of the traditional liquor and those long "mrijas" for everyone in your village to have a taste of it, i want to invite all my family elders to your place to come and negotiate on the number of goats and cows i will pay as dowry before you move to my place...i want them to lock themselves in that tiny hut as your people count the degrees you have and my people try to negotiate back thats how i want it before i finally bring you to my house...
I want us to spread white sheets before we sleep and as we wake up, we look at the fruits of our labour.

I want my marriage to bear the traditional touch but born out of modern ideology, i just want us to be different.....is that too much to ask in a society where the government is striving to make a 6months cost sharing deal, a marriage.
In a society where women nolonger cook like there mothers but rather drink like there fathers?!
In a society where women are dying to be treated like queens when they are busy acting like kings...
In a society where men are thought to be dogs because other women cant keep there legs crossed!!
Is that too much to ask????

I want to walk you down the aile before i walk you down to bed.i want you to move in with me as a wife and not just an acquitance with whom i can save some coins.

I want to go down on one knee to ask for your hand in marriage before i bend to do anything else..

I just want my marriage to be true to the initial meaning on "MARRIAGE"
