What are some of the strangest, coolest, or most romatic gestures of love or commitment you have come across with different cultures?
Someone was pulling my chain while we discussed s/o issues. But she did bring up an interesting point of how different cultures do certain things. I’m always game for new and different traditions, so give it a shot if you’ve come across something different or unique. It can be about anything in a relationship, from dating, marriage, whatever. It’s in social so have fun with it. This is just a fun question. There are no right or wrong answers.

@ucme Perfect was for your answer. Gold star.

Ask me nicely & i’ll think about it.
”Aye, now’s yer up the pole there’s nowt to do but get you up the aisle.”
Strangest: Baffin Island. Weddings happen at night there, apparently. When the bride closes her eyes, expecting a kiss, she is often rewarded with a mouthful of fish – it’s tradition to abduct the husband and exchange him for a giant, genetically modified mackerel. Yeah.
And because it fits, in a way: Bruno Mars Proposal
@KNOWITALL Patience baby ;-}
@Seek_Kolinahr Ha, you couldn’t be more wrong.
It’s something i’d only reveal in PM’s & only then to those I like/trust.
@ucme Please please please? Or was it really sweet and slushy and just too romantic to ruin your Fluther cred?
ah, buddy I’m just busting chops. you know i lurve ya’.
@Headhurts I bet that’s it, it’d ruin his street cred of being a sassy little monkey. :)
@Headhurts Fluther cred…LOL, now there’s an oxymoron :)
Hey Alyson, I know you were darling, it’s just that you actually couldn’t be more wro…ah fuck it, see PM.

Women can be so persuasive :)
