Any one can marry only the chosen Bond
the ceremony of bonding is very formal and intimate at the same time. the flowers are always the subs chose those in attendance are people in the lifestyle. On very rare occasion one or both parents attend (this happened for Jane her parents were in the lifestyle. she found this out just before the ceremony when her mother came in to help her dress I understand there was much happy tears). Anyway the runner is white silk symbolizing the subs purity of hart, the carpet is black on sirs side white on her's. the officials are lawyers the hold the papers and witness the signing. they also conduct the ceremony. first is the presentment of the dowry in my case 2 gold bars. This is the moment of truth if this is accepted by the sub it will be given to the parents. she then signs the papers. sir pricks a finger and presses it to his papers and signs blood is the symbol of his permanence he can not retract the contract he has chosen to give, the sub does not by sir's chose the sub is still free enough to leave his care. the sub then turns to her matron of honor takes the crop (since this is a ranch the crop was chosen for the symbol she puts the loop of the handle around his wrist and the handle in his hand she then gives her vows and kneels sir takes the wide intricate choker and closes it around her neck he hold her torque in frond of her eyes and makes his vows kisses it and puts this around her neck. his new sub then reaches for her new toy removes it from his pants and takes her sir in her mouth in front of all to show that she will follow any command given no mater what to show her humility and gratitude. after she will stand and be presented to all as his love and property beware any who harm her. for the penalty could be death. we then walk back up the aisle to the bed room to change while the guests relax we then come arm in arm down the stairs to join the others.
AS always any questions should be addressed in comments so others may learn.
