Social Question

What are some of the strangest, coolest, or most romatic gestures of love or commitment you have come across with different cultures?

Asked by Adirondackwannabe (36713points) September 3rd, 2013

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.

Vulcan life mates touch their first two fingertips to each other’s. For a touch-telepathic race, it’s practically boinking in the street.

My husband proposed with a dozen roses, and a family set of rings on each stem for me to pick from, it made me feel special (dinner he had cooked, etc…)

The Cherokee way of presenting presents is kind of cool, too.

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?

Seek's avatar

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Headhurts I bet that’s it, it’d ruin his street cred of being a sassy little monkey. :)

ucme's avatar

@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.
@KNOWITALL You genuinely just made me giggle like a schoolboy.

Headhurts's avatar

KNOWITALL's avatar

ucme's avatar

KNOWITALL's avatar

ucme's avatar

Tee-hee.
Okay, I think we derailed @Adirondackwannabe‘s thread enough now, @Headhurts started it sir.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Derail away. I was just getting turned on.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar
