Adept Response: "I do."
Adept Response: "I do."

Penalty and escape clauses? Sounds sneaky. Explain.

Then you would not be married.

All good contracts write up penalty clauses for if one party breaks contract. That's what this is, also, writing in an escape clause means that one or both parties can seek to end the marriage in a predetermined way. This ends possibilities for nasty divorces.

Especially good contracts might write in financial pre-nuptials, and what to do with resultant pets or children.

I get the concept, I just thought you might have already had detailed "penalty and escape clause" templates to be built-in. I guess they would have to be case-specific, though.
 
The religion is person to person. It makes sense that the unique relationships have unique contracts.
 
Yeah, unless you're me :(

I couldn't get married under this doctrone.

About asexual people using this ceremony...

If we interpret "I lust" as "I like" or "I approve"
and
"I lust for their body" as "I find your physical appearance satisfactory to my aesthetic standards."
and
"I lust for their sexuality" as "I like your asexuality"....

(because asexuality is still technically a kind of sexuality despite it not including what is commonly considered "sexual")

So,if two asexuals accept each others sexuality(or lack of there of) or the hetero/homo/bisexual person in the relationship approves of the other partners asexuality can they still get married?
 
Members of the order are encouraged to use argument to interpret the words of the order.

I'd accept that.
 
Show me the wedding ceremony with flames, sacrificing of animals, blood fountains and loud metal music and I'll be there. Might even fancy that as romantic.
