Sex Cultures

Grissom is definitely smirking.

"No lecture today. Instead, I am going to assign you a partner, and give each team a unique assignment.

Today in class, you should chat with your partner and discuss how you are going to develop your presentation on the topic I am going to give to you. Each team will present on Tuesday.

Now, as you may remember, we have been discussing marriage and its role in our society. Most cultures have a ceremony of some kind, to officially begin such a union. Generally, that's called a wedding. However, different societies have much different ways of conducting weddings, and I think it would be very useful for everyone to see some of these differences first hand.

So..." oh, the smirking. "You are your partner will each be assigned a type of wedding. I will give you each a packet with the information you will need. And then, on Tuesday you will act out the ceremony for all of us with your partner.

Kissing of the bride optional.

And your partners are..."

[OOC: Please remember, no godding that your partner is late to class. Slow-play is our friend. Threads with partners and assignments will be going up in the next few minutes, thanks! Up! Also, mwahahaha.]

"Look, pal, I've done my hitch as a girl. Ten whole days thanks to a spell. Besides, ain't like we have to consummate it in front of the class. Pretty sure we're going to have to fake the whole blood thing too."

Han, feeling generous, leans over and says "look, it takes 3 people, the couple and the priest. What about seeing about getting one of the girls to stand up as the wife?"

Sawyer, interested in this idea, peaks up over the desk, "Explain?" as he shuffled through the papers they were given.

"Real simple. We ask a girl, any girl, to do the girl stuff in the ceremony. You want to be the priest or the bridegroom? If you'll play the priest, I'll ask Lana if she'd help out."
