How Highland Wolves Differ from Others at Highland Weddings
By
Terry Spear
That said, Highland wolves do things differently. They come
armed. Sgian Dubh in stocking and
sword at their belt. It’s a matter of pride and their heritage. Not only that,
but some of the Highland wolf clans are still fighting. So it’s also a
necessity.
Bride stealing? Sure, it even goes on today. It’s also known
as marriage by abduction, marriage by capture, and bride kidnapping.
So if you want to protect your bride, better be prepared to
fight for her!
At a traditional Highland wolf wedding in contemporary
times, the men and boys all wear kilts. But the lassies are free to wear
whatever they wish. Now, not all Highland wolves marry in a church. Wolves mate
for life and they don’t feel the need to prove to anyone that they are bound to
each for life. Unless the groom holds a title, or one of his brothers is first
in line if he doesn’t have an heir. Then a marriage for the humans’ sake is
necessary as in A Highland Werewolf Wedding.
Then again, sometimes a wolf gets mixed up with a human and
then if the woman insists on having to be married—unable to see that wolves
don’t need that human condition—a wedding will take place like in Dreaming of
the Wolf. You never know when one wolf’s wedding will start a trend though, and
others will want to follow suit.
So whether you're at a Highland wolf wedding, or slipping
back to medieval times where marriage could be had by consent—no church
ceremony necessary—by civil law—you were married.
The church considered them clandestine or irregular
marriages if they were not done on the porch of the church no matter how
publicly announced they were.
Wolves don't care about all that. Their matings are binding
for life.
Just in case you needed to know. So if you mix it up with a
wolfish guy, if you say I do to him, you'd better be prepared to make it
forever.
With that said, who all is ready for A Highland Werewolf

A Howl for a Highlander?
Tomorrow is the release day for A Highland Werewolf
