ORIGINAL: sweetnurseBBW Umm you had your own mini ceremony when he presented it to you. A formal ceremony is just a way for others to show off. It isn't the ceremony that has meaning it is the collar and what it means to you both. Going to have to disagree with this one.. (the part in blue.. the other I agree with) Granted, some do use it as a show, lot of hoopla and showy rituals. And it seem these are also often the Velcro collars relationships. But for most, I do believe, it is done simply to include their friends and community, to give them support and recognition as a couple. This is important when the collar is also part of a commitment and permanent relationship. Ann (Yes i know that is not my picture...) \ Yes we do include our friends and family but the hoopla is not for friends and family. I have been to some very extravagant ceremonies and it was just for show. I didn't say it was for all to show off. The ceremony itself is to show whatever the collar means to both but the other stuff is not. My opinion. People have alot of extra stuff for different reasons. Are they needed? Maybe not. High dollar bands, renting out a 500 person banquet hall, don't think that shows commitment. This is what I was referring to. A collar means different things to different people. Just because some cannot afford or want alot of people or formal ceremony doesn't make it less important to them. Placing a collar on a neck is very symbolic to some, because friends weren't there or no formal ceremony occurred does it make it less of a commitment or permanent? I think not.
