Well, there was a movie made by BYU that, although not actually directly affiliated with the Church, has become somewhat of an LDS classic, called Johnny Lingo. It is set on some unspecified Polynesian island, where a man named Johnny Lingo has come to get a wife. He is rich and handsome and all that, so of course all the women are all over him. But he ends up going to the father of Mohana, supposedly the ugliest girl on whichever island it is supposed to be, and not only telling her father he wanted to marry her, but offering the unheard-of bride price of eight cows. (The women were very competitive and jealous of how much their husbands had paid for them, and two cows was an extraordinary price.) He explained that he had always liked her, and figured that the high price would be good for her self-esteem. Despite being mocked for it, he went ahead with the transaction and when he and Mohana returned from their honeymoon, she was much happier (and of course, better looking - she had only appeared ugly, by covering her face with her hair, like they always do in movies.)
Of course, this is popular among Mormons not because this is how we get married. However, the idea of treating one's wife like she is worth eight cows is something they stress with us, and women sometimes use it to explain how their husbands make them feel special and what have you.
I mentioned it because last week in FHE, we were talking about it and a girl who is a new convert said she thought it was a little rude talking about how many cows a woman was worth - because she had never seen Johnny Lingo. After we explained the concept, it occurred to me that there is an awful lot of stuff we have in the LDS Church that those of us who have been members for a long time take for granted, that would seem very strange to outsiders or those who are new members. Hence my comment in the other thread. No offense, I hope.
Just a coincidence then. I actually saw that link and only only rambler I'd seen before was Mormon's ride . Ive had weider stuff then that happen.
