I asked Master Fulford to give me Perronel, plighting my word that never should she sing or dance for any one's pleasure save her own and mine, and letting him know that I came of a worthy family. We were wedded out of hand by the priest that had been sent for to housel him, and in our true names.
Aminta's lips formed 'mine, without utterance. Meanwhile his hand or a wizardry subdued her will, allured her body. She felt herself being drawn to the sign and seal of their plighting for life. She said, 'Matthew, softly in protest; and he said, 'Never once yet! She was owing to his tenderness.

We find all sorts of ceremonies connected with the plighting of a troth which seems but little less important than the tying of the marriage knot itself.
