How very, very odd to modern sensibilities. It would be very interesting to see a modern drama in which someone overtly questioned the marriage of two people in a ceremony. And the 'banns'! Doesn't that sound archaic? Yet somehow right, too? Is this a paradox? That we are drawn toward and against exclusion at the same moment? And isn't this somehow like quantum physics in which two particles can occupy the same place at the same time yet one particle can be in two places at the same time?

Listen, I'm just askings...
