The quote that elicited my anger:
the St Paul police department has agreed to implement a training programme aimed at educating officers regarding the first amendment rights of the press and public

I’ve read that some used to perform handfastings “for a year and a day” at which point, the couple would publicly announce their decision to renew or refuse to continue their vows. Seems Mexico City is proposing a renewal of this rite.
