When the essence grants I and I my King WE shall follow thus We shall have no ethnocentric influence on that day. Friends and relatives have shunned me 40 years for the Livity so they won't be in attendance and that brings I joy. I living is HIM way and not an ounce less.
"The fact that there is to be found in each church a copy of the Matsahafa Taklil constitutes proof of the existence in Ethiopia in earlier times of a crowning ceremony at the marriage service. However, the ceremonial of the church was progressively diminished and, therefore, marriage by crowning was not very wide-spread, not even among the clergy, let alone among the people; but it is not known whether this happened at the time of the uprising of Ahmad Gran or during the extermination of Christians when Yodit of the Falasha tribe reigned. Nonetheless, there were many among the clergy and the people who were strengthening their marriage by receiving eucharist together with their spouses. But now We have urged the savants and the learned to preach exalting marriage by crowning and, as a result, it has again become customary."-My Life and Ethiopia's Progress: The Autobiography of Emperor Haile Selassie I Vol 1, Chapter 26.
