Culture: Bhutan: The Fifth Dragon King Marries a Commoner

Love can be found in the tiniest places, even in Bhutan, a very small Himalayan nation. I love when men and when of royal standards choose to marry the person they truly have a desire for. The concept of hand picking a bride from a list of eligible royals, as if their a victim behind a two-way mirror picking out the suspect,..where's the love in that?  Love should never be determined by which to people can be worth more as a union, don't get me wrong you and your companion being a blessed unit financial is awesome...but if that were to be taken away, what finer grain holds your love together? Anyone can want to be married, yet, not everyone wants to be a companion and the searcher of your soul.
