THE LAWYER’S MARRIAGE PROPOSAL



Any reasonable man in similar
situations would make similar kinds
of offers ad initio. Alter
ego no condition here, you’ll just find
bona fide clauses in our contract.
I’m sure you’ll judge ex aequo et bono
our entire document. We’ll be in fact
vir et uxor. Ad infinitum? No,
a pact till in articulo mortis.
What? Do I love you? Why, isn’t that clear?
What’s mine will be yours ad coelum, which is
to say, I share with you all I hold dear.
You want to seal our contract with a kiss?
Sure. Though we may seem non compos mentis.
