It was I who begged the collar of my Owner, it was I who went on my belly before him and placed his foot upon my head pleading my need for his dominion, it was I who preformed the ritual of female submission to him and yet it curious enough it was my Owner who went on bended knee when he proposed marriage to me.
I personally don't care one way or the other how other people go about it.
But I am very happy that tradition was followed in my own regard, in both my marriage and my collaring.
