Tracey has Married a Rock
which might give her mother a bit of a shock
However, perhaps she is not alone
.
in appreciating "the security of a large ancient stone"
since many a prospective bride
seems to take considerable pride
and even may be led to sing
about the one in her engagement ring.
And remember that for lovers on the the island of Yap
large rocks can serve as currency to smooth over a marriage trap
though I think it's a bit more handy
as they do in those Islands Trobriand-y
instead to rely on a well-cooked yam
to get you in or out of such a jam.

Marriage customs[edit]
At seven or eight years of age, Trobriand children begin to play erotic games with each other and imitate adult seductive attitudes. About four or five years later, they begin to pursue sexual partners. They change partners often. Women are just as assertive and dominant as men in pursuing or refusing a lover.[2] This is not only allowed, but encouraged.
In the Trobriand Islands, there is no traditional marriage ceremony. A young woman stays in her lover's house instead of leaving it before sunrise. The man and woman sit together in the morning and wait for the bride's mother to bring them cooked yams.[2] The married couple eat together for about a year, and then go back to eating separately. Once the man and woman eat together, the marriage is officially recognized.[2]
When a Trobriand couple want to marry each other, they show their interest by sleeping together, spending time together, and staying with each other for several weeks. The girl's parents approve of the couple when a girl accepts a gift from a boy. After that, the girl moves to the boy's house, eats her meals there, and accompanies her husband all day. Then word goes out that the boy and girl are married.[7]
If after one year, a woman is unhappy with her husband, she may divorce him. A married couple may also get divorced if the husband chooses another woman. The man may try to go back with the woman he left by giving her family yams and other gifts, but it is ultimately up to the woman if she wants to be with that man.

She was once the enfant terrible of British art, bursting into the establishment with her unmade bed.
Tracey Emin, the artist, has proved she still has the power to surprise, after announcing she has married a rock.
Emin, who this week opens a new exhibition in China, said she has married a large ancient stone in France, wearing her father's white funeral shroud.
She told The Art Newspaper: "It just means that at the moment I am not alone; somewhere on a hill facing the sea, there is a very beautiful ancient stone, and it’s not going anywhere.
"It will be there, waiting for me."
In a separate interview, she added: "It's in my garden, it's very nice and very impressive and I like it a lot.

"The other thing about the stone is that it could be quite monstrous and scary. Instead I saw it as a protection thing as opposed to a fearful thing."
Emin's latest exhibition, I Cried Because I Love You, will be in Hong Kong until May 21.
It is intended to explore the "universal" emotion of love, with the artist admitting: "Some people think it sounds sad, but I think that, for many people, they have felt tears of joy when they have really been in love."
When asked how her understanding of art had changed with age, Eminsaid: "I think that when we are younger, it is totally wrapped up in lust and physical conquest.
"My idea of love now is so heightened and spiritual that I really am looking for a soul mate; nothing else will do.
"Maybe when I was 18, I could have met someone who was my soul mate, but would not have known. I am very happy with the few people I have loved in my lifetime and I consider them to be extremely close friends.
"Not everyone can say that."
