As written by my dad himself,

If the intent of the assignment is to get us to leave our cultural “comfort zones” to challenge our values and beliefs, the instructor succeeded. The thought of seeking suitors for our child- inferring her loss of will and assent in the process – conflicts with our deepest held values. That said, parental involvement in arranging marriages is a tradition of many cultures, and needs to be respected in the context of faith traditions and mores:

Be it known that Jean and Paul Adams of Kingston, PA wish for their daughter, Lindsay, a suitor to complement her many wonderful qualities and values. Lindsay is special because she understands her gifts and talents and openly shares them;she is unafraid to stand alone for what she believes; she selflessly goes the extra mile in support of those in need; and she has always used wisely her power of choice to help others. Suitors who will love and respect Lindsay, and who possess values and qualities that complement hers, should make their intentions known directly to our daughter.
