Life in Mayan Empire

Dear dairy,


   I'm at the age of 14, so me and my family is getting ready for the youth  marriage. In my Empire you have to be  14 to get married for a girl and for a boy at the age of 20. I really didn't chose my husband but it was negotiated by the village  or by the matchmaker. The groom family had to agree on the food and the clothes would be given to my family.But they have to agree the amount the years my husband would work for my family.
  The villagers built a hut for me and my husband that was behind my family. When the house was finish me and my husband move in their. Then we put on the clothing woven for the occasion. After that the priest came and blessed are marriage. Then we celebrated.
