I understand. It is a very symbolic thing at it's core. So in the end it's just whatever they both decided upon.

And it's like you say, there's not enough to make a definite conclusion, which is what I was aiming for.

The fact that they did another ceremony that looks a lot more like a real marriage, supports my doubts. Therefore i'm not saying there's an issue or problem with Touka making something like that up. After all it's the meaning behind her suggestion that's important, the symbolism and union. If Kaneki agrees then it's settled. She could've proposed to headbutt and I would still recognize it as their mutual marriage agreement, just not a very standard way or credible thing for all ghoul couples to do. Touka did give Kaneki her ring prior to Kaneki's question of what ghoul marriage is like, which means her parents were married by "rings", by human tradition and symbolism, so it's not that preposterous to think this is how most ghoul couples would do it as well. After all trying to fit into human society is probably the biggest tradition of the ghouls in recent years.

It's ofcourse no use to try and debunk this biting ordeal, because that's what Ishida had in mind. But Ishida often portrays things more dubiously or with more reasons then just the symbolic ones. To immediately decide based on Kaneki's & Touka's example that this is how it's done in the ghoul world, is the only thing i'm hesitant about. So I'm trying to prevent seeing "Ghouls marry by leaving a bitemark in each other as prove of their engagement." in the wikisections.
