Harhar. I may be an ass, but I try to maintain at least a shred of dignity in some respect.
You know I was just joking.....
Or was I.

From the start, the Mes'ard family was founded with the intent of being a strong noble family. It was mainly (and I believe it still is?) comprised of leaders within their communities. There was an important time before you considered a child where you explained to them that the Mes'ard family is as such. If they were to get married it was highly encouraged that the family member do the proposing, to make the family stronger.
While you can argue it is unfair in relationships to be told what to do, it is also unfair to the family to agree to be considered and then be contrary to the family model. If you don't like it, the answer is quite simple. Go chase after a different family.
If Gregori ever returned he would be ashamed to learn that the family we worked hard to promote thinks being insane is cute. There was a time when the only insanity was in Ixchilgal's twisted side of the family and rightly so.
Stop making a mockery of the Mes'ard name.
At first, I thought that I might refrain from making an answer to this because I thought that it would upset me... but, here I am, and perfectly rational while at it.
Yes, a good amount of Mes'ards claim insanity and can tend to be a bit goofy at times. But many of those same members also hold important positions within the Wilde and its guilds, and take those positions seriously. And all of these members, as Dy stated, are severely loyal.
This topic was meant to be a spot of enjoyment, something to make people laugh and post other funny bits - to enjoy themselves. But there were a few serious comments to make. Yes, I made a jab at the obsession of the family to make sure that they bring in more members by being the ones to propose. I also stated that Linwe may not actually marry out of the family. She's not even close the getting engaged. So that's a non-issue for the time being.
So the Mes'ard clan can be a bit goofy at times. Big deal. There's nothing wrong with joking around in times where seriousness is not required. It shows that we have heart, and keeps our fellow communemates close to our hearts - like an extended family. Our ability to garner loyalty from our friends speaks of a different sort of strength - one that does not rely on loyalty out of pure obligation or fear.
So Linwe has not found a position within her guild or the Wilde, and can be a bit goofy and free-spirited. But that does not mean she ignores the call of the Wilde to help in its defense, despite the fact that she is not a fighter and does not prefer fighting, it does not mean that she will never seek a position and take it seriously. But in many ways, including or excluding her age, she is young to Lusternia. So while she may be cracking jokes and poking fun at her family's ways - she is working to better herself because being in such a family inspires her to do so, and defending the reasoning behind her family's ways.
In the end, despite all the differences amongst the Mes'ards - whether they be elf, furrikin, faeling, trill, human... be from the forest or a city... be goofy or serious... hold a high position, small position, or none at all... we are all loyal to our family. And I think THAT makes a great family, and is not something that can be broken because people say "Oh, those silly Mes'ards".

Dude. Would it help to add that all the d'Illicis are related to the Mes'ards as well? 
Except Ash, he always has periods of being disowned.

Aha, and if you're going to include once-family-connections even if they were never official ... Bau Sayelle (sister of Skyla Sayelle who married Gregori Mes'ard, who had the beginning pack of us) was once, I believe, Vix's mother until Vix disowned the association. Vix is now with Nejii Talanara, making the entire Talnara family a sub-branch from one of the extended connections. *sagenod* 
I'm still clueless about my disowned father.
If it was Hiriako, then that's a bit wrong since now he's like an in-law. Chade came after I disowned I think, and I forgot Bau's first husband. Bit confused.

I think of the Family Zergs, the Kalas pwns you. We have Melanchthon, Ixion and his wife Athana. Ildaudid, Reiha and their son Hraddon are on their way of becoming pwner rangers. I'm the sucky in the family, but I intend to bring lots of sons and daughters into the Kalas and we will be the biggest family EVA!!!!
Dia, what have you done? You have accepted to become a baby-maker. It's all Athana's master plan. She's the Queen of the Zerg Creep
You gotta get a better annology...
The Zerg got CRUSHED by the Protoss, and it was only because Kerrigan was a cunning
did the Zerg manage to make such a stand. But the Zerg will get their comuppence*.*Provided Blizzard gets going.
however...
WOW RULZ
I would really love if the Kalas took the position of the "warrior family of the basin". It would rock so hard
And Dia. The pooka loves the Orti. Let's just leave it that Orti is somehow Welsh for Farmer
And to the infidel above me. The Zerg rulz the protoss. They are not perfect in essence and they are too proud. Wait and see till we get some nice Protoss DNA into our gene pool and we will roxxorz your boxxorz
Kerrigan 4 Intergalactic Empress
