Download or read book The Wedding written by Mary Helen Ponce and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Blanca MuÐoz has known Sammy-the-Cricket all of her life, she never considered him boyfriend material until the summer she turned eighteen. HeÍs not particularly good looking, he doesnÍt drive a fancy car, he doesnÍt dance well, and he doesnÍt have a good job. Worst of all, he wears zoot suits and belongs to the Los Tacones gang. Blanca has always promised herself she would avoid guys like Cricket. But itÍs CricketÍs meanness that attracts Blanca the most. And before she knows it he proposes: ñYouÍre my old lady and weÍre gonna get hitched.î The chicks and pachucos in BlancaÍs barrio of Taconos outside of Los Angeles compete to put on the best wedding, even if it means paying off the expenses in monthly installments for years to come. Blanca works overtime for months prior to her wedding so she can afford everything, especially since Cricket refuses to help financially. The bride-to-be and her girlfriends obsess over the elaborate arrangements required of a Mexican wedding: who will be the maid of honor, ring bearer, and junior bridesmaid? What about the dress, the shoes, and the cushions the couple will kneel on during mass? The list of things to do is endless, and Blanca is more exhausted every day. On top of everything, Blanca finds herself feeling hungry all the time. Her expanding waistline means that her wedding dress wonÍt fit, but at least itÍs not a problem that a few safety pins wonÍt solve. Meanwhile, the guys are also interested in keeping up appearances. Cricket dreams of a wedding that outclasses all the others and raises his status with his buddies: a long line of souped-up, gleaming cars; guys decked out in the sharpest tuxedos; and most important of all, the best dance, where he and his friends plan to get high and rumble with Los Pachucos, the rival gang in the neighborhood. The wedding dance turns out to be the best party imaginable as the band plays on through a series of exciting moments: the maid of honor gets in a fight with a girl from ñup northî; the leader of Los Pachuchos and his buddies show up, determined to ñdanceî at CricketÍs wedding; and Blanca, after spending most of the evening in the bathroom, isunnoticed by most of the guestsfinally taken away in an ambulance. It was ñthe best wedding in all of Taconos,î she says right before passing out.

However, tonight Anne is afraid she won't be able to hold her tongue, let alone her smile: The wedding from hell has landed on her beautifully manicured lawn.

The perfect groom might be sad his stag days are over, but could be trusted with the babysitter.

Download or read book Simple Stunning Wedding Etiquette written by Karen Bussen and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What’s the preferred way of wording your invitation? How should guests at the wedding dinner be seated? What do you say to people who ask to bring their (uninvited) children to the reception—or, scarier still, to your prospective mother-in-law when she picks out the World’s Ugliest Dress to wear on your big day? Brides-to-be have a lot on their minds, including making sure that everything connected with the wedding is done the “right way.” But nowadays few people are adequately schooled in the do’s and don’ts of proper etiquette—and that’s where Simple Stunning Wedding Etiquette comes to the desperately needed rescue. This newest volume in Karen Bussen’s Simple Stunning Wedding series—whose four previous books total more than 130,000 copies in print—is the perfect marriage between the timeless and the new. Bussen celebrates the beloved rituals (cake-cutting, toasts) that are well worth preserving, while dispensing with outmoded rites (the garter toss) best left by the wayside. And Bussen’s guide goes beyond other wedding etiquette handbooks by dealing sensitively with the sometimes-fraught issues (divorced parents, second marriages, blending religious traditions) so crucial to contemporary wedding planning.
