Download or read book Wedding Toasts I ll Never Give written by Ada Calhoun and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven essays celebrating the beauty of the imperfect marriage. We hear plenty about whether or not to get married, but much less about what it takes to stay married. Clichés around marriage—eternal bliss, domestic harmony, soul mates—leave out the real stuff. After marriage you may still want to sleep with other people. Sometimes your partner will bore the hell out of you. And when stuck paying for your spouse’s mistakes, you might miss being single. In Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give, Ada Calhoun presents an unflinching but also loving portrait of her own marriage, opening a long-overdue conversation about the institution as it truly is: not the happy ending of a love story or a relic doomed by high divorce rates, but the beginning of a challenging new chapter of which “the first twenty years are the hardest.” Calhoun’s funny, poignant personal essays explore the bedrooms of modern coupledom for a nuanced discussion of infidelity, existential anxiety, and the many other obstacles to staying together. Both realistic and openhearted, Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give offers a refreshing new way to think about marriage as a brave, tough, creative decision to stay with another person for the rest of your life. “What a burden,” Calhoun calls marriage, “and what a gift.”

Book excerpt: THE ULTIMATE MAID OF HONOR GUIDE! Are you a Maid of Honor? Yes? SWEET! When you buy this book, you'll learn how to prep a speech step-by-step. When the big day comes, you'll rock your speech! Don't delay, buy now!If you're interested in this book, there's a good chance you've been chosen to be the maid/matron of honor for a wedding. Congratulations! You just got suckered into doing a ton of work... Seriously though, it goes without saying that the maid of honor has one of the most difficult jobs in the entire wedding party. Aside from the officiant, and perhaps the best man, the matron of honor duties are by far the most numerous and diverse. From "handling" the bride and leading the bridesmaids, to taking care of last minute "fires", and mingling with guests, the title of maid of honor carries with it a long list of responsibilities. Chief among them is your maid of honor speech. For anyone who's attended weddings before, you've probably seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Some speakers give great speeches that energize the crowd and leave a memory that will last a lifetime. While others fumble through notes and put the audience to sleep. Worst of all is when a speaker fails so epically, that they leave people feeling awkward or uncomfortable. Intentional or not, this can have a long lasting effect that can ruin the day. Whether it's malfunctioning microphones, lost note cards, or lack of preparation, there are a million things that can go wrong during a maid of honor speech. The purpose of this book is to help you navigate through the common pitfalls most maids of honor make, and prepare you to give a KILLER maid of honor speech. In this book, I'll teach you: -How to prepare, brainstorm, outline, rehearse and execute your speech. - We'll discuss all of the duties of a maid of honor so you're completely prepared for the day of the wedding. - This will include coordinating with the bride and groom, dress and appearance, interacting with friends and family, recording the speech, alcohol consumption and so much more. - Additionally, you'll learn the most common issues that happen during a maid of honor speech and how to overcome them. -- Moreover, I provide an example speech at the end of the book, that can be tweaked for your particular needs. Ultimately, this book will provide maids of honor with the tools, tips, tricks--and most importantly the confidence--they'll need to give a killer speech. By the end of the event, you'll walk out feeling like a hero and knowing you gave it 110%.

Book excerpt: Actor, producer and director Ben Crystal revisits his acclaimed book on Shakespeare for the 400th anniversary of his death, updating and adding three new chapters. Shakespeare on Toast knocks the stuffing from the staid old myth of the Bard, revealing the man and his plays for what they really are: modern, thrilling, uplifting drama. The bright words and colourful characters of the greatest hack writer are brought brilliantly to life, sweeping cobwebs from the Bard – his language, his life, his world, his sounds, his craft. Crystal reveals man and work as relevant, accessible and alive – and, astonishingly, finds Shakespeare's own voice amid the poetry. Whether you're studying Shakespeare for the first time or you've never set foot near one of his plays but have always wanted to, this book smashes down the walls that have been built up around this untouchable literary figure. Told in five fascinating Acts, this is quick, easy and good for you. Just like beans on toast.
