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.”

Download or read book Toasting the Bride written by Benneth Nnaedozie Okpala and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the matter of personal experience, I am qualified to write about Africa & about America as well. In me, the phrase "African-American" is alive with vivid experiences. I have spent equal halves of my eventful life in Africa & in the USA. I have citizenship in both worlds & have been uniquely impacted by both through bouts of traumatic experiences. Presently & continuing, one-America-gets to house my body; the other-Africa- my soul. In the ensuing strange marriage of the two cultures, the line between the bride & bridegroom is fluid at best. I can, therefore, constructively praise &/or criticize both, interchangeably, w/ civilized equanimity & without fear, favor/shame. I can "Toast" the Bride, specific circumstance warranting. The book is to inform & to query alike. Although the material presented is predominantly a product of the African culture, it is not parochially African in its view of human life & Nature; nor in the content of the personal experiences presented. The book draws heavily from the literary wisdoms of philosophers to articulate the language & extract a body of knowledge suitable for describing, & coincidental to expressing, the deeper side of personal life experiences. It also juxtaposes traditional African spiritual idealism with modern American material realism to establish context. The reader is not to equate the different chapters as simple matching titles of the knowledge they contain. Although these chapters are meaningful & intelligible in themselves, the reader is persuaded to accumulate them progressively as the background necessary for understanding the relation of each to the whole. Toasting the Bride challenges the reader to know more about certain naked hypocrisies of the American legal system & to formulate educated personal opinions about the American social culture and to imbibe some universal lessons of life by partaking in the more vivid accounts of my personal experiences; & by pondering on the harder questions of living.
