There 's No Other Woman For Me

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I am the groom's father, Ken, and I have the great privilege of being best man. I have recently found out there are two reasons why J W asked me to do this job. 1) To make him look younger and slimmer in the photos. 2) Because he didn't want to burden any of his friends with the terrible prospect of having to give this speech.

She has strong, stoic features about her that make her stand out greatly. She knows that it is said that God only comes to one wedding and disagrees with multiple marriage partners.

In the movie “Love, Etc…”, Chitra and Mahendra are both Indians and has been engaged for 2 years. Their wedding is planned to be on July 4. Chitra and Mahendra first met each other at his brothers’ wedding. They danced with each other all night and that’s how they started talking.

A wedding in the Igbo culture is not just about the husband and wife but also about the two families and confessing everything they have ever done. Before the wedding, the families have many traditions that are carried out. In the novel, one thing that the families do, is have the bride sit in the middle of a circle and ask her questions about her life. Njide, Uchendu’s oldest daughter asks her sister’s groom the questions and says,”Remember that if you do not answer truthfully you will suffer or even die at childbirth”(Achebe 132). This shows that in the Igbo culture, honesty plays a major role in the marriage. According to the Igbo people, if you do not tell the truth when they ask you a question, you will suffer greatly or even die while giving birth. Showing honesty is not just about telling the truth. The Igbo people can also show honesty by,”when the groom and his father explain the reason for their visit, the bride’s father asks her if she knows her groom and her confirmation shows she accepts the marriage proposal”(Michael Widjaja). When the bride accepts the marriage proposal, she is showing her honesty to her father by her accepting who her groom really

After the negotiations and traditions leading up to the wedding finish, the groom picks up his bride from her home town and takes her back to his village. The wife's family is not at all displeased at this time, because, if nothing else, the absence of their daughter is one less mouth to feed. At this point, she is not only feeling like an object, but also rather alone, as she has been separated from her family, with no one nearby she knows. Her support system is gone, and the only guidance she shall receive is that of her husband and of her mother in law, both of which are new faces to her. They then move on to the wedding.

Seven year old Arjie found that he enjoyed freely playing bride bride and using his imagination with the girls rather than playing cricket with the rest of the boy.“For me, the primary attraction of the girls’ territory was the potential for the free play of fantasy”(4). Arjie feels like himself and that he belongs when he is playing with them. While at his grandmother’s birthday party, Tanju begins to make fun of Arjie for being the bride while playing wedding. “ ‘You’re a pansy,’ she said, her lips curling in disgust. We looked at her blankly. ‘A faggot,’ she said, her voice rising against our uncomprehending stares”(11). Kanthi Aunty steps in, giving hope to Arjie that she will stand up for him, but she notices Arjie dressed as a bride and

“I’m far from being comfortable, Dad,” I growled, “but what choice do I have if I want to be with Anna.”

“Eleanora,” my father's stern voice told me that I was in for a lecture, “you have been given a wonderful opportunity. If you can impress the queen, she will surely find you a suitable husband. I have no doubt that you understand the gravity of your situation. Lady Rosa and I will accompany you to ensure that you do not get

One evening her husband came home with the invitation to the ball planned by his boss, the Minister of Education. The author Maupassant states "Here 's something for you" (Para 9). He had trouble getting the invitation and her reaction to that was throwing it. She says in the (Para 12) "What do you want to do with that?" as she did not have anything appropriate to wear among the rich people. The maupassant 's states Why, the dress you go to the theater in" (Para 19). Her husband tries to please her with that invitation, so that she

She cries and says “If he wants to marry her, he only has to say so. I cannot stop him. If Adizua does not love me any more, I too will try to learn not to love him any more. It will be a difficult task but it is not impossible” (58).

“I will marry all the women in the world to prove to you mother that I do deserve a woman’s love,” he shouted

Also in Act 2 Scene 1, the bride comes off as bitter and is unkind toward the servant who is trying to prepare her for her upcoming wedding. The maid tries to hype up the beauty of marriage. “And the best is when you wake…and his breath brushes your shoulders, like a nightingale’s feather.” The bride irritated with herself and her situation snaps harshly. “Will you hush?”. The bride feels obligated and pressured to marry by those around her. The bride isn’t even sure if she wishes to get married and deep down she knows that she is in love with another. She doesn’t take responsibility for how her thoughts and feelings affect others. The bride also seems to blame society’s view on marriage during that time. During the 19th century parents usually arranged the weddings for their children. Marriage was also a way to ensure financial stability for some.

“I actually has had a dream to have a husband ‘cause I thought having one could make me become a woman. I used to love a person who would love to love me back. I used to step on an altar with my wedding gown and with my partner in life two years ago. But someone took him away from me and now they are a one big happy family.” She looked at me, something in her eyes told me that she was too vulnerable inside. “Isn’t it unfair? I may be a mistress, but I am just doing my part for the good of myself. For the good of my once possession. I was a victim, and till now I still am. Don’t you get me?”
