Wedding Speech : The Tea Ceremony

I’m currently sitting in my room thinking about how great these two weeks with you were. Thank you so much for all the memories and fun times. I will always hold them very close to me. My god, it has only been a couple hours since you left and I already miss you so much. You have made me immensely happy, I cannot express that enough. I only hope to make you as happy as you make me. I know we are both still young, but no matter what happens or where life takes us, I know for a fact that I will always love you. You have taught me so much and I will forever be grateful for that.

I'm so excited for you! It's your birthday! Yay! I wanted to surprise you a box of presents to put a big smile on your face and to show my appreciation for you and all you do. You're a terrific friend and a constant source of encouragement-not only to me-but to everyone you know! You bring so much joy to others, and you know how to make people smile and laugh. When you throw a party, you seek to make sure the needs of everyone are met and you'll plan little details to make to make sure everyone's having a good time. From creating your own made up game on New Year's Eve, to making Papa Murphy's pizza and some healthy snacks to go along with it, you put the cherry on top of the cake called hospitality. I've seen you grow so

The base has been created so that the birch splits in two, creating an illusion of legs, and the main shape of the pot grows taller, to resemble the chest and torso of a man. The handle and spout appear to form the arms and hands of the 'Sassy Birch', and the lid coincides with the shape of a hat. The white bark of the birch also peels away in many places to reveal the darker, brown wood beneath. The teapot was hand-built, and hand-carved from ceramic stoneware. It is unclear how exactly it was fired, but oxides were used to achieve the colours and shades, and the pot was then most likely fired at cone 5. There was also an oxidation

We were able to sell everything that was brought in and successfully raised $725!!! We broke the record in PFCU bake sale history!!!

The rituals before marriage are called Khachang and Nangchang. Khachang is the groom choosing his bride (via Buddhists or the parents), once the girl is selected a visit would be made to her house. The groom would carry a bottle of whiskey and a white silk scarf to offer, it is meant to see if an approval would be given. If the two families agree, there would be a meeting would occur to find a good date for the engagement to take place and what colors the bride and groom would wear. The next ceremony is the Nangchang, which is the engagement. This happens in the presence of a lama or a rimpoche, the maternal uncles of both sides play a meaningful role during marriage negotiations. On the groom’s side, the mother and the siblings play important roles whereas on the bride’s side have the entire family joining the occasion. The guest would bring Tsang and many kinds of meat to the bride’s house, specifically rice and chicken to the fuel's mother. These are also given to the unmarried elder brothers and sisters. After this occurs an auspicious date for the marriage would be fixed, along with a date for the bride to leave her maiden home. The couple mostly lives together in either the groom or bride’s home after the engagement. After the engagement comes to the

Tea was a part of the industrial revolution and it helped workers concentrate on fast working machine. Many people became experts on tea and wrote books, and others like the Japanese tea master Rikyu, could identify the tea and where it came from just from the smell. People had a high sophistication level regarding how the tea is made, it included how it was kept and where it was grown. The tea ceremonies were immensely intricate and it included the grinding and mixing of tea which was all done by hand. Tea had a really great influence and it spreading far with new ideas and taking new territories creating influences,

“Uh, what was that, sir? Oh, yes, if you haven’t prepared an acceptance speech, you needn’t worry. We will have someone introduce you and all you need to do is explain the reasons behind your work, what drove you, and how it makes you feel to have done it. I am sorry if you did not get the message about the speech, but I am more than confident you will be able to produce one without problems,” said the man.

The Shinto have ceremonies called Jichinsai. They also have prayer rituals called Norito, deities and shrines. The conventional order for the Shinto festival rituals starts off with purification, adoration, opening, presentation, prayers, music, offerings, removal of offerings, closing the sanctuary, final adoration, the serum is optional, and ceremonial meal which are often reduced to ceremonial sake drinking.

It’s my turn to close tonight. It’s a Monday night, so no one is here but one man. I usually don’t close, but I’ve been trying to get all the overtime I can get. I begged my boss for weeks to give me some more hours and he finally gave in. I mean I can understand why he had a hard time deciding because I’m not the most experienced bartender here. I would spend time trying to learn more drinks to make, but I have so much homework to do it takes up most of my time. I thought high school was hard, but college is even harder. In high school, I worked at Friendly’s but still managed to have some extra time. I guess now that I have to support myself financially and attend school, it been a little hard on me. Luckily, I have a scholarship and this

The members of the family who are participating put on there best cloths. The person who is leading the ceremony is required to wear a kittle (White robe).Candles are spread around the table and each member is required to have a plate and wine glass for the first half of the ceremony.

Through my study of sixty-nine pieces of tea literature circulated in early modern China, I argue that a new discourse and a new series of aesthetic principles on tea tasting was created by a community of scholar-official tea connoisseurs based on their commonalities in perceiving and understanding tea and tea-related objects. This commonality, on one hand, originated from their shared educational training through reading classical texts; on the other hand, depended on their experiences in sensing things through their bodies in forms of cultural practices. Both of their education and cultivation played significant roles in the formation of the cultural identity of scholar-official tea connoisseurs, who, with their writings, further influenced

An intriguing speech event that I take part of in my daily life is at the place of my work; a restaurant in Old Town. Under the employ in the service industry, it’s a common knowledge among co-workers that speech patterns change when interacting with a customer. It becomes a running joke between co-workers, mimicking the heightened, sociable pitches and over friendly choices of words. As a waitress in a typical restaurant setting, the content of this unofficial speech event are the repeated cycles of satisfactory waiting; tone of voice, particular utterances, bodily positions we take in front of the tables we offer service to. Here, it is more relative to focus on the higher pitches that take over our voices and the recurring outgoing utterances
