Book Synopsis Simple Stunning Wedding Etiquette by : Karen Bussen
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.

Book Synopsis Tying the Perfect Knot by : Padmakar Gangatirkar
Download or read book Tying the Perfect Knot written by Padmakar Gangatirkar and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tying the Knot", a western phrase for getting married, has been a standard part of the Hindu weddings for thousands of years. These rituals involve "binding" the couple with various knots; physically, mentally and spiritually. "Tying the Knot" may appear to be a simple procedure but getting there requires a lot of thorough planning and excellent management. The Hindu Weddings, especially in western countries, are a fusion of multiple cultures, religions, races, traditions and customs. Add to that the intergenerational differences! To make a beautiful Hindu wedding happen requires a great balancing of all those factors and bridging of different views and approaches between all the parties involved. In addition to the couple and the parents, it takes a tremendous number of dedicated people to conduct a successful wedding! In this book, the author, a pragmatic Hindu priest, discusses his unique perspectives of how to officiate a perfect wedding ceremony and plan other events suitable to modern demographics in a practical and in an all-inclusive way based on his more than 20 years of experience. In this book, the parents are first generation Indians, born and brought up in India but now settled in the US. The bride, groom, or both are second generation Indians, born and raised in the western culture. Their parents may come from different parts of the world, may have different cultures, different customs, traditions, and even different faiths. Unlike their parents who were most likely married by arranged marriage system, the present brides and the grooms have found their own partners with whom they want to tie the knot by traditional Hindu rituals but custom tailored to their views and their audience. Many Hindu priests, very proficient in wedding rituals, conduct the weddings in the traditional Hindu way. Those ceremonies may lack the formality or discipline required for the present day demographics in the western cultural setting. Although full of depth and spirituality, these ceremonies may be too regional, too long and yes, some times non-interesting, allowing socialization among the guests throughout the ceremony. That is why, the couple, the parents and the priests need a practical guide on how to work together to conduct the most beautiful Hindu wedding in any part of the world. This book offers exactly that guide with a systematic approach, from planning to completion, based on the author's experience of officiating more than 175 ceremonies in America and elsewhere and the feedback from the couples, parents, wedding planners and attending guests. The author's custom ceremonies still include all the authentic rituals but he delivers them in an interesting, logical, and meaningful way by creatively connecting with the attendees. This results in a pin-drop silence, serenity and sanctity that your wedding ceremony deserves. He focuses not just on the ceremony but also discusses the Hindu philosophy behind those rituals. This book should be helpful to the engaged couples, their parents, wedding planners, invited guests and anybody else who is interested in Hindu Weddings.

Book Synopsis Not Just Any Dress by : Sandra Weber
Download or read book Not Just Any Dress written by Sandra Weber and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If dresses could talk, what stories might they tell? This compelling collection of short stories, essays, and poems features dress as the structural grounding for autobiographical accounts from women's lives in Western society. Often personal in nature, these «dress stories» point unfailingly to matters of social and cultural import. Some of the dresses described inhabit the popular imagination: the little girl dress, the communion dress, the school uniform, the prom dress, the wedding dress, the little black dress, and the burial dress. Beyond the semiotic, tactile, and visual aspects of the dresses themselves, the narratives delve into what dresses reveal about fundamental aspects of human experience: identity, embodiment, relationship, and mortality. Bought or made, then worn, forgotten, remembered, re-constructed, and re-interpreted, each dress offers a new glimpse into how we construct meaning in our daily lives, and how dresses serve to reinforce or resist social structures and cultural expectations.
