Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give by Ada Calhoun
3.0
"Only sometimes do I catch glimpses of how good I have it" (147).
"I know this in my heart: my life with this man is the best of all possible worlds" (148).
"Dating is poetry. Marriage is a novel. There are times, maybe years, that are all exposition" (33).
"We undergo just a few major transitions in our life--from nonexistence to existence at birth, from nonparent to parent, from existence to nonexistence at death. Marriage is the one transition that's completely under our control" (138).
"Maybe along with the standard wedding presents, we should be given a bingo card with squares fro stressors both major and minor...then we could see suffering as a game" (144).
"The way I look at it, when you get married, you have these rough edges. Everyone does. And then as you stay together, you wear down each other's rough edges, until they're smooth" (84).
