Then you realize you have to plan a wedding, and that magical moment is history. For months and months, you and your betrothed have to figure out a thousand details which lead to that special day when you think, “If I can make it through this, marriage will be easy.” After all that work, I think the reason the bride and groom get to march down the aisle first is so that nobody can get between them and the champagne. To help reduce the stress of all that a wedding entails, most people turn to a professional with expertise, someone they can trust, a wedding planner. The WEDDING PLANNER (MAN) enters.

  • Planning a Catholic Wedding
    Planning a Catholic Wedding "Make [your wedding] a real celebration – because marriage is a celebration – a Christian celebration, not a worldly feast! … What happened in Cana 2000 years ago, happens today at every wedding celebration: that which makes your wedding full and profoundly true will be the presence of the Lord who reveals himself and gives his grace. It is his presence that offers the 'good wine', he is the secret to full joy, that which truly warms the heart. "It is good that your wedding be simple and make what is truly important stand out. Some are more concerned with the exterior details, with the banquet, the photographs, the clothes, the flowers…These are important for a celebration, but only if they point to the real reason for your joy: the Lord's blessing on your love." - —Pope Francis’ address to engaged couples in Rome, February 14, 2014 Nowadays many engaged couples handle a lot of their own wedding planning. When at least one of the individuals is Catholic this can include making arrangements to be married in a Catholic church. Take time to prepare and plan The Roman Catholic Diocese of Peterborough requires a preparation period of one year for couples who want to be married in the Church. The preparation includes a contact with the parish in which they want to have their wedding. It is important to talk with the parish priest or deacon about what the parish allows and expects in a celebration. It is also possible that the parish can offer specific help and resources.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

    Zp DALA IWP 2016 Page 1 of 8 Zp DALA Extract from What About Meera (2015) Chapter Eight: Ashes and Shit. Into the pregnant heat, the fat flies feasted. A spreading swirl of sludge wound its way down a grassy embankment, threatening to slip and slide into a rainbow coloured marquee. Grey-green-brown, the relentless slide defeated stones and boulders, continuing its lava spreading action in the best way that gravity would allow. It whispered naughtily into the curtain-air all its secrets, the sickly sweet gossiping of human excreta. It carried its message into hawking lungs and turning stomachs. It said hissingly, “This wedding smells of shit.” It was a day of angry heat. The start of a Durban December, the time of year for haters. Not a wedding season. A sweating season where noon times found fat ladies lying on cane loungers, or lying on floors covered with the cool redness of cow dung. Again, again and again the whispers sat on the back of flies. This wedding smells of shit. Meera and the Good Doctor. It was their wedding day. A happy Sunday morning of ritual. A moist, sweaty morning of fragrant fires, followed by the spiciest of noon day lunches. The cess-pit had chosen today to overflow. Perhaps overworked by all the shittings of a hive of guests, who had arrived in crowded buses from farms, cities and across the oceans. Eating their way into the pre-wedding rituals, watching and waiting like buzzards for a moment of extraordinary. They had seen it all before.
