  <description><![CDATA[  Life is short, but marriage is long, long even when it's over soon. "Marriage is time": Joan Didion's deep thought—true of any marriage, however long it lasts—echoes through Katie Roiphe's book—"Marriage is time." Every marriage makes a legend of itself, a fable of how it began, a myth of metamorphosis, a saga of rise or fall. Marriage is the memory of an anticipation and the anticipation of a memory, a history of visions and revisions that cannot be divorced.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2168211/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  Heather Warnken, Modern Bride's Bride of the Year, last week came in for a lot of grief courtesy of the Web site Gawker. Her sin? Heather and her fiance, Michael Vallarelli, are asking wedding guests to pay for their honeymoon by purchasing $8,250 in gift certificates from a registry at the St. Regis in Bora Bora. The couple was pilloried for being crass and mercenary.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2168008/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <title>Why is the food at weddings so bad?</title>

  <description><![CDATA[  I know I had good food at a wedding once, but I cannot tell you what that food was. I remember it only because I was standing next to the groom's disapproving best man, the prototype for Michael Douglas in Wall Street, when the hors d'oeuvres passed by, and, to make conversation, I said everything was surprisingly fabulous. He sucked back whatever succulent tidbit he had chosen, threw the skewer onto the tray, and spat: "It ought to be. It cost a fucking fortune."<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2168011/?from=rss">more ...</a>]<!--AD BEGIN--><br clear="all" /><a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=5472" target="_blank"><img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=5472" border="0" vspace="5" /></a><!--AD END-->  ]]></description>

  <title>The thinking man's guide to bachelor parties.</title>

  <description><![CDATA[  It is undesirable to plan one's own bachelor party, or "BP." Instead, the bachelor ought to suggest some ideas to trusted friends and let them do what they will—crucial to creating the essential elements of surprise and plausible deniability. Thus, filing this piece 50 hours before my BP commences, I don't know exactly what will happen there. If everything goes successfully, I never will. But whatever they have planned, it must have taken some special effort, since, having been around the block and returned, I'm quite aware that the wedding industry is woefully underserving the sophisticated bridegroom-elect.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2167873/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>
