People plan for their big wedding day. But how many people
plan for the days after? Probably not many. Wedding Cake for Breakfast includes
23 essays from female writers on the year after the big day. This collection
chronicles the lessons learned, the turmoil, the joy, and the emotions of that
first year. Is the first year of wedded bliss actually blissful? These
acclaimed writers will tell you.
I enjoyed this book. It reminded me of my own first year. Each writer has a unique view of their
first year of marriage. For some, that year was blissful, for others, it was
not. The one essay that stuck with
me the most was by Daphne Uviller, whose wedding took place the weekend before September
11, 2001. Hers is a heartbreaking story of a shared anniversary.
