Summary: To Marry or Not to Marry
Review: To marry or not to marry. That is the question, and Kate Cohen answers it masterfully. For anyone who has lived with someone and is now contemplating marriage, (is there anyone else?), this book is a "must read"!Not only does Kate Cohen write like an angel, she offers an unusual blend of intense and scrupulously honest self-scrutiny with an extremely scholarly and comprehensive storehouse of knowledge about the customs of weddings. From Dante and Milton to Brides magazine, she presents information that is fascinating and often hilarious. This book should provide comfort for anyone wondering what love is, if they even are in love, and especially, why they should get married in the first place. Listen to Cohen describe her own love for Adam (the man she eventually marries): Love "is a slow process...we did not instantly see on one another's faces 'the one' that eternal love songs promise us. We didn't see blessed perfection, the moon and the stars and the sun all rolled up into one. We saw a possibility, one among many." I chose this quote because it is representative of Cohen's commitment to the truth, and of how well she writes. So, to all of you who may have cold feet, who are in a quandary of when, where, why, and how to marry, this is the book for you!
