I met someone who lived in Wilmington at a camp in Charlotte about two years ago. We spent most of the day talking and getting to know each other, and he was an enjoyable person to talk to. Age and residence acted as a large barrier. We talked some after the camp but our friendship would not work out. However, this summer I found out he was moving to Charlotte to live with his grandparents.
Gifted American Literature The Wedding “Is it possible, I wonder, for a man to truly change? Or do character and habit form the immovable boundaries of our lives?” ( Lewis Prologue). Nicholas Sparks, author of The Wedding, is known for his unique way of portraying sheer joy, melancholy, and romance all into one novel. The Wedding, sequel to The Notebook, tells a story of a man who has for many years overlooked the fact his wife may not be in love with him anymore, and now that he has finally come to this realization Wilson Lewis has to do everything he can and reach to that romantic part of him he has not seen in a while to “recourt” his wife, Jane.

They decided to get married after their “love fest” in the garden, and this is where their adventure began. The first archetype I have chosen for Romeo was a rebel. Romeo fits this archetype because he is inclined to resist authority and the authority that he is going against is his families’ laws. Romeo is courting Juliet discreetly behind their families back. Romeo is not supposed to have any dealings with her, yet he still fights for love.

The men decided whether the marriage happened or not. The amount of the dowry the husband pays is decided by the husband and the father of the bride. However, if the husband changed his mind about the marriage during the honeymoon period, which is the period when the bride remained at her father’s house after the marriage contract was signed, the dowry would be returned to the bride’s father. Also, during this period, the bride’s father may choose to opt his daughter out of the marriage which in turn, will lead to him getting his dowry back. This predicament is stated in Laws 159, 163, and 164 in The Code of Hammurabi.

Stoddard quotes the Supreme Court ruling in 1967 stating that marriage is “one of the basic civil rights of man” (Stoddard 737). This quote says enough for me to win the debate. If every man (which can also be translated into every woman) has the right to marry, then I believe that same philosophy should apply to whom that person wants to marry. The government gives us the right to marry in the search of happiness but takes that right away from us by telling us who we can and cannot marry. They are contradicting themselves because they are only giving some of us the right to marry in search of real happiness, the others are expected to shack up and pretend.

Courtship is an old-fashioned word which was the process of mate-selection. As cultural historians Alan Carlson and Beth Bailey put it in the Mars Hill Audio Report, Wandering Toward the Altar: The Decline of American Courtship, prior to the 20th century, “courtship involved one man and one woman spending intentional time together to get to know each other with the expressed purpose of evaluating the other as a potential husband or wife.” The man and woman used to be from the same community, and used to meet in the presence of woman’s family, mostly mom and brother. However, “courtship has been changed to the dating in the way number of partners included, space of meeting changed, and it also has been changed into the sexual relationship.” Before we move to the changes in courtship, let’s first talk little bit about history of “dating”. According to cultural historian Beth Beiley, “the word date was probably originally used as a lower class slang word for booking an appointment with a prostitute.” By the turn of the 20th century, the word “date” started to describe lower class men and women going out socially for public parties, dances, and other meeting places. It used to hold in movie theatres, dance halls, and centers.
