Wedding Toasts to the Bride and Groom
The Upper Hand
The following tidbit began a wonderful and personal toast to the bride and groom: "John, take Emily's hand and place your hand over her's. Now, remember this moment and cherish it... because this will be the last time you'll ever have the upper hand!"
Toilet Roll
Let us all hope and pray that your married life is like this toilet roll - soft, strong and ever so long.
Never Lie, Cheat, and Drink
May you never lie, cheat or drink. But if you must lie, lie with each other. And if you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink with us for we all love you and wish you both the love and happiness of which you deserve.
Let Us Toast
Let us toast the health of the bride, let us toast the health of the groom, let us toast the priest who tied. And I'd personally like to toast every guest in the room."
Swear, Steal, Lie
May you swear, steal, and lie.
Swear by all that's good and true.
Steal away your cares and sorrows.
And lie in the arms of the one you love.
Live as long as you want
May you both live as long as you want and never want as long as you live.
Today's Love
May the love you express to each other today, always be the first thoughts during any trying times in the future.
Love that Grows
I see the love you both have in each other's eyes and as your love grows for one another, may you look back on this day and know this is when you loved each other the least.
Leave It To The Expert
I'll be toasting the bride and groom with Shakespeare's sonnets.
Shakespeare's sonnet 18 for the bride
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
Shakespeare's sonnet 53 for the groom
Assimilating the aboriginal population into Canadian society was seen as the best solution to eliminating the costs associated with this segment of society receiving funds for being wards of the state. Once the process of shaping students into ideal citizens has been completed, they would be granted full citizenship and automatically enfranchises them. The removal treaty rights and tribe affiliation would mean that the federal government is no longer faced with the financial burden associated with caring for these peoples (Akhtar, 2010, p. 113). Since children have the potential to easily adapt to situations, they are perfect candidates for socialization programs which ease them into society.
They also isolated children from the influences in their homes, family members, and traditions. This at the time was considered the right way in the eyes of The Government and cities. Not only did the government force the young children out of their homes but they also gave them new identities and deprived them of their dignity. For instance, teaching them how to steal, how to lie, and how to be bad people in the words of igrid arnault “it's not who I am. It's what they turned us into be. Now the jails are full of our people because The government taught how to do all this stuff” (107). The Canadian government brainwashed them to do bad things so they could benefit from it. Furthermore, Duncan Campbell Scott who was the head of the Indian Affairs in 1913 till 1932 was the main reason why Native Canadian children were forcefully placed in residential schools. “Our object is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed” (Quinlan et. al 68). Some agreed with Duncan Campbell Scott’s way of approaching things but the indigenous community sure did not, and were very against
Sister Sara Butler’s article deals with the question of whether the ordination of women is still an issue within the Catholic Church (pp. 1). She argues that the reformation of gender bias, during the 1950’s, triggered the debate of the candidacy of women for the priesthood (pp. 3-5). Butler states that the Catholic Church used the gender complementarity argument as evidence for the male priesthood, not female subordination (pp. 6-8). Using theological arguments, Butler contends that the Magisterium adheres to Church Tradition since Jesus
I give to you, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also are to love one
Police use of force and so-called “Police brutality” have been a hot buttoned issue over the past couple years. Every police shooting and use of force case is reviewed and examined with a fine toothed comb by both the media and departments. However, what the media leaves out and the general public has no information on are the levels of force. According to an article written by George Godoy, there are 6 levels of force. These levels range from officer presence to deadly force. In this paper I will explain not only these 6 levels, but cases on use of force as well as whether or not officers do or don’t use too much force.
May your laugh, your love and your wine be plenty, thus your happiness will be nothing less.
The negative effects of the residential school system has had a persistent, negative impact on generations of Aboriginal culture and aboriginal families in Canada. The impact remains evident today, as seen in the loss of connections to Aboriginal language and cultural traditions and the high rates of poverty. First Nation children, family and communities in Canada continues to experience the disproportionate social injustice resulting from colonialization. The Canadian child welfare system has become the new form of colonization that has overrepresented Aboriginal children in the foster care system. According to Vandna Sinha, Stephen Ellenbogen and Nico Trocme (2013) states that “Analyses of provincial/territorial administrative data
The Indian Residential School System was run by the Canadian Government with the help of various churches with the objective of “killing the Indian in the child” (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada 2015). An estimated 150 000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children passed through the Residential School System between 1867 and 1996, and life for these children was lonely and alien (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada 2015). The Canadian Government has tried to maintain mutually respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, however, their efforts to reconcile with Indigenous people have not been adequate to heal the wounds of cultural genocide left by the Indian Residential School System. The Canadian Government has relied too heavily on formal apologies and promises rather than on implementing policy changes when attempting to reconcile with the Indigenous people. Although the government has tried to
Many guidelines have been set to control this but officers still do not seem to follow all of the rules they are supposed to follow putting them in these situations. The Model Penal Code is an example of this and allows officers to use deadly force “only in situations where the crime that the suspect is arrested for involved the use or threatened use of deadly force or if there is a substantial risk that the suspect would seriously harm or kill someone else if the arrest were delayed”. All officers do have the right in using force when attempting to arrest a citizen but with restrictions. This means if an officer is charged with assault, battery, or murder they have the right to fight for their case and prove that the force was necessary to regain control of the situation and maintain a safe community. To help better understand whether deadly force is warranted in an situation a Police Foundation that is located in Washington, DC created guidelines that are used in any given scenario. They determined that deadly force is weighted solely on the officer’s training and experience that they have received. In an interview a Woodland Hills civil attorney named Dale K. Galipo stated, "The training suggests that deadly force can only be used as a last resort in the direst of circumstances, when no other reasonable options are available. I think the vast majority
2. Always remember those three little words that are so important in a marriage: "You're right dear.?
Now I was a bit unsure about the duties of a best man, although I told Brian very early on that there was no way I was going to get off with a bridesmaid – I say that with no offence intended to Claire and Nicola who I’m sure you’ll all agree look lovely, and have done a great job today. So to find out what was expected of me, I turned to the internet and managed to find some really interesting stuff… but then remembered what I had gone onto it for in the first place, and set about plagiarising other people’s speeches from all the wedding sites I could find. So I accept no responsibility if this end result is rubbish. I know many of you will have been to a few weddings in your time, so can I suggest that you entertain yourselves quietly by playing wedding bingo – every time you hear a witty comment in my speech that you have already heard at another wedding, give yourself a point and the first one to five wins a piece of wedding cake.
The relationship between the Canadian government and the Aboriginal community has been a violent one, built on colonization and cultural genocide. The attempt to destroy traditions, values, languages and other elements that make up a cultural group is the very definition of cultural genocide, and this has been a goal of the Canadian government for over a century.1 This is evident in the Indian residential school system, whose purpose was to “take the Indian out of the child”.2 Beginning in the late nineteenth century, the Canadian government partnered with various churches to create residential schools for Aboriginal children, forcibly pulling them away from their family to assimilate the Aboriginal people. 3 Nearly 150,000 children went through
The Canadian Residential School system has left a lasting legacy on multiple generations of First Nations people across the country. Even in their old age, they are still affected by the efforts of the Department of Indian Affairs to assimilate the First Nations people into the new settler’s society. Cecile Kelto provided a first-hand account of what occurred within the walls of schoolhouse, and while it is quite emotional, she may not the picture that one many hope for as she believes that she ‘had it better’ than others that she went to school with . Her interview is still an important, though, as it shows that so much more was going on than just physical and sexual abuse because she was still traumatized by other factors that are identified
Kari, I want to note how beautiful you look today, and to tell you that this has truly been a special day for me. Thank you for giving true meaning to the word sister and for sharing the last 28 years with me. My parents and I have just loved this girl from the day she was born. We?ve coddled her, enjoyed her, and laughed with her. I know how much joy she has brought into our lives, and I know that she?ll bring that joy into Ernest?s life...
Seven years have passed since our first encounter and in those past seven years, we have made many memories and parted ways several times. Whenever we parted ways, we were led back to each other as if there was a spark between us. Ever since you entered my life I felt as if God somehow sent one of his angels down to me. Over the last few months, I feel like my heart has grown stronger because of the love I have for you. This love gets stronger and stronger each and every day.
