Humorous Wedding Speech: A Day Of Life

1147 Words5 Pages

Good afternoon, everybody. I apologize for being late; however, my car had been mobbed on the way here, that 's right, surrounded by aggressive throngs of people, all screaming and yelling in a free-for-all cacophony, some even fervently/vigorously hammering on my windows. Imagine this happening to you, every hour of every day of your life. Strangers scrutinizing your every move, cruel eyes judging your every action, hungrily waiting for you to make a single mistake, greedily devouring even the most minuscule details of your life. In fact, just last week, I saw a full size article on where I buy my yoghurt! It 's absolutely ridiculous. It really is. Wars, famines, plagues are constantly occurring around the globe, people are dropping dead like fleas, crime is seeping into the …show more content…

I routinely feel like throwing on a snug pair of ratty sweatpants and letting my hair down for once. Sometimes, I don 't want to wear the stunning silk dress, which shackles my body into its tiny confines, forcing me to suck in my stomach for the cameras, a fake smile plastered onto my face. Sometimes, I don 't want to be gorgeous. Sometimes, I don 't want to be the epitome of glamour. But, can I do this? Not in this incredibly shallow world of ours, in a world where image is everything, I could never make the grave mistake of letting my standards slip. The tremendous pressure of having to conform to society’s standards of what they expect from me, having to look like I’m ready to strut on a catwalk at all times, bears down hard on me, its mammoth weight slowly pushing down on me, overpowering me until I’m ready to admit defeat. Apparently, there are a set of rigid rules, cruel guidelines dictating me on how to behave on the basis of my presumed personality. Not only this, I’m also expected to be an ideal role model for scores of teenagers around the world, their finicky parents ready to pounce on me at the drop of a hat, eager to pulverize me into

We live in a society in which conformity is not only encouraged but often rewarded. As my grandfather used to always say, “It’s the [penguin] who is different that gets left out in the cold.” Sure, many try to push the narrative that we ought to lead, and that being divergent is what makes one “special.” But while this may be true in a purely academic sense, socially, those who do not abide by unspoken norms are typically outcast as pariahs; they are considered the “undesirables.” As such, many teenagers change their personality by emulating others in attempt to gain acceptance into certain social cliques.

This morning, I noticed that I was out of milk. So I decided to go and get some, to avoid a repeated day of desolation. I found myself at an out of town gas station, although being in my bed sounded much more peaceful. I went all the way out of town for milk because of the infuriating press. They are outside of my home, just waiting for me to come outside so they could humiliate me more than I already was.

I woke up to the sound of something cooking. I totally called that we were going to have a good day didn’t I? We usually had food but not meat since it goes bad and we don’t trust it when we find it. Scouting neighborhoods for food is fun but that’s exactly wear foes would expect you to be so we have to hang low outside town and go in to stock up for what we can. It’s like being a criminal but you’re only scaring yourself so it’s

Many start the day by arranging their hair, finding clothes to wear, or any other daily habit that may alter one’s image; this is all due to the way others see others. Thankfully, in today’s communities, features are not judged upon as much as four decades ago. In the setting of “Barbie Doll,” by Marge Piercy, the narrator observes a growing girl in a culture that solely focuses on aesthetics, rather than the features that genuinely make up a woman. In Piercy’s “Barbie Doll,” the girl’s society regards aesthetical characteristics far more valuable than her other various qualities and strengths, to the point where she must alter her own nature to create a false reality. This girl’s other qualities beside her looks, are displayed to be very

I’ve certainly hit this wall that is “this terrible emphasis on physical perfection” with the efforts I make to strive for whatever image of ‘perfection’ that I only define by what I see in advertisements. While I am certainly in the cohort of girls who “learn early on that they’re going to be judged first and foremost by how they look,” it was never a subliminal message I received from advertisements. My mother had always placed a great emphasis on my appearances, in a way that she never bothered with my brother. While her daughter should be smart and hardworking, but she should also be “perfectly groomed and polished, plucked and shaved” and not at all deviating from what my mother thinks society expects of a

I would like to make a toast to my parents, I want to start by thanking them for all that they have done for me. I can say without a doubt that they have made me into the person I am today.

Confidence is the key to every fashionable person. When you are not confident in what you wear or what you choose to wear, the whole outfit will simply be ordinary. As John Galliano famously said, “Style is wearing an evening dress to McDonald’s, wearing heels to play football. It is personality, confidence and seduction.” (Lindig, 2014)
