Includes bibliographical references and index."Plan your wedding without the weight of outdated customs and get hitched in a way that is authentic, fun, and true to who you are. "But you're getting married! You have to!" That empty statement is on the other end of everything from jaw-droppingly expensive dresses, staged proposal engagement photo shoots, and reception selfie stations. From the minute they become engaged, there's a script that couples are pressured to follow. By breaking down the antiquated traditions of that #blessedweddingday, this book will help betrothed pairs throw the icky bridal traditions to the curb in honour of getting the wedding of their actual dreams--not the one we've been force-fed for decades by the wedding industrial complex. Inspiring couples to plan their wedding in a way that is meaningful to them, The New Wedding Book debunks the "traditions," makes sense of realistic budgets, offers brilliant advice from real-life couples, and confronts the crushing pressure for weddings to be perfect."--

"They call her many things. Witch, Nagual Warrior, lady, Pantera. And after defeating the Obsidian Butterfly, Leonora carries a new title: Godslayer. Peace in Mexico City is fragile. Rebellion brews in the North, and when the people's safety is at risk, Pantera must once again become the demure viceregent Leonora to stop a war before it begins. But her friends are scattered, Tezca is gone, and one wrong move could seal her fate. Caution is her ally, for the real Prince of Asturias -- her former betrothed -- has arrived at court, reigniting rumors that Leonora and Pantera are one. A greater threat looms in the mountains, where a false king seeks to summon the god of night using a weapon of untold power. It's up to the Godslayer to confront this enemy. . . and the one growing within her. Only by embracing her divine origins can Leonora triumph over the forces of darkness -- and maybe even spark a revolution that could change Mexico's fate forever. But in doing so, she risks losing herself forever."--

Tyrant / by Iggulden, Conn,author.;
On the wedding day of Emperor Claudius to Agrippina, a senator lies dying in his own home. Yesterday, this senator was betrothed to Octavia, Claudius's daughter. Now blood gushes from his slit wrists. Agrippina's elevation to empress changes so many things. Claudius is convinced to adopt her thirteen-year-old son Nero, naming him his new heir. And those angered by his wife's presumption? They face dashed hopes, endure terrible accusations, or suffer a merciless death. Yet Nero - still a boy - is vulnerable. Tutored by Seneca, he vies with his brother and fellow heir Britannicus for their father's favour. He learns to fight. He learns to love. So what if his mother wants him to marry his sister-cousin Octavia? Rome has been scandalised before. But those who have survived Agrippina, and the families of those who didn't, have long memories and short knives. They seek chances to get close - to taste the blood of this ruthless plotter and her son. Rome has always been dangerous. To rise there, as Nero is to discover, others must fall - even emperors.
