Every woman plans for the big wedding day. Few plan for the day after. But once the cake has been cut, the dress has been worn, and the band has played its last song, a marriage begins.

From the thrill and dread that comes with an unplanned pregnancy to catching up with an ex and having second thoughts, Wedding Cake for Breakfast offers an intimate and often surprising look at the first year of marriage through the eyes and lives of twenty-three acclaimed women writers. With humor and candor, this collection takes readers behind closed doors for close-ups and personal glimpses into the emotional joys and complication of creating a life together-all the while blending families, furniture, and traditions for the very first time.

'If you want to smile, cry, laugh, grieve, or just plain nod knowingly in the face of newlywedded supposed-to-be's, this book is your friend.' Laura Munson, author of This Is Not the Story You Think It Is.

""Wedding Cake for Breakfast "is a perfectly rendered collection of wise and funny memories about the exquisitely complex first year of marriage.
