and the City Examines Friendships, Forgiveness and Love"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><font face=\"Calibri\">Sex and the City examines \u00a0the significance of loyalty among friends, justifies forgiveness, and confirms the strength of love.\u00a0 The friendship bond among the girls is noteworthy, especially when Carrie is rejected by Mr. Big.\u00a0 \u00a0He makes it to the wedding reception yet succumbs to fear of failure and decides to turn the car around and leave Carrie dressed in her couture wedding dress without a groom.\u00a0 <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The girls act as a tower of strength for Carrie, who becomes disenchanted and lifeless after finding out Big isn\u2019t marrying her.\u00a0 The cellular phone she had when she hears, \u201cI can\u2019t get out of the car,\u201d falls crashing onto the floor as Carrie\u2019s life comes crashing down around her.\u00a0 Carrie is taken away from the somber situation, and placed in a car with Miranda and Charlotte to flee the scene as Samantha stays behind to announce the cancellation of the wedding.\u00a0 Minutes later after leaving the reception, Big frantically realizes he made a Big mistake and asks the driver to head back to the wedding reception.\u00a0 As he frantically looks for Carrie on the streets of New York, Big spots Carrie\u2019s car.\u00a0 Both see each other in disbelief, and Carrie runs out towards Big and repeatedly hits Big over the head with her wedding bouquet as the white flower petals fall crashing onto the streets of New York as if to remind everyone of the fragility of love. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Inconsolable, humiliated and broken hearted Carrie is swept away to Mexico, which was supposed to be her honeymoon destination, by her loyal friends, Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda.\u00a0 As Carrie lies on the bed in total darkness, her friends visit her to console her and feed her spiritless body.\u00a0 They provide her with words of encouragement and kindness and allow her to mourn her loss of love. \u00a0Forgiveness is the road back to love, yet this lesson isn\u2019t learned by Carrie or Miranda until the end.\u00a0 <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Carrie realizes many months later that Big does love her , but she had forgotten to involve him in their wedding plans and failed to comprehend that Big\u2019s love for her is genuine and timeless.\u00a0 He just wants to marry her; he doesn\u2019t care for the lengthy guest list nor the public\u2019s recognition of their marital vows .\u00a0 His love for her is s so much greater; it is transcendental.\u00a0 It is a love great men have written about.\u00a0 And just as Carrie found her true love, Miranda found a man who worships her.\u00a0 However, he slips; he has a one night stand with a woman, and Miranda blames solely him for his mistake.\u00a0 This slip forces Miranda to become introspective.\u00a0 After many months of blaming their marital problems solely on Steve, Miranda begins to take responsibility for their breakup and builds up the strength to forgive Steve for his moment of weakness. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Ironically, Miranda betrays Carrie by not disclosing to her until many months later that she discouraged Big from getting married. \u00a0Despite Miranda\u2019s betrayal, Carrie finds it in her heart to forgive Miranda and Big.\u00a0 She realizes Miranda didn\u2019t intentionally hurt her and neither did Big.\u00a0 The ending is exceptional and inspiring; Miranda and Carrie learn to forgive, Charlotte relinquishes her fears and embraces happiness, Samantha becomes true to herself, and Carrie, as always, continues to evolve.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sex and the City examines \u00a0the significance of loyalty among
