Weddings Around the World

I’m sure you have been to at least one wedding ceremony in your life. Whether it’s a relative, a friend or even your own, it must be filled with lots of traditional things that I am sure you are even aware where it originates from.

I mean why do western brides wear white? What the does ring signify? Why must there be that “something new, something old, something borrowed and something blue” thingy? Why is it the bride must be carried across the threshold? For the Chinese wedding ceremony, why is red the color of choice? What is the tea ceremony and why must they do it?  Well if you look a the infographics below, there might be some information below that can shed some light and give you answers to the questions. In fact, you will also find out why traditional Japanese brides are painted pure white for the ceremony and why during the San-san-kudo, 3 sips of sake are taken from three different sake cups. Wanna know why Russian bride and groom are greeted with bread and salt during the ceremony? You can find the answer below as well.

Wedding traditions always fascinate me and as long as they don’t burden the newly married couple with unnecessary debt and problems as they go on the experience the marriage itself, then it’s fine with me 🙂

Make Your Food Taste Better with Great Looking Dinnerware

We all know that presentation is part of a great meal. That is why if you lack creativity like me in the food decor department, the best thing to get is great looking dinnerware and a great looking table setup and your problem is somewhat solved unless of course your cooking is less to desired. If that is the case, may I suggest takeout? lol!

Anyway, if your cooking is mediocre, then perhaps these great looking summer dinnerware might just be consolation perhaps?

Cheerio…

Business Cards : Done!

I just finished printing two sets of business cards for myself. One is for business contacts with my real name and one for people I meet while on blogging social events. You might wonder why two different sets? Well I go by by nickname when I blog and so if I were to use my real name, no one will know it’s me when they come and visit my blog and well I need my real name for business contacts and potential sponsors right? So there’s my reasons 🙂

Good thing the cards are not not expensive to print as there’s a local label printing company nearby.

Cheerio…
