I’m loving him

Once I was turning over the pages of some journal, frankly speaking I don’t even remember its name, and I found interesting article about unusual and a bit freaky weddings, I must say. I mean not the wedding itself but the places where they took place. The next day or a couple of days later that I went to mcdonalds to have my morning cup of coffee and strange thoughts came to my mind or may be not so strange, as it turned out to be a bit later. I asked myself “are there people, who decided to get married in mcdonalds?” With this thought I came back to my place and turned on computer. I was checked for mcdonalds first, fond out some information and began to reflect upon the following thing “Why do people love mcdonalds?” It offers fast and cheap food. mcdonalds was the first to offer chicken nuggets that became a hit and some of its offers were a failure like the McLean, do you remember? What you can get at each mcdonalds depends on the owner of the franchise, but all mcdonalds offer burgers, chicken in nugget and sandwich form, fish, salads, pizza. They also offer a variety of desserts like cookies, pies and shakes. You can go to McDonalds and get a full course meal. Mcdonalds always tries to surprise us with something new. But on the other hand there are not only pros, everyone can find cons like food quality, health concerns, food taste. It tastes horrible but we are all different and our tastes differ, someone might like it. Burgers, fries and much of the menu is pretty unhealthy for many people, food has too many calories, fat and sodium, but mcdonalds still has lots of fans. And it’s all over, just take a look! These flashing spots are not lightning bugs these are mcdonalds restaurants. Can you believe that?

There are over 13,000 mcdonalds restaurants in the US, or about 1 for every 23,000 Americans.

But let’s turn to my first question, I nearly forgot about it. I found out that my question is not a question at all as THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE who celebrated their wedding in mcdonalds. But why? Is it a call of fashion? I got to know that some of these odd fellows just met there at first and it became “their place”. He or she used to work there. “I am in love with a McDonald's girl, she has a smile of innocence, so tender and warm, I am in love with a mcdonalds girl, she is an angel in a polyester uniform.” Or just came for a snack. And now they cannot imagine a more romantic setting for their wedding. Also some couples just before getting married pop into mcdonalds for a Big Mac and then go to their wedding reception because they like fast food and cannot spend a day without it. I found one more not so romantic reason – economy! Instead of splashing out thousands the couple pays really small amount for the spread for 33 guests.

There are other stories about fast-food weddings and mcdonalds is not the only fast-food chain store entertaining wedding receptions. Some people find it sad but I think it’s better to have an inexpensive wedding and have a long and fruitful marriage.

Let them eat cake

One of the most charming moments during the wedding is wedding unveiling of wedding cake, which should be really testy and splendid. And if your cake is special and decorated with originally decorated or made according to unusual recipe, you can easily say that your wedding celebration is a success. 

Many interesting facts are associated with cakes, especially with wedding cakes. Lots of interesting things can be told about cakes. Wedding ritual tradition that tells us about bride, groom and wedding cake cutting is more than 5 thousand years old. Grand great-grandfather of modern cake is wedding bread, it can be strange, but it’s a well-known fact. In the times of Rome Empire according existing traditions the bread was to be broken apart above bride’s head. Groom did that and gave out pieces of this bread to the guests to share his luck and happiness with his friends and relatives.

In England in the middle ages wedding cake wasn’t a cake at all. As a rule a heap of small sweet muffins was made in front of couple and they had to kiss above this heap, it was a symbol of happy life.

Wedding bread existed almost in any culture. Today every one has wedding cake on bridal feast but it’s more due to tradition, due to fashion and it’s rarely connected with ancient rituals. Wedding cakes are more like work of art that combines imagination and talent of confectioners.

There are some interesting facts about cakes. In 2006 the most expensive diamond wedding cake ever was unveiled in Beverly Hills at the Luxury Brands Bridal Show on Rodeo Drive. It was created by Mimi So Jewellers and cake designer Nahid La Patisserie Artistique. The design of the cake was for this bridal show and of course is not edible and costs 20 million dollars. There isn’t a lot of people can afford this diamond cake which is definitely the dream of every woman to have it during her wedding.

In 2007 at the New England Bridal Showcase, Mohegan Sun unveiled what it hopes will be the world’s largest wedding cake. Measuring 17-feet tall and weighing 15,032 pounds, the seven-tiered cake is almost three-times the weight of the current record in the Guinness Book of World Records for the world’s largest wedding cake.

In 2009, in Scotland a cake-designer has created the UK’s biggest cake ... and used it for his own wedding. It was nine feet high and five-and-a-half feet wide, made with half a ton of mixed fruit, 20 KGs of marzipan, almost 3,000 eggs and with 20 bottles of Rum, this delicious master piece took 3 months in the making. Sprinkled with 3,000 Swarovski diamonds, the cake will certainly add sparkle to the wedding. It is Britain's largest and most expensive wedding cake! 

The groom plans to give off the cake leftovers as charity. 

If you are a fan of Vincent Van Gogh’s masterpieces, then next cake is for you. The cake is multiple layers and must have taken ages to finish. Take a look at glorious ‘Starry Night’ cake. But the story of wedding cake is endless. Who knows what masterpieces will decorate weddings of our grandchildren. I can say without doubt they will be really-really tasty and incredible.

As color is becoming an increasingly popular addition to the wedding dress, brides are finding it an easy way to further express themselves and make their wedding dress unique.

People’s imagination has no limits. Let’s make sure of it. Cocoon styled wedding dress is number one in our chart. It's a wedding gown designed by Yves St Laurent in 1965 and inspired by Russian Babushka dolls. This dress is handmade. A figure of the Bride emerges from a Russian doll, wearing a knitted poncho and headpiece based on St Laurent's original design. Yves St Laurent might pictured the bride as a caterpillar which was about to become a real butterfly. It was represented to audience on the exhibition in De Young Museum, in San-Francisco.

Necklace, ear rings, crown and wedding bouquet are made of caramel. It’s unique dress, which weights 15 kilos (about 20 pounds) was made for 2 months. His future wife was really proud that she wouldn’t look like other brides.

Oh, my God, can you believe it? This dress is like a combination of a huge typical wedding dress and origami design. You can even see how it imitates every fold of origami. She looks like a swan, it’s amazing. It’s made by Christian Dior in 2007 for Spring/Summer Couture Collection and the name of this posh gown is Origami Dress.

Do you like peacocks? And so do I. But I’ve never thought that peacocks feathers can be used to realize somebody’s wedding dream. Wedding dress from the artificial peacock feathers was made in China. Its price is $ 1.5 Million and it’s made from 2009 peacock feathers. 8 workers and 40 days needed to sew it.

If was designed by Ian Stuart and Rococo Chocolates for Chocolate Week 2008 as part of a chocolate sculpture exhibition at Chocolate Unwrapped.

Make you wedding – build you relationships

Marriage - a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters written in prose.

Thousands and thousands weddings take place every hour all over the world and all of them begin usually with the same words but in different languages: “voulez-vous m'epouser?”, “vorresti sposarmi?”, “queres casar comigo?”, “te quieres casar conmigo?”, “vil du gifte dig med mig?”, “Θα με παντρεψετε”, “будешь ли ты моей женой?”, “wil je met me trouwen?”, “هل الزواج مني”, “wyjdziesz za mnie”, “תתחתני איתי”. As you have already guessed these words are “Will you marry me?”. We can cure ourselves from different illnesses with the help of medicines, but the only remedy for loneliness, despair and hopelessness is LOVE. There are many people in the world, who suffer from hunger, but there are much more people, who die from the lack of love. Wedding is a special day for every person, it’s a day when you both give birth to a new cell of society, to a new family. This event we can by right call the second important day of your life after the fact of birth.

The word wedding comes from the root meaning to gamble or wager. The Anglo-Saxon word "wedd" meant that the groom would vow to marry the woman, but it also meant the money or barter that the groom paid the bride's father. Wedding itself is a kind of ritual, a kind of tradition.

So, when you hear words that are mentioned above, I mean the proposal, lots of different thoughts appear in your head… if you agreed, you would get next portion of reflections, like: “What dress to wear?” (cut, color, length etc.), “Whom to invite?” (list of guests, invitations etc.), “Where to celebrate” (restaurant, hotel, at the sea, on the nature etc.), “How to decorate the celebration room/place?” (colors, tints, bouquets, balloons etc.), “How to deliver guests and what car to choose for impressive coming up?” (cars or other kind of transport). Too many thoughts and your head is about to blow up. But you should remember that you are to pass all this way to realize the dream of you childhood, to wear this tiny, little white dress and to hear the priest’s words: “"Do you, (your name), take (his/her name), to be your (wife/husband)?". After positive answer to this simple question two human loves will make one divine.

You can see that wedding preparation is not as easy as to say “Yes, I will”. Not always wedding preparation, I mean searching for the right answers to the listed above questions, brings much fun. Well, of course, I mean everything except wedding gown, bridal veil, shoes, make-up, manicure and hair do. And when you prepare so called pleasant part of your “d-day”, there is a brilliant variant to charge some companies and agencies with organization of all other trifles. All these professionals are willing to help you. Let them do it.
