The other day, I attended a Chinese wedding. When the bridegroom went to fetch the bride, she came with a box of gold jewelleries and was searching for the mother-in-law to show her. The mother-in-law went, “HUH? What’s that?”
LOL, all of us have never seen this tradition. It turned out that the bride is bringing what you can refer as all her heirlooms to show to the mother-in-law that she comes from a family who could afford her gold and silver. Of course, it is just a tradition now. However, in the olden days in China, probably they have to do it to let the groom’s family know that she is rich and not to be bullied.
Anyway, it is good to buy gold and keep them as these precious metals’ prices keep going up and ver come down. Buy a few bars and keep now so that if you have daughter who are getting married, ask her to bring the certificates from Monex to show how much she has in the deposit. Good idea, right?

My little boy is trying hard to make funny faces. Nowadays, he is so conscious of the camera and when asked to take photos, he will freeze and give very fake smile.
So, instead of him feeling tense, I told him to make funny faces. Poor kid also have problem with that and need to use his fingers to form the funny faces. Such are kids. The older they get, the less they like being photographed. So, take all the pictures you want when your kids are smaller, ok?

I have watched many Hollywood movies where some of the women would sobbed at wedding. Wedding is actually a very sombre yet joyous occasion. Sometimes, I feel lucky because I didn’t have daughter that ‘will be given away’ at wedding. Have you been to a church wedding where the father will lead the bride to the altar where the groom is waiting? Then, at one point, the bride will be separated from the father and then, join with the husband. It is at that point when the bride gives the father the ‘last hug’ that really tugs at my heart strings.
Still, there is nothing more beautiful than a bride marching into the hall, garden or sometimes church with her veil covering her head. It is always a very breathtaking sight and one that should be treasured forever and ever.

Bridal Dresses are therefore very important because that moment is like when time stood still. Normally bride-to-be will take a lot of pain and time to find the most beautiful bridal dresses collection and pick a few for the big day. Nowadays, brides have several costume changes so one needs to find a place where to buy bridal gown at attractive prices.
It is good to buy a bridal dress because one can keep it for keepsake and memory. Do check out this site http://www.bestbridalprices.com where they offer so many nice range of wedding gowns for Spring 2008 . Some even throw in free bridal veil and bridal shoes. Take a look, you may need them for your daughter one day!

The other day, I attended my nephew’s wedding. It was just like not too long ago when both hubby (then boyfriend) and I used to bring my little nephew around when he was about the age of my youngest son now. My sister lived in other states at those times because my bro-in-law was working there. So, my boyfriend and I would visit my sister and whenever we were there, we would take my niece and nephew out when we go touring around the states we visited.
Now, he is married. And my little boy is his age. In a glimpse of an eye, this little boy too will be married like my nephew. It is sometimes very nice to see little children growing up to a man. And yet, in those happy thoughts, lurks my own mortality. Will I be around to witness this little boy of mine getting married too?
I shall leave it in God’s hand.

This post will interests readers from the USA because it is about the promotional offer from ATT satellite tv. I think every home cannot live without cable TV anymore. It is almost like a necessity. However, with all the competition out there, sometimes we find it so hard to choose because it can be mind boggling to find the best package suitable for the home.
Usually, if we have to do that, we need to call a family conference because very kid of mine have different kind of interests. At times, we cannot even come to an agreeable discussion so in the end, hubby will make the choice of getting everything in one of those bundles.
That’s why a lot of people are always searching for the best offer like these ATT offers. They are having some attractive packages for home internet with fast broadband, satellite tv and all the other services our home needs like telephone connection as well.
Do check out the ATT Internet offers if you are a resident living in areas where the ATT services are available. I am sure some may want to reconsider what they are getting now and find something much more attractive, value for money and packages that provide more choices.
