STILL ON WEDDING TRIVIA

As promised, I will give you the answer to my previous wedding trivia. I hope you will enjoy it and share it with your friends. You can use it as a game after the wedding rites.


1. Who started the white wedding dress? Queen Anne and Prince Albert of Saxe. In 1840, Queen Anne marry Prince Albert of Saxe and she wears a white wedding gown. Soon after, women all over Europe and America began wearing white wedding dresses.


2. What color symbolized purity? If your answer is white you are no different with others who obviously pick white color as the symbol of purity. But they were all wrong. The correct answer is blue. Blue symbolizes purity.


3. What color symbolized wealth? The answer is white.


4. How did bridal showers begin? The bride's friends showered her with gifts, so she would have a dowry. It all began in Holland when a bride's father did not approve of the bride's choice of her husband to be. The bride;s friends therefore, "shower" her with gifts to provide the necessary dowry and marry the man of her choice. While dowries are long gone, the practice of giving gifts still lives on today.


5. What is the history of bride's garter? The correct answer is: Proof that the couple consummated the marriage. The garter from the bride comes from the ancient custom of witnesses at the marriage bed. The witnesses would bring it forth as a sign but it became a violation of privacy. Eventually, the bride later on had the groom throw it to prove consummation.


Once again, I hope you enjoy this trivia. Watch for wedding trivia part II. For now enjoy the wedding party.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
