It is fun to incorporate customs from other countries into your wedding day. If a bride or her groom has German heritage, it would be nice to include some of the traditional highlights of a German wedding into your nuptials. Many of the basic concepts are similar to the elements of an American wedding, but there definitely are some unique Germanic customs.First of all, a German wedding celebration typically lasts for days, not just an afternoon. As is common in many European countries, a civil ceremony is a requirement for a legal marriage. This ceremony at the courthouse normally takes place within a few days of the bigger church wedding. The civil service is small, with only a couple of witnesses and the bride in a simple dress of skirt and blouse.
The night before the church wedding, there is an event called Polterabend. This German custom involves smashing plates and china (but not glass) as a sign of good luck for the married couple. The idea is that these plates will be broken, but never the marriage. At the end of the fun, the bride and groom have to clean up all of the shards and pieces. The Polterabend usually turns into a fun, informal party with the couples' friends, family, and neighbors.
Some parts of the church wedding will look familiar to Americans, but certain things are done differently in Germany. One big difference is that the couple proceeds up the aisle together without any bridesmaids, flower girls, or groomsmen. Remember that at this point, the bride and groom are already legally married. The religious ceremony is usually on the long side - up to an hour and a half - and includes a full Mass (for Catholics), a sermon, and singing.
The bride and groom's attire is not all that different from what Americans are accustomed to seeing at a wedding. The bride wears a white bridal gown, although trains are often short or omitted altogether. If the bride decides to wear a veil, she will keep it on at least through the first dance at the reception. One thing that might surprise a lot of people, is that German women do not normally have engagement rings. Instead the couple chooses matching wedding bands as bridal jewelry, which are worn on the right hand instead of the left. Of course, the bride will still wear bridal jewelry, such as earrings and a necklace, to compliment her wedding gown.
As the German newlyweds leave the church, they will be showered in rice. Throwing of rice is an ancient symbol of fertility, and the German custom is that every grain of rice that sticks in the bride's hair represents a future child. The couple makes their exit from the church in a flower bedecked car, followed by a procession of the guests, who tie white ribbons to their car antennas. There is lots of happy honking of horns, and the passing traffic will honk back for good luck.
The wedding reception is an all night affair in Germany (again, this is true in most of Europe). The party begins with cake, tortes, and coffee while the couple has their wedding portraits snapped. This is followed by dancing, the formal dinner, and more dancing until dawn. By all accounts, German wedding receptions sound like really fun parties, with games, toasting, and plenty of beer flowing. The couple's first dance, by the way, is traditionally a waltz. One interesting German tradition involves the couple attempting to saw a log together. How well they manage the task is supposed to demonstrate teamwork, and how well they will work together at chores in their marriage.
The fun does is not quite over when the party winds down. When the newlyweds leave the reception, they will get to see what sort of mischief their friends have created in the bridal suite. A favorite trick is to take apart the bed. Sometimes revelers will also fill the room with balloons, or do other funny things. (Of course it is not only Germans who like to mess up the bride and groom's hotel room. I recall sneaking up to short-sheet the bed and writing "Kilroy was here" on the sheets of my aunt and uncle's room. For the record, I was more of a witness than a participant - I was only twelve years old.)
A German wedding ends with a honeymoon just as an American wedding does. Beaches are popular destinations, and a great place to relax and unwind from the wedding whirlwind. After all, once you have cleaned up the smashed plates, sawed the log, and danced until dawn, who wouldn't need a little rest and relaxation?
Way back in my past, when I was at boarding school, I joined a Brownie Unit. I remember vaguely plaiting hair and walking on stilts, mind boarding school was so boring that I also learnt to knit and crochet ( no not at Brownies)- and yes, we didn't have TV back then, leastways only the seniors did.

Emo Hairstyles are becoming more and more popular nowadays - What has led to such an increase in people wanting to adopt this new emo haircut? For starters, bands such as Green Day and My Chemical Romance have transmitted the message that these emo hairstyles are the new fashion.
A Hairdresser is the person whose job it is to cut or style your hair, to change or maintain your image as you desire.

Why? Because girls from Russia are known worldwide as the most beautiful women that possess not only beauty but a talent to manage household like no other women in the universe and give love and care to their spouse. Girls from Russia make great wives and even greater mothers, devoting themselves to the family like no other. It is traditional for most girls from Russia not to be obsessed with women rights and gender equality as much as this may happen in United States, since they are more concentrated on building romantic, loving and trustworthy relationship, rather than the one where they would have equal rights with their husband.
To be honest, the majority of men try so hard trying to puzzle out exactly what girls desire, and what is the women mindsets? Having a woman to love you is not that hard, so long as you understand how to connect and fulfill what woman needs.
It makes me sad to see all the websites on the internet offering videos of girl fights. What's sadder still is that there seems to be such widespread interest in these fights, and that some people seem to get joy out of watching them. It says a lot about the lives such people lead, of what they must go through to get to the point where they see people injuring other people as entertainment.
Angelina Jolie (born in Los Angeles, California, United States, July 4, 1975, age 34 years - born Angelina Jolie Voight) is an actor women of the United States has ever nominated for Academy Awards. He is the biological daughter of senior male actor, Jon Voight. He began his acting career in the 1980s. In 2003, she married actor and singer, Billy Bob Thornton, and divorced in 2005. Then he related to actor Brad Pitt. Child outcome of their relationship, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, born on May 27, 2006.
Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie is known as much for her offscreen romances, adoptions and political activism as for her movie roles. Jolie first made a small splash in 1998, playing doomed model Gia Marie Carangi in the HBO movie Gia. She was a hit as the love interest in the offbeat air-traffic-controller drama Pushing Tin (1999, with John Cusack), but winning an Oscar for her supporting role as a troubled mental patient in the 1999 Winona Ryder film Girl, Interrupted made her a big-time movie star. She sealed her international fame (and box office clout) by playing the video game heroine Lara Croft in Tomb Raider (2001) and Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life (2003). Jolie's plush-lipped, brooding Gothic presence (and ample tattoos) made her a hit with the younger generation, and her wild-life offscreen antics made her a hit with the tabloids, especially while she was married to her Pushing Tin co-star, Billy Bob Thornton (2000-2003). Jolie has since become famous for her charitable impulses: she was named a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees in 2001. She adopted a Cambodian boy, Maddox (in 2002), a daughter born in Ethiopia, Zahara (in 2005), and a boy from Vietnam, Pax Thien (in 2007). She and Brad Pitt starred in the action film Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, but whatever excitement the movie generated was overshadowed by the real-life drama of Pitt leaving Jennifer Aniston to move in with Jolie. The excessive tabloid attention didn't stop Pitt from making movies: she made a special appearance in the CGI fantasy Beowulf (2007), lent her voice (as the tigress) in Kung Fu Panda (2008), played an action hero in Wanted (2008) and turned in another Oscar-nominated performance in Clint Eastwood's Changeling
Another product named after a celebrity, Paris Hilton perfume hopes to capitalize off of the fame and notoriety of this socialite. In this case, however, the name may actually harm sales. I mean, I wouldn't have bought this product due to the name alone. But, you should give it a chance. Believe it or not, Paris Hilton perfume gets a lot more good reviews than bad ones. If you like smelling sweet and very girly than this perfume is for you. It's described by one website as having almost cotton candy like tones.
Paris Hilton is well-known as Hollywood's number one party girl. She is not number one because she is the best but because she devotes most of her time shopping and partying all night long.
I know that we’ve been talking about red and pouty Megan all day and that post is probably aiming towards the Most Commented Post of the Week spot…
