A Brief History Of Weddings - Wedding Day Trivia


wedding day

I have a few friends that are thinking about getting married, and even more that have already taken that dreaded...I mean overly joyous trip down the aisle. Getting ready for a wedding is no picnic. You have to find a place to hold the ceremony, find a good caterer, get your wedding dress in order, and coordinate the whole thing so that your family, and friends are able to share in your special day without doing something to accidentally ruin the whole affair. Still, it is definitely something that can be planned for in order to make sure that things go as smoothly as possible.

For those of you out there that are about to tie the knot, aka get married, you may be having some wedding day jitters. Well, one of the easiest ways to deal with those jitters is to do something to take your mind off the big day for awhile. Of course, another way to calm your nerves is to think about some of the folklore that surrounds the idea of having a wedding day. Why do we have wedding showers, and dowries? What are some of the most expensive wedding gifts of all time? And on average, how many couples get married each day, anyway?

If these questions have been perplexing you (or if you're bored, and have nothing better to do), then you may want to take a look at this poster by Moissanite which shows some very interesting things about the history of having a wedding day. A miniature version of the poster graphic is shown below, but if you want a bigger version that opens in a new window, just click on the picture.

FreeLoader Solar Battery Charger

I know there have been times when I've been playing on my PSP or listening to music on my iPod, and the battery dies. If you're near an electrical outlet, this isn't to bad of a situation, but there are other times when I can't get to an electrical outlet when my battery died (there's a restaurant in Dallas called Loft 610. Great place to eat, but they have virtually no outlets). That's where the FreeLoader comes in. The best way to describe this device is that it's a compilation of mini solar cells, is very portable, can easily be charged up, and holds onto the power it has obtained for up to three months (pretty cool, huh?). After you get it charged up you can then use it to charge up your electronic devices and gadgets such as your MP3 player, iPod, PSP, and so forth. This device of convenience is just barely bigger than a cell phone and is made of aluminium (the lightweight variety). Plus, the FreeLoader can be pulled open to uncover not one, but

MrBeast Burger - My Experience

  *** DISCLAIMER: At the time of this writing, I did not work for MrBeast or any of his affiliates. Also, I used my own money to pay for the meal mentioned and reviewed in this writing. If you have ever scoured the Internet looking for entertaining videos besides the latest cute cat video... You have, undoubtedly, come across a video by MrBeast . MrBeast is a very well known Youtuber with millions of subscribers stretching across several channels. In his videos, MrBeast, along with friends Karl, Chris, and Chandler can be seen doing crazy stunts and giving away large sums of money to people of various walks of life. Recently, MrBeast decided to create MrBeast Burger - a virtual restaurant brand where people can use a branded mobile app or website to order fast food items delivered to their door ( in some areas, you can actually pick up the items yourself, but at the time of this writing, that option was not available in the DFW area ). \ I really do admire all of th
