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.

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

Funny Mailboxes Part 2

Image
Most people, these days, send most of their correspondence via e-mail, or posts on a blog or what have you. But there are still some things that you still receive by regular mail. There are many people that still get their phone bill in the mail, as well as, their electric bill, and their water, and gas bill. Not many people like to get bills, but they do like to receive letters from people - and a catalog here, and there is a lot of fun to receive in the mail as well. But what can make getting your mail even more fun is having an unusual cluster mailbox to receive your mail in.
