Origins of Modern Wedding Traditions
Some interesting facts on the origins of Modern Wedding traditions
Nowadays there are so many different versions of wedding traditions. Some are deep-rooted in religion, history, and culture, some could be family traditions, and others were simply created for convenience, style copycatting, or from marketing. Here are a few modern wedding traditions with a glimpse into the symbolism and how they became commonplace today.
White Wedding Gowns: The color white is associated with innocence and purity, which is what most brides want to convey on their wedding day. But it has not always been the color of choice. Black or colored wedding gowns were the custom for European and American brides for many years. It was not until Queen Victoria wore a white lace wedding gown when she married Prince Albert in 1840.

Using Expression Web 4 to redesign my Website
In order to generate more business, I have decided to revamp my website.
My current site I developed using Frontpage 2003. This uses mainly tables and other methods that are not SEO friendly. I have decided to use Expression Web 4 to design and maintain the new site. Currently I am workning my way through “Sams Teach Yourself Micrososft Expression Web 4”
Already using some of its reports I have ensured that my current site has improved its listings
NYE at Soiree this year will see Paul and Anthony Linney playing a mix of Classic House tunes along with Deep house and Tech house floor fillers.
Free champagne is available to the first 50 to arrive and everybody will have hot and cold canapes and bacon sarnies in the early hours
