Great website, correct function

In February 2002 Ben decided we were going on a holiday. All I was told was to bring a change of clothes for the week, togs, and a nice dress. On the night of Valentines, we had a stretch limo to Cowrie where we had a stunning sea food course with sparkling white wine. He kept staring at me all night I got paranoid I had something on my face, to which he answered, “Can’t I stare at the one I love?” he looked so nervous. I thought it was the sea food! After dessert, we were taken back to our cottage where we then left for a walk along the beach. He then stopped, told me how special I was to him and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, got down on one knee and proposed. There was a beaming beach light behind me, which reflected on Ben and the beach like the perfect moonlit night. I was so happy and excited I squealed, jumped up and down and said yes. Of course I hugged him. We were so lost in the moment that we totally forgot about the ring until we were about to walk back to our cottage. It was perfect.  Read more...

Glenn and I met at a mutual friends’ house one night 7 years ago. It was definitely love at first sight as we have never left each others’ side since and are still so blissfully happy as when we first met. Glenn proposed on Valentine’s Day 2007, 5 years later, at the Adelaide Botanical Gardens after a picnic lunch in lush surrounds with the background of flowing water. It was such a surprise and the most memorable experience of my life.

Within two months we were already discussing marriage, we were effectively “engaged to be engaged”! In March 2006 we shopped together for my engagement ring. Over the next four months, the ring nested safely in Nik’s possession whilst I was left pondering when and how he’d actually propose! On July 19 2006, Nik invited all of our family and friends along to our Flanagans gig. I was surprised and stunned when Nik begun strumming his guitar singing these words to the song he’d written.

What we found challenging was getting the wedding chapel and wedding reception venues decorated in time. We had to do the wedding chapel the night before but the wedding reception venue we had to do on the day so it was very hectic. If I had my time over I would have booked the place out the day before and set it up the night before.  Read more...

A millionaire made easy through giving!

There is a Japanese folk tale about the power of giving and it exemplifies how we can get the most wonderful of gifts when we’re gifting things to others and are positive about what we have already got.

Here is the story.

Once upon a time, there was a poor young farmer. Everything he did in his life never seemed to produce any wealth for him. He was totally broke with no money, no family and no food. So one night he sneaked into a temple and sat by the altar and in desperation asked the Gods what he was supposed to do.

“I have always been sincere and industrious, but all my industriousness never became beneficial to me. Where have I gone wrong?”

He fell asleep near the altar just after he put the question. When he woke up in the morning, he saw in front of him one of the Gods he had seen in his dream, with a bright golden light around him. The God’s voice reverberated in his mind.

“When you wake up in the morning, cherish what you have in your hand and go on giving it to others liberally as you proceed,” the God commanded.  Read more...

What is France best known for? The answer would be, a lot. For one, French cuisines have been a smash for the past several years. This is also the reason why France has been named one of the most visited countries in the world. The country is famous for its food such as croissants, onion soup, stew, crepes, Croque-Monsieur, pain au chocolat, regional cheeses and many others. Each French region has its own specialties that separate them from other regions. People also visit France for its wines. Most of the wines are named after locations where wines are produced. For two, France is one of the world’s cleanest places to go to. You will definitely be amazed at how even the poorest neighborhoods of a city have very orderly and neat food shops and establishments. Cleanliness is very much a part of French people’s life. They are not only particular with the visual appearance of a place; they are also very particular with how they look. It is important to them to always look clean.

French people are very courteous and friendly. You would not have a hard time communicating with them. They can relate well with anyone and they would understand if you can’t express yourself well using their language. If you are planning to visit France, it is better if you learn their language as French people take so much pride on their mother tongue. The best way to show them respect is to speak to them in French no matter how badly you pronounce words and no matter how little your knowledge is of the language.  Read more...
