6.9.14


Good morning Phoenix, and welcome to Monday. Yep – it keeps coming back, doesn't it? Seems like earlier and earlier every week!
Here's today's version of Mating Advice for Mathias *grins* :
In Denmark, brides and grooms traditionally cross-dressed to confuse evil spirits! (So Mathias can wear the wedding gown…. LOL)
Because white is the color of mourning in Eastern cultures, white wedding dresses are uncommon.
During Biblical times, shoes were seen as a badge of authority because they lifted a person off the ground, differentiating them from barefoot slaves and serfs. They were used to seal a bargain and fathers would give his son-in-law a pair on the wedding day as symbol of transferring authority.
Because ducks mate for life, a Korean groom will ask a happily married friend to make him two small wooden ducks for his new household.
In present-day Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan, a girl who loses her virginity before marriage may be punished or murdered along with her lover by the males of her own family.
The top 10 “First Dance” songs in the U.S. include “The Way You Look Tonight,” “Just the Way You Are,” “Come Away with Me,” Unforgettable,” “Wonderful Tonight,” “From This Moment On,” “This I Promise You,” “Thank You For Loving Me,” “Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” and “All I Ask of You.”
Joke of the Day:
A man cheats on his girlfriend named Lorraine with a girl named Clearly.
Suddenly, Lorraine died.
At the funeral, the man stands up and sings, "I can see Clearly now, Lorraine is gone."
Quote of the Day:
The most important four words for a successful marriage: 'I'll do the dishes.'
Random Daily Factoid:
Nearly 10% of American households dress their pets in Halloween costumes.
Great Place for a Getaway:
Gatlinburg, TN. Gatlinburg is a mountain resort city in Sevier County, TN. There is plenty to do and see, as Pigeon Forge is 6 miles north, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is 2 miles south. It is along US Route 441, which connects Gatlinburg to Cherokee NC through the National Park.
Because of the ease of obtaining a marriage license in Tennessee, it is also a popular destination for weddings and honeymoons, with over 20 wedding chapels in the town and surrounding areas.
Have a fangtastic day everyone!  Brock
