Rising from the Ground – 10 Year Anniversary of 9/11
Posted by: | Comments
September 11th, 2001, I was six years old and living in London, England. It was about 2 in the afternoon when the towers were hit, and about 3 when they fell. It was near the end of the school day when my Year 2 teacher told us the news from America. I expect they explained it in fairly simple terms, but being only six, I doubt I understood what was happening. In fact, at 16, I still don’t fully understand it.
This video is in memory of everyone who died on or because of 9/11: the passengers on the four planes, the people in the World Trade Centres, the people in the Pentagon, and the brave civilians and firefighters who braved Ground Zero to search for survivors – and later to find bodies to send back to their families.
Something I wrote earlier today:
Do you remember the days when flying was fun? When children were taken into the cockpit to meet the pilots and see all the controls? When you could sit in your seat and not worry about what the person in front of you, or beside you, or in any other part of the plane could be planning to do? Do you remember the time before 9/11?
Let’s remember the 3,497 people who died ten years ago on September 11, 2001 ♥

Planning a wedding. Help me!?
Posted by: | CommentsWe only got officially engaged yesterday (although we have been discussing it for a while) so plans have not developed yet. i just do not know where to start!!
Our anniversary from when we first got together is in March and falls on a Sunday next year, so we would like this to be the date for the wedding as it is such a special date (and it means my partner doesn’t have to remember a different date haha).
This means we have 6 months to plan it all which should be long enough even though I know some people take a lot longer.
We do not want a church wedding as my partner is not religious and we feel it would be hypocritical. We also want to keep the wedding simple and preferably low budget as we would rather spend our money on our life together than on one day.
Therefore, we are looking at having a civil ceremony in a hotel or country house (or that type of thing) and having the reception in the same place. We were thinking of having only close family and friends at the ceremony and wedding breakfast (which will keep costs down). But then having an evening reception at the same place with more guests attending.
Would we cater the evening reception? Particularly with it being a Sunday and probably finishing early due to people being at work the next day.
What else do we need to think about?
Guests
Flowers
Venues
Menu
Transport
Dress/Suit
Invitations
Favours
Decorations
I’m sure there’s tons of things that haven’t even crossed my mind yet but any advice and answers to my above questions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
If this is in the UK
Getting married on a sunday and having the registrar come to the venue cost about £500. It’s £30 each to give notice and then an additional £485 ( this may vary depending on where in the country you are). So if budget is an issue then it is cheaper to get married in the registry office.
If you are positive you want them to come to the venue then you need to prevision ally book the venue first, then speak to the registry office to see if they have a registrar available.
As it is a civil ceremony all the music will be vetted to ensure that there is not religious undertones. (this obviously doesn’t include the first dance.
Usually you would cater for the eve, however if you have your ceremony time in the afternoon (2-3pm) then you would probably need to feed you guests once (on the presumption that they would have had lunch at home).
You will also need to think about clothing for your bridesmaids/grooms men, its traditional to buy them a token gift as well (we are getting the bridesmaids jewelry to wear on the day and the groomsmen hip flask’s)
Also Music for eve and ceremony, photographer, wedding bands, cake, gift list and honeymoon
