19 MayIf This Is Your Country Speak Up

Aside from weddings and brides of which we typically write about, here’s something we would like to share from a teacher who is speaking out on behalf of all US citizens.  It is so tiresum hearing about of all what the goverment is willing to hand out to anyone who comes to this great land, everything free, from medical care, education, living expenses to tax free business loans. What is wrong with this picture, when there are so many families struggling for the same cause….to live and have the american dream, but some how, the goverment turns a blind eye or creates enough red tape you have go through to get a dollar that is not worth the time to get through their beaucracy. But yet, you can have someone come from other countries and the goverment makes sure they are well taken care of on our dime. What is wrong with this picture…….THE GOVERMENT. 

Please Read…………………… 

We live in the land of the free, Only because of the Brave.
This should make your blood boil – most of all for those of us that paid for our children to go to school.  SB

 
PART OF THE PROBLEM – Think about this: If you don’t want to forward this for fear of offending someone – YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! It is Time for America to speak up.

 
LETTER BY A FLORIDA TEACHER– A TEACHER SPEAKS OUT
 
 
 
This is a subject close to my heart. Do you know that we have adult students at the school where I teach who are NOT U.S. citizens and who get the PELL Grant, which is a federal grant (no payback required) plus other federal grants to go to school?
 
One student from the Dominican Republic told me that she didn’t want me to find a job for her after she finished my program, because she was getting housing from our housing department and she was getting a PELL Grant which paid for her total tuition and books, plus money leftover.
 
She was looking into WAIT which gives students a CREDIT CARD for gas to come to school, and into CARIBE which is a special program (check it out -
 I did) for immigrants and it pays for child care and all sorts of needs while they go to school or training. The one student I just mentioned told me she was not going to be a U.S. Citizen because she plans to return to the Dominican Republic someday and that she ‘loves HER country.’
 
I asked her if she felt guilty taking what the U.S. is giving her and then not even bothering to become a citizen and she told me that it doesn’t bother her, because that is what the money is there for!
 
I asked the CARIBE administration about their program and if you ARE a U.S. citizen, you don’t qualify for their program. And all the while, I am working a full day, my son-in-law works more than 60 hours a week, and everyone in my family works and pays for our education.
 
Something is wrong here. I am sorry, but after hearing that they want to sing the National Anthem in Spanish – enough is enough. That’s a real slap in the face. Nowhere did they sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic),
German or any other language because of immigration. It was written by Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was written.  The news broadcasts even gave the translation — not even close.
 
I don’t care whether this offends someone or not but this is MY COUNTRY. IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP — please pass this along. I am not against immigration — I just expect immigrants to come through like everyone else.  Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in
 the past.

Together Forever Unity Sand Ceremony Set

Together Forever Unity Sand Ceremony Set

 

Is the unity sand ceremony a new and modern method for the bride and groom to unite as a unity of one, become one heart and one soul? Actually, using sand as a wedding unity ceremony has been around for hundreds of years but in the past couple of years has become more popular  from the traditional candle lighting ceremony. The concept of the sand is joining of the flow of two lives into a single stream much like the lighting of the unity cande. During the unity sand ceremony, the couple ceremoniously pours various colors of sand from separate containers into the unity vase, symbolizing their uniting  together as one. Just like sand art, the bride and groom both pour the sand creating a memorable keepsake of their event, then to be displayed as a decorative  centerpiece after their special day. 

Heart Unity Sand

The unity sand is not only a unique, there are a variety of sand colors to be used in combination creating an timeless heiloom keepsake lasting forever. With a variety of colors, choose 2 or 3 colors coordinating with your wedding decor or even choose  the favorite colors of the bride and the groom.

  Whether you have a sand unity ceremony, the traditional candle lighting ceremony, exchanging of roses or any other style or tradition of the unity cermony, it will be one of the most touching moments in your entire ceremony. You are ” Together Forever” and and now united in love forever in unity as one heart and one soul.

24 AprWedding Aisle Runners

Monogrammed Wedding Aisle Runner

Monogrammed Wedding Aisle Runner

Do you know that wedding aisle runners began back in the ancient times? The runner would be laid down to keep evil spirits away from the bride and groom, the white runner was called the pathway to purity and would protect them from those evil spirits which lived under the floor. Later as history portraits, when the roads were still dirt and mud, they would lay down a runner to keep the brides dress from getting dirty, the runner would create a clean aisle. 

 

Moving ahead in today’s weddings, wedding aisle runners are used as a traditional custom passed down from their family’s culture and beliefs or some brides elect to use a runner for added elegance and a decorative touch to their ceremony. Now, brides have a large variety of runners they can choose that will match their personality, style and even the color coordinating with their wedding. Beyond the traditional white which is still the most popular runner used,  the other popular style is personalized with a monogram of their initials, or names and date of their event creating the final touch to their wedding ceremony as the bride and groom step onto the wedding aisle runner and into their new life as husband and wife.
