Save-the-Date Cards
Save-the-dates aren’t mandatory, but they help your guests plan ahead. They also give you a little extra time to prepare your formal invitations. These don’t have to be expensive or stuffy, as long as they include the critical information: venue, date, time, and your names. Many couples see save-the-dates as an opportunity for creativity and make a video, record a song, print their information on a candy wrapper, or send out picture postcards.Wedding Invitation Etiquette
Some people really care about wedding invitation etiquette, while others couldn’t care less. Understanding what’s traditional can help you decide where on the spectrum your wedding will fall.The Rings
Consider this: your wedding ring will (hopefully) reside on your finger for the rest of your life. This makes it important to find one that fits comfortably, complements your skin and hand, and won’t decay over time. Expect to pay at least a few hundred dollars for a high-quality ring. (There is no real need to spend the American average of $2,100. Simple, quality gold rings of medium weight start around $300.)If you’re buying a ring without the input of your partner, you may need to do some sleuthing to find out his or her ring size.
The Dress and Hair
Stylistically, there aren’t any strict guidelines on wedding dresses. Long, short, modern, Victorian, lace, taffeta… the style and material should flatter your figure and match your wedding aesthetic.Your hairstyle should complement your dress, adding sophistication, elegance, loose abandon or retro flair.
Make Your Wedding Memorable
It’s relatively straight-forward to plan a wedding by the book but what if you’re going for something original, something your guests will really remark on and remember? The following infographic offers ideas for sweet, creative touches to make your wedding stand out. It’s all in the details.Tech is the New White
Today, no wedding is complete without a little high-tech gusto. Wedding apps help couples plan, pay, register for gifts, find seasonal foods and flowers, book venues, share photographs, and much more. Brides and grooms-to-be are using iTunes playlists instead of DJs or bands, Facebook events instead of save-the-dates, and wedding websites instead of complicated invitations.Anni Murray is a writer, editor, multimedia artist, amateur mycologist, and biology student.

7 Of The Most Frighteningly Bizarre Ocean Creatures

The Hatchetfish
Given the extreme depths to which scientists must go to find these frightful–and tiny–fish, little is known about the hatchetfish. Making top models around the world jealous, the morose-looking creatures derive their name from how razor-thin they are. Anatomically speaking, the hatchetfish’s thorax is supposed to resemble the blade of the hatchet, and its cold, silver glint the metal. Their name is somewhat deceiving, though; measuring in at a mere one to five inches in length, the hatchetfish is hardly deadly. It’s just, well, pretty terrifying.Read more at http://all-that-is-interesting.com/bizarre-ocean-creatures#Yc34tWHxkg4IdWKr.99

At
first, the photo seems to depict two fingers, but these are not what
you think they are. The photo is actually of a young woman’s legs.
The woman was told to kneel in frozen peas (or possibly dried chickpeas) as a form of torture. This kind of punishment has been used in some cultures to motivate students to behave or to become subservient. This is a viral image going across the internet. Some sources have listed this photo as that of a school girl being punished by her teacher, but others have argued that the picture was sourced from a website for individuals who get a kick out of watching this type of punishment from one to another. Yes folks, believe it or not some get satisfaction by watching others who experience physical pain.
Please do share your thoughts on what you think this is and if this is an acceptable form of dicipline.
OUCH!
