10 easy steps to start Pampering yourself and your loved ones on a trip when you/her have always dream of going.

Explore! Go Some Place You've Always Dreamed of Seeing
Is there a place you've always wanted to visit? Instead of heading for the same old destination on your next getaway, go where your dreams lead. Learn more about that place and what awaits you there.

Splurge! Book a Top-of-the-Line Hotel
There's a reason the same hotels perennially crop up on best lists: They are better. Their rooms are bigger, prettier, cleaner. Their food is fresher and more carefully prepared. Their staff is friendlier and more helpful; they truly want you to enjoy your visit. Even if you can only go for a night, experience what it's like to love in the lap of luxury.

Sail Away! Treat Yourselves to a Cruise
It only takes one cruise to get hooked on the thrill of sailing: The fresh sea air, the diverse ports and activities, the all-inclusive price, the cornucopeia of food, the pleasure of having your own cabin steward to clean your room twice a day. Need I go on? Find out more

Say "I Do" Again! Celebrate a Vow Renewal
If you loved your spouse enough to get and stay married, perhaps it's time to let the world know you'd do it all over again. Many wonderful resorts host vow renewal ceremonies, and staff can help you make the event as personal and formal or informal as you like.

Gambol! (and Gamble) on a Las Vegas Getaway
There's no city in the USA that's more fun in Las Vegas. A couple of nights here will revive you, even if you find Vegas so stimulating that you don't sleep a wink!

No Kids Allowed! Take a Childfree Vacation
Robert Benchley said it best: "In America, there are two classes of travel: First class, and with children." Go first class.

Take it Off! Bare it All at a Nude Beach
From California to St. Martin in the Caribbean to Cap d'Agde in France, couples are taking it off. If you've always wanted to vacation clothesfree, or at least do some nude bathing, plan your romantic getaway around some naked frolicking.

Savor a Short One! Enjoy a Weekend Getaway
Go away. But don't go away far. That way, you'll spend less time traveling and more time enjoying yourselves. And you'll be part of a nationwide trend of people who take shorter but more frequent vacations. Find out what they know.

Let the Spirit Move You! Go on a Couples Vacation Retreat
Quiet, please, we're on vacation. At a place that's serene and truly peaceful. No ringing phones, no screaming kids, no distracting activities. To nurture mind, body, and spirit, spend your next vacation at a bucolic mountain, desert or island retreat.

Show Good Taste! Dine Out in a Fine Restaurant
Feed the fires of desire with an aphrodisiacal meal before an evening of l'amour.

Wedding Customs From Around The World

Here we put together a few of the wedding rituals in different countries.

God help the man who won’t marry until he finds a perfect woman and God help him still if he finds her - Benjamin Tillett

Wedding Customs From Around The WorldDENMARK

Arches of pine branches are built in front of the bride’s home, which symbolises fertility. During the reception, the groom disappears so that all the unmarried young men could kiss the bride and then the bride disappears while all the single young girls kiss the groom.

FINLAND

The bride has to walk from house to house with a pillowcase to collect wedding presents. A married man walks beside her holding an umbrella to symbolise protection and shelter. During the reception, the bride wears a golden crown, and is blindfolded. She is then spun around, while other unmarried girls dance around her, and the one she crowns will be the next one to get married.

NORWAY

Friends and neighbours plant two small pine trees on either side of the bride and groom to symbolise fertility. The bride walks with a silver crown and silver charms, and the music that is created by the charms is supposed to ward off evil spirits.

SWEDEN

The mother of the bride presents her with a gold coin and places it in her right shoe while the father places a silver coin in her left shoe, to ensure that their daughter will never be poor. The groom however presents her with three gold rings - the engagement ring, the wedding ring and the motherhood ring.

CZECHOSLOVAKIA

An infant is laid on the wedding bed to symbolise fertility. The bride and the groom break plates, and the number of pieces the plates break into, is supposedly in direct proportion to the success of their married life.

HUNGARY

The bride wears an elaborate headdress made out of strands of wheat as a symbol of fertility and an egg is presented to her to ensure the health of her future children.

BULGARIA

The bride tosses a dish filled with wheat, coins and raw eggs over her head… if the dish breaks then it will bring her good luck.

ROMANIA

Girls begin preparing their trousseau at the tender age of 6.

GERMANY

When a baby girl is born, several trees are planted. These trees later become the bride’s dowry.

INDONESIA

Thousands of guests attend the wedding reception and the bride and the groom have to greet each guest!

FILIPINO

The groom throws a spear onto the front step of his bride’s house to let everyone know about the intended marriage.

NATIVE AMERICA

When a youngster sibling marries before his older sibling, the older sibling must perform a traditional dance in a pig trough!

FIJI

The grrom is expected to present the bride’s father with a whale tooth!

SCOTLAND

The bridegroom has to carry a large basket filled with stones on his back from one end of the village to another till the bride comes out and kisses him.

JAPAN

The bride wears a purple coloured dress as it is their colour of love.

CHINA

The groom’s family gives a gift of a whole roast pig to the bride’s family.

AFRICA

Young girls get trained to be good wives at a very young age and they learn secret codes that allow them to communicate with other married women with out their husband’s understanding. In Somalia, a girl can be engaged even before she is born. In Sudan, a man must pay his wife’s family, cattle for the loss of their daughter’s labour.

Differences Between Love And Like

In front of the person you love, your heart beats faster
But in front of the person you like , you get happy.

In front of the person you love, winter seems like spring
But in front of the person you like, winter is just a beautiful winter.

If you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush
But if you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile.

In front of the person you love, you can' t say everything on your mind
But in front of the person you like, you can.

In front of the person you love, you tend to get shy
But in front of the person you like, you can show your ownself.

Then person you love comes into your mind every 2 minutes.
You can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love
But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.

When the one you love is crying, you cry with them
But when the one you like is crying, you end up comforting.

The feeling of love starts from the eye
And the feeling of like starts from the ear.

So if you stop liking a person you used to like
All you need to do is cover your ears,
But if you try to close your eyes
Love turns into a drop of tear and remains in your heart forever after.

Beauty Tips

A dear old lady was asked what she used to make her complexion so beautiful and her whole being so bright and attractive.

She answered:

"I use for my lips, truth

I use for my voice, kindness

I use for my ears, compassion

I use for my hands, charity

I use for my figure, uprightness

I use for my heart, love

I use for any who do not like me, prayer."
