Title: Age-Old Wedding Practices with Very Strange Beginnings

Getting married and living together may already bring some strange discoveries in itself. But here are some marriage practices, which many might think normal but in fact had odd histories.

Diamonds Are Forever

There was a time when diamond engagement rings weren’t common.
It used to be that five pairs of bridesmaids and groomsmen wore the same outfit as the wedded couple. This stemmed from an old Roman tradition wherein the entourage were used as decoys to fool evil spirits and prevent them from cursing the couple. Presently, the entourage outfits are naturally under-styled in order to let the wedded couple shine.

Old, New, Borrowed & Blue

Something of this and that . . . and a coin in the shoe. Whoever started this rather bizarre tradition anyway? This tradition was designed to bring good tidings to the newly wed. Something old connects the bride to her past; something new is for a bright future together; something borrowed from a happily married couple signifies a successful marriage; and something blue symbolizes faithfulness. But we all know there are no guarantees for a successful and blissful married life than strong commitment and enduring love.

Crossing the Line – there’s a reason why friendship with employees aren’t healthy for a business, but this cannot be avoided when relatives are hired. There could be a struggle when it comes to defining relationships and playing overlapping roles.

5. Determining Pay – it’s nearly impossible to keep business finances a secret from family members, and this might create tension when it comes to determining salary and profit share.

Title: Home Remedies for Minor Dents and Dings in Your Car

It’s always expensive to have your car repaired and made like new again. Be ready to spend a large sum for car repair after making that small mistake on the road. Unless of course you have full coverage for car repair. However, for those little, almost unnoticeable scratches and dents, you can always try the do-it-yourself way.

Minor Scratches

Inspect the anatomy of the scratch first before deciding what to do.

1. Paint-Deep Scratch - if the scratch is only paint-deep, retouch the paint. Clean the area first with soap and water, and then follow instructions on the car paint product you use.
