On October 30, 2006 Josh and Mike wrapped up the second Roots Music Program at the W.J. Maxey Boys Training School with a fantastic concert.

The boys were outstanding in every aspect of the performance. As he did for the first Maxey Roots program, Robert Jones was there to add his acoustic blues magic.

This time, singer/songwriter Kitty Donohoe, who is working with Mike on a Roots program at the Adrian Training School, did a "cameo" appearance to preview the group song the girls from Adrian have written.

The Chinese Wedding Album is

The Chinese Wedding Album is a feature of many modern Chinese (imagine that!) pass4sure BH0-006 weddings. This is an elaborate collection of photographs of the bride and groom in a variety of different locations and costumes. We can assume that all of the pictures are numbered for the benefit of people who can't pronounce the captions.

In the Hindu wedding tradition, a turnip represents fulfillment and a happy marriage, while around here the turnip signifies a beef pasty.

Which brings us to the wedding feast. I'm pretty sure that this has been around since Oog cracked a saber tooth tiger on the head and barbecued it for his daughter Oogella's wedding. And I wouldn't be one bit surprised to learn that Oog's brother-in-law got into a little too pass4sure SK0-002
much grog and passed out on the pile of gift wrapped stoneware (made from real… never mind).

Of course one of the most familiar and universal wedding customs is music at the reception, provided by either a live band or a DJ. In either case, in addition to playing "The pass4sure HP0-S26 Bunny Hop" and "Mony Mony," it is the entertainer's job to keep the party going and to make sure that the couple perform important rituals like the Garter Exchange, in which the wedding party at large gets a good view of the bride's underpants.

In New Testament times the wedding celebration lasted a full seven days. pass4sure 642-681
Just imagine how much material those Judean DJs must have had to come up with!

In the end, though, I think that the cakes, the garters, the Bunny Hop, and the brother-in-law sleeping it off among the monogrammed chafing dishes are all just nature's way of helping us parents work through the realization that, when it comes to our kids, we can't keep pudding on their faces and stuffed weasels in their hands forever.
