Royal Wedding vs. Dream Wedding

After the glamour, glitz, media and vows have come and gone in the end a wedding is the union of two people, the joining of two families. Of course most girls fantasize about what their dream wedding will be composed of from the dress to the location to the food, but is a royal wedding really the dream wedding? I think not, as a symbol of the british monarchy every aspect of that wedding has standards that it must live up to. Her dress, shoes, makeup, the food, the carriage, even the color of the horses must be within the guidelines of what is appropriate for a future queen. That said, yes I'm sure Kate had some say in the details of the day, but her decisions were most likely chosen from a narrow list of details already approved by some monarchy council. When little girls begin to design their dream wedding they aren't necessarily choosing from a predetermined list, after all thats the point of a dream wedding. Yes, the royal wedding of William and Katherine was gorgeous and no detail was left unchecked, but the rigid guidelines and restrictions to me would not be worth it. Not to mention that your day is supposed to be an intimate, emotional experience, and I don't think having everyone in the world watching would constitute the intimacy I would want on that special day. I definitely wouldn't want to be under the scrutiny of Joan Rivers because of what I wore, or what food I served. All in all, I think that dream weddings are just that a way to think outside the box and create something that means something to you. Maybe for Kate that was her dream wedding, but to me I need a little more creative freedom and independence in planning my dream wedding.

Technology on the Rise

Technology has been around for as long as anyone can remember.  From desktops, video games, hand held games, cell phones to laptops...now there are tablets.  Apple has the iPad, Motorola with the Xoom, and Samsung with the Galaxy.  Companies are always coming out with the latest and greatest for consumers to become obsessed with and spend their money on and thats what the three companies did.

With the battle between the three tablets, there was the battle between people getting the hand held computer into their own hands.  The question is which one is #1?  That decision always ends up coming from the consumers.  They are the ones using the items day in and day out, not putting them down.  The next question is is it really worth the money?  With new editions constantly coming out, why spend the money on the first edition of things.  Granted all three tablets make things very convenient, but will they ever be exactly what people want in a product?  Will it ever meet every standard all types of consumers want?
