These Celebrities Absolutely Nailed Their Wedding Dresses
Published on February 25, 2019 By Chloe Draws
Our wedding day should be the best day of our lives. Some of us spend years planning every detail, with ideas starting in our teens. Weddings are romantic, symboolic, and mark the beginning of the rest of our lives.

Celebrities are no exception to this. In fact, some might say that they love weddings and marriage even more than the rest of us. Here, we take a look at some of the most extraordinary wedding dresses worn by our favorite celebrities.
After famously meeting on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, a wild romance battling newspaper rumors and the paparazzi, and raising several children, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt eventually married at Chateau Miraval in France. They had been dating for nine years.
The service was held in front of a small group of just 22 of the couple's close friends and family. Angelina's dress emphasized illustrations by all of her kids and was custom made to be a homage to her family.
Chanel Iman and Sterling Shepard wed at the Beverly Hills Hotel only three brief months after getting engaged. The star-studded gathering is exactly what you would assume for one of the world's most popular supermodels and the New York Giants' wide receiver.
Gabrielle Union, Chrissy Teigen, Tiffany Haddish, Odell Beckham Jr., and Shanina Shaik were all there! Chanel picked a Zuhair Murad gown: "I feel very lucky to have gotten married in one of his gorgeous creations," she said.
Whitney Port
When speaking about her wedding, reality TV star Whitney Port stated, "we wrote our own vows and had members of our family marry us". They didn't do a sit-down dinner because they are way more relaxed than that, and wanted something chilled.
The couple arranged so that everyone had little tastes of everything, including all of their favorite things like a bread station. At the bar, they named cocktails after each other's nicknames. Finally, all the music was chosen by making a playlist from the two years they were engaged. Very cute!
Native Californian Lauren Conrad actually rose to fame on Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and its spin-off, The Hills. Conrad had an unbelievable ten bridesmaids by her side on her wedding day. Why such a large number?
Some might say it's improper wedding etiquette. "It's really a personal choice," she stated in an interview. "I think as long as the number doesn't distract from the nuptials, you're fine. Also if you have a large group, having them sit during the ceremony works well," she added.
Amal Clooney
When you're marrying America's most desirable single man (who has been the pursuit of women for years), you better look stunning on your wedding day! Don't worry, that's exactly what Amal Alamuddin did!
The renowned Lebanon-born, London-based, human rights lawyer made it obvious why George Clooney chose to finally settle down. The bride looked like a Disney princess in a unique gown by Oscar De La Renta. For the reception afterward, she changed into a cascading red Dolce & Gabbana dress.
R&B singer Ciara and her husband, Seattle Seahawks football player Russell Wilson, lived up to every little girl's fairytale wedding fantasy. They held their matrimonies at the medieval Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England.
Dennis Leupold
The couple flew in more than 100 of their dearest family members and friends, as well as Pastor Judah Smith to give the ceremony. The bride wore a beautiful custom gown with impressive lace accents by Roberto Cavalli Couture. Ciara's son, Future Zahir, served as the ring bearer for the happy couple.
Sofia Vergara looked completely remarkable in a bridal gown by Zuhair Murad. Murad has been a top pick for many of the celebrity brides on this list, as we will find out. The Colombian-born actress, who captured our hearts on the sitcom Modern Family, had a fairytale wedding to Magic Mike stud Joe Manganiello.
No cost was spared for their big day, which caused the total value of the wedding to rise to $3 million. The service was held at Breakers Palm Beach resort in Florida.
In order to formally put an end to the rumors about her personal life, Robbie posted a photo on Instagram with her new husband and her amazing wedding ring! However, the pictures from the wedding that leaked to the press showed Robbie walking down the aisle with a pageboy.
Although it was just the upper torso of her dress that was seen, it revealed a beautiful cream lace off-the-shoulder gown. It is rumored that it was originally her mother's dress and had been altered for Margot's wedding.
They have recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary, but in 2015, Nicky Hilton looked amazing in this classic white, lace gown. The ceremony was amazing when she was getting ready to wed James Rothschild. The two of them got married at The Orangery in Kensington Palace Gardens, London, England.
Nicky wore this Valentino Haute Couture gown shown, which set the Hilton lady back a whopping $77,000. You might recognize the Hilton name – Nicky is heir to the Hilton Hotel empire. James Rothschild is a member of the wealthy Rothschild family – so this couple has it set!
Renee Zellweger
Some of the most memorable bride gowns that Carolina Herrera has designed have included those of Idina Menzel and Jessica Simpson. We might forget that another actress who received the luxury treatment from Herrera was Renee Zellweger.

The star of Bridget Jones' Diary wore her striking dress in 2005, with many of the guests admiring the minimalist fashion of her dress. The photos of her beach wedding with Kenny Chesney were beautiful, but the couple had an annulment only four months later.
Shenae Grimes
Shanae Grimes did things slightly differently when she finally married her long-term boyfriend, Josh Beech, in 2013. The 90210 actress chose an alternative black Vera Wang dress for her big day, a judgment many wouldn't make when it comes to exchanging vows on a wedding day!
While culture stands at wearing a white dress on your wedding day, 23-year-old Shanae had her mind in a completely contrary direction. Still, five years later and the couple is still going great!
The supermodel for Victoria's Secret, Miranda Kerr, found her dream man in Snapchat founder and CEO, Evan Spiegel. This bride wore a unique gown by famous French design house Dior Haute Couture.
It was the second time that Miranda got married, who was previously married to Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom. The couple had a modest affair at their home in Los Angeles, California, in front of around 45 of their dearest friends and family. Together, they have one child.
Ashley Tisdale is a singer and actress whose big break came when she appeared in High School Musical. Tisdale is also a modern-day model, even ranking on the Maxim 'Hot 100 list of Sexiest Women And Hottest Celebrities' on several occasions.
It's only fitting that her wedding to musician Christopher French, had her High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens as one of her six bridesmaids! The two of them had the ceremony at a private home in Santa Barbara.
Kim Kardashian (again)
For her Italian ceremony to rapper Kanye West, Kim Kardashian decided to wear a relatively conservative floor-length gown. She looked amazing! The whole of Hollywood was there to see this new power couple tie the knot.
Let's hope the marriage lasts. They have three kids together and now work hard to push important issues like prison reform. Try to keep up with these two!
This Brazilian supermodel and football quarterback, Tom Brady, are one of America's biggest power couples. It's hard to accept the charismatic duo has already been married for more than a decade. Together, they have a daughter, Vivian, and a son, Benjamin.
Lately, Gisele marked their anniversary on Instagram, posting: "I love learning and growing with you. Happy anniversary love of my life! Te amo muito!" The last part of her message means "I love you very much" in Portuguese.
Can you believe that this British power couple has been married for 20 years? The two of them married back in 1998 Luttrellstown Castle, Ireland. The Bishop of Cork handled the ceremony, which cost millions of pounds.
David and Victoria hosted a bunch of guests to the wedding that consisted of one of the most highly paid soccer players in the world, and the fashion icon previously known as 'Posh Spice'. 'Posh and Becks' are still going strong together more than two decades later. They share four children together.
The bride, who's known for her bold sense of style, kept her unmistakable tone with a characteristic pink and white wedding gown by Dior. The wedding was to British rocker Gavin Rossdale, but it didn't last.
The pair have since split, but her ex-husband says: "we had 20 years together and that in itself is pretty incredible. It's a lifetime. I still think she's incredible. It was a lovely 20 years and we have three amazing children. There were a lot of positives." We wish them well!
Reality stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag startled fans when they eloped in Mexico in 2008. As assumed for these two fame-hungry pop culture characters, they had a second and televised wedding (which was shown on The Hills) in Pasadena a few months later.
Lauren Conrad, Heidi's co-star and former best friend, went to the wedding even though there was speculation that she wouldn't show up. According to the show, she didn't get along with Spencer. Lauren allegedly "had a fit" at her friend's wedding, which isn't very nice but probably did well for ratings.
Actress Jessica Biel spoke to Elle magazine about her wedding dress on her special day with Justin Timberlake: "I wanted the gown to be very romantic and tender and a shape that I very rarely wear. I have never been crazy about all-white wedding dresses, for me at least."
"[Valli] had imagined that same cloth in a fuchsia-and-pink combination for a dress in a past collection, and I asked him if he could design that same pattern in a white combination, and he suggested pink."
The award-winning superstar, Christina Aguilera, married her manager Jordan Bratman when she was 24. However, things didn't last long for the couple after their massive $3 million Santa Barbara wedding. In an interview about the divorce with People Magazine, Christina stated:
"I've grown as a woman and he's grown as a person. We were both seeking different things. We just weren't right for one another. I couldn't face living another five years together and feeling that I wasted that time being unhappy."
Snooki – whose real name is Nicole Polizzi – married her husband in front of 500 wide-eyed guests. Talking about her big day, she told reporters, "I had the worst anxiety. I was nervous, I had to have a little shot of vodka. Like, I was saying, 'where's my vodka? I need my nerves to calm down.'"
Despite the nerves, she admits, "it was honestly the best day of my life. I want to renew my vows next year just so I can have a celebration again and relive that moment because it was so marvelous."
Eva Longoria chose her famous fashion designer and close friend, Victoria Beckham, to design her wedding dress. We think she couldn't have selected a nicer dress if she tried. The modest white gown fit the Desperate Housewives actress perfectly when she married her third husband, José Bastón.
It was also a bit of a variation from her choice of wedding dress to her ceremony beforehand to Tony Parker. Eva and José married in 2016 and just recently greeted their first child together, a boy called Santiago Enrique Bastón.
Allison Williams wedded Ricky Van Veen in 2015, choosing Oscar de la Renta as her wedding dress designer. She is best known for her performance in the hit HBO series, Girls. Allison and her new husband invited visitors to the Brush Creek Ranch in Wyoming.
She said she had one demand for the dress when it was designed. She knew he would be the best man for the job, declaring, "I wanted sleeves because I'm always cold." We think she looks amazing.
Ashlee Simpson is a different bride who wanted to stay away from ritual when it came to her wedding gown. In fact, the American singer picked a Houghton Bride crop top, bralette, and lace skirt, when she wedded Evan Ross in 2014.
Ross is an actor remembered for his role in The Hunger Games, while also being the son of singer Diana Ross. Soon after the couple celebrated their one year anniversary, they were joined by a daughter named Jagger Snow Ross.
Arlenis Sosa
Arlenis Sosa showed us she was every bit a supermodel when she married basketball player Donnie McGrath four years ago. The couple married in the model's original home of the Dominican Republic, where they welcomed 150 guests to watch them say their vows in a beach ceremony.
Arlenis glistened in this Reem Acra dress, which fit her model body to perfection. The design was made up of a lace top with a simple and beautiful finish. The bride looked breathtaking as she walked down the aisle with her veil flowing behind her.
Gabrielle Union has been on the silver screen for a long time, looking effortlessly beautiful every time. Once again, the famous actress was a vision when she married Dwayne Wade in 2014.
This was the second marriage for the Bad Boys II star, and she wanted to wear a custom Dennis Basso for the event. Dwayne was already a father of three at the time of wedding Gabrielle, and the new bride chose to walk down the aisle with her step-sons.
Jamie Lynn Spears rose to fame as Britney Spears' younger sister. She shocked the world when she fell pregnant at the young age of just 16. Quickly, her popular television series, Zoey 101, was canceled. Regardless, Jamie Lynn welcomed a beautiful baby girl named Maddie.
In 2014, Jamie showed us she was all grown up when she wedded Jamie Watson in New Orleans. The one-time child star wore Liancarlo for her wedding day and had Maddie as her bridesmaid. Cute!
When Jamie Chung wed Bryan Greenberg in 2015, the star actually wore two dresses. The one-time reality TV star wore a Jonathan Simkhair dress for pre-vow photos, and then Monique Lhuillier for the ceremony. The pair swapped vows on Halloween in front of their friends and family at El Capitan Canyon in Santa Barbara, California.
In fact, the event was a three-day wedding and began with a welcome dinner on the Friday night in the forest. Guests were urged to wear costumes for the meal, which sounds like fun!
When Anna Camp and Skylar Astin married in 2016, it put Pitch Perfect fans into a craze. The co-stars started dating in 2013 before formally getting married three years later. They invited their guests to see them exchange vows at an outdoor service on the central California coast.
Camp wore a Reem Acra gown with Vince Camuto shoes and Neil Lane gems. The couple had seven groomsmen and bridesmaids, one being their fellow co-star, Brittany Snow.
It was the moment the whole world was waiting for. On May 19, everyone finally got their look at the wedding dress Meghan Markle decided to wear to marry Prince Harry.
The new Duchess of Sussex chose designer Clare Wright Keller, who is the first woman director at the house of Givenchy. The legendary French house seems to be a preference for the new Duchess, who is determined to go from an actress and public figure to a new member of the Royal family.
When Salma Hayek wedded the renowned French banker François-Henri Pinault, the ceremony was just as star-studded as you'd imagine for Hollywood. Bono, Penelope Cruz, and Woody Harrelson were all there cheering her on.
The wedding cost a huge $3.5 million – which is just small change if you're Francois-Henri Pinault – he is a billionaire, after all! The event was held in Venice's famous opera house, the Teatro La Fenice.
She has walked along a lot of runways and is one of the amazing Angels from Victoria's Secret. It is no shock that Shanina Shaik looked like the most gorgeous bride on her own wedding day.
The model newly married DJ Ruckus in a secluded beach service in the Bahamas, sporting a bohemian style dress. Looking classy and chic in white on her big day, Shanina had hired the husband-and-wife team at Ralph & Russo to help design her dream dress in only eight months.
Kate Upton married her beau, Justin Verlander, in a romantic Tuscan wedding in November 2017. As ever, the actress and model was a sight in white on her big day.
The Sports Illustrated model couldn't hide her joy as she marched hand-in-hand with her new husband, and her smile went flawlessly with her impressive dress. Kate chose a more traditional, long-sleeved lace Valentino gown with a long white veil. She held a bouquet of light pink, peach, and ivory flowers.
When the iconic Nicole Richie married Joel Madden in 2010, she decided to go for this unusual dress. While she has been expected to have gone somewhat over the top in her youthful, wilder days, Richie appeared to have had her own vision when choosing this dress.
Regardless of people's opinions on this dress, this mother-of-two has since created her own thriving fashion line, House of Harlow, so has demonstrated she knows what she's doing when it comes to style.
Way before Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian was married to NBA player Lamar Odom – only one month after they met! Keeping Up With The Kardashians and the E! TV network covered the costs of the wedding, which was rumored to have cost more than $1 million – small change for a member of the Kardashians!
The two made $300,000 by offering exclusive rights to their wedding photos to OK! Magazine. Khloe wore a tiered strapless Vera Wang dress with purple tints that displayed off her nice figure.
Reality star Audrina Patridge wedded her longtime boyfriend Corey Bonahan in Hawaii, just a few months after welcoming their daughter to the world.
Her wedding gown designer was living in Australia and explained, "It was just by luck that we were going to New York for Bridal Week that we were able to take the dress with us. We popped it on her and did a few changes. Audrina adored it. She was just delighted and over the moon."
Kaley Cuoco before got married in a pink, princess-like, gown, but sadly that marriage ended in divorce. The Big Bang Theory actress recently wed for a second time, and this time she wore a bespoke Reem Acra 1920s-inspired gown (in white!).
The detailing in the lace and the way it fit flawlessly on the actress made this one of the most wonderful wedding dresses we've seen. In fact, it took 50 yards of pure silk and ten designers who hand sewed the gown to get this entire look.
It was the Wedding of the Decade, and for a very good reason. Almost 2.5 billion people turned to their tellies to watch the heir to the British throne, Prince William of Wales, marry his longtime partner, Kate Middleton.
The two held the ceremony at Westminster Abbey with the bride in a gorgeous Alexander McQueen dress. The hall was full of all your favorite celebrities and broadcast all around the world.
Amy Schumer talked about her good pal's, Jennifer Lawrence, speech at her wedding to Chris Fischer, a chef. Her new husband is also the brother of her personal assistant.
This funny woman wore a modest white dress and looked absolutely charming as she walked down the aisle. Do you think the marriage will last? We hope so!
This Royal married Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle in St. George's Chapel. The white dress was designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos.
The wedding took place in October 2018 and marked just one of the Royal Weddings that took place that year. Princess Eugenie wore a gown with a low back – a very specific request since she had surgery to correct scoliosis when she was 12.
The actress and entrepreneur wore a laced Valentino dress cut with a cathedral-length veil and custom bodice. The union took place at the couple's Hamptons mansion and hosted plenty of celebrity guests such as friends Cameron Diaz and Stella McCartney.
This was Paltrow's second marriage after her famous 'conscious uncoupling' to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
Solange Knowles
Solange Knowles shunned many of the regular wedding elements to marry her long-term love, Alan Ferguson. The bride entered the ceremony, which took place in New Orleans, on a bike!
She wore a Stéphane Rolland jumpsuit before switching into an Humberto Leon for Kenzo gown. The party went from the church in the style of a brass band parade, complete with dancing, sparklers, and live music.
Kate Bosworth married her love Michael Polish in 2013, in a ceremony accompanied by approximately 50 close friends and family in Philipsburg, Montana.
She arrived at the service in a stagecoach pulled by two horses and wore a strapless, full-skirted Oscar de la Renta gown finished with an eight-foot-long, 16-foot-wide train and coupled with a full-length veil. For the party, the actress transformed into a floral embellished dress with an illusion neckline and cap sleeves, also by De la Renta.
Margherita Missoni
Margherita Missoni wedded Eugenio Amos way back in 2012, in the church of Santa Maria Annunciata in her hometown, Brunello. The socialite called on her friend, Giambattista Valli, to guide on the long-sleeved gown. It was made using Missoni silk (of course!) and organza and decorated with flower applications.
"The dress was made by the women who saw me growing up, following my precise directions and with Giamba's 'couture counseling'," she explained in an interview.
The Les Mis and The Dark Knight Rises star married Adam Shulman in 2012, in an outside sunset service in Big Sur, California. Hathaway wore a bespoke Valentino bridal dress, which emphasized intricate lace and embroidery.
The gown was matched with a climactic full-length veil and vintage-inspired headpiece. Guests partied with the newly-wedded couple until the early hours of the morning – and the couple is still going strong today.
Nancy Shevell
In October 2011, Sir Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell got married at London's Old Marylebone Town Hall. The beautiful bride wore a classic dress designed by her new daughter-in-law, Stella.
LEON NEAL/AFP/Getty Images
Overall, the entire day was full of moving tributes, with Paul having married first wife Linda – who died in 1998 – at the same venue. Also, the date would have been the 71st birthday of John Lennon – Paul's fellow Beatle.
Kate Moss wedded Jamie Hince in a John Galliano gown at St Peter's church in Southrop way back in 2011. Moss wore a custom-made gown by John Galliano, which was exhibited in the Victoria & Albert museum in 2014 as part of its exhibition of wedding dresses.
Speaking of the dress, Kate after has said she had wanted: "a classic Galliano, those chiffon thirties kind. I've lived in his dresses for years, and they just make me feel so comfortable. But it's so much more couture, couture, couture. Oh, my God, the work that's going into the dress!"
Keira Knighley
Keira Knightley married Klaxons musician James Righton in the South of France. The Love, Actually star wore a Chanel couture spring/summer 2006 pale grey tulle, bustier, dress that reached the knee. Knightley matched her dress with a white tweed jacket created by Karl Lagerfeld.
The modest ceremony – which was held in front of just 11 guests! It happened at a town hall in Mazan, 12 miles from Marseille in France. The party was then hosted at a home owned by Knightley's mother, playwright Sharman MacDonald, in a tent constructed in the garden.
Iconic 1960s designer John Bates designed this red velvet wedding dress that Cilla Black wore to marry Bobby Willis, way back in 1969. Always eager to make an impression, it is a stark difference to the conventional white worn by brides on their big day.
The choice of red wasn't a gimmick: the two were married for more than 30 years, way up until his death in 1999. Cilla died 16 years later, in 2015, after falling and hitting her head.
She may not be married to Prince William, but Pippa Middleton's union was (almost) as grand as her royal sister Kate's. The day she finally settled down with James Matthews, Pippa arrived at St Mark's Church, England, donning a gorgeous dress with a high neck and an ivory gown.
With unique lace that brought class to the subtle detail of the gown, Pippa was assured to stand out from the guests on her big day.
Britney Spears astounded the nation when she quickly married her back-up dancer, Kevin Federline. But did you know that she was actually the one who proposed! In an interview, she recalled: "Then all of a sudden I said, 'What if you want to get married?'
And I kind of went from there to ask him if he would marry me. I asked him… He said no because he thought it wasn't the right way to do it." A week later, Kevin bought Britney a ring and the rest is well documented!
Zara Philips
Zara Phillips married her husband, rugby player Mike Tindall, at Canongate Kirk church in 2011. Located in Edinburgh, she was wearing an ivory silk satin gown by a favorite of the royals, Stewart Parvin, and a tiara given to her by her mother, Princess Anne.
vogue.co.uk
Princess Anne is, of course, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth, meaning this Royal Wedding saw all the famous faces we know and love today. The couple share two children.
In 2010, Lara Stone married British comedian David Walliams at Claridge's. She was wearing a dress designed by her friend Riccardo Tisci. But don't worry, this wasn't it!
After the ceremony, the pair changed into different outfits, and here Stone is seen wearing a second Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy dress. Sadly, the couple divorced soon after.
For her wedding to Ellen DeGeneres in 2008, Portia de Rossi decided to wear a pale pink tulle gown by Zac Posen. Her new bride, Ellen, chose a more subtle white suit.
These two have been married for 11 years and remain strong examples of gay rights. After this, a slew of same-sex marriages came and went proving that the new lifestyle was here to stay.
Alas, it was never meant to last. Holmes' wedding to action star Tom Cruise was all that everyone was talking about when they wedded in 2006. It was a few months after the birth of their daughter, Suri.
PA PHOTOS
Katie Holmes wore a gown by Giorgio Armani that was off-the-shoulder for the Italy ceremony. Sadly, they divorced in 2012 and the world truly never recovered. Still, we have the photos we can use to marvel at the 2000s nostalgia.
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
This marriage was a little different from the other Royal Weddings we've seen so far. Camilla Parker Bowles finally married her beau, the Prince of Wales, in April 2005.
The bride (and future Queen?) wore a gown by Anna Valentine, accessorized with a headdress by Philip Treacy with L.K. Bennett providing the shoes. Controversially, these two were both previously married.
In March 1969, Yoko Ono wore a white minidress for her wedding to John Lennon. Ono added a sun hat and her classic oversized sunglasses. Zsa Zsa Gabor rudely said the couple looked like "two people going to hold up a bank".
Still, the couple were never ones to conform, and the former Beatle married in the way that suited him best. They lived happily until his death.
In 1967, Priscilla Beaulieu wore a dress she designed herself when she married Elvis Presley. The two wedded in Las Vegas, because why not? Here is one of the most famous photos from the event.
Their daughter, Lisa Marie, was born the following year in, but sadly they divorced in 1973 – only five years later. Elvis Presley died in 1977 from heart failure.
This is just one of the three dresses Priyanka Chopra wore to her wedding to Nick Jonas.
timesofindia.indiatimes.com
The gown was hand-beaded and hand-embroidered – which took 1,826 hours to make. It also featured scalloped sleeves, 135 buttons, a high-neck collar, and 2,380,000 mother-of-pearl sequins. Of course, it was topped off with a 75-foot-long tulle veil.
Before Meghan Markle, there was another Hollywood actress that would join a royal family. During her wedding to Prince Rainier III of Monaco, Kelly wore a dress designed by Helen Rose.
It was so influential that Kate Middleton reportedly took ideas from it when she married Prince William in 2011. It is considered one of the most elegant dresses of all time.
For her wedding to the singer and piano player John Legend, the former Sports Illustrated model Chrissy Teigen wore a few dresses. She didn't wear one, not two, but an impressive total of three different Vera Wang gowns.
When you consider the costs of the famous wedding dress designer's gowns, they range from $8K to $23K. This means that Chrissy spent more than most of us on her wedding looks. We particularly love the intensity of this dress. She looks like royalty!
Despite being only 21 at the time, actress Mia Farrow shone brightly at her wedding to Frank Sinatra. Her dress was partnered with a matching cropped jacket with a subtle bow wrapped around the waist. When they married, Farrow became Frank Sinatra's third wife at their ceremony in Las Vegas.
The marriage was not to last, and they divorced before she married Woody Allen.
Bianca Jagger married her Rolling Stone in 1971, wearing a slim skirt suit not forgetting a plunging neckline. When marrying her Mick, the dress had a veiled, wide-brim hat. She was four months pregnant at the time.
The ceremony was held in Saint-Tropez and the two looked happy in love as they started their new life together. Sadly, they divorced in 1978 after it was revealed that Mick was unfaithful with Jerry Hall.
Titanic singer Celine Dion wore one of the most elegant wedding dresses of all time. In 1994, she married her lifelong crush Rene Angeli. The silk and regal dress was decorated with hand-sewn pearls.
//luxurybrides.net
The wedding gown was created by Mirella and Steve Gentile and people spent more than 1, 000 hours to make it. The wedding dress included a twenty-foot train and cost more than $25,000.
Ok, so this isn't technically a wedding dress, but we couldn't make a list like this without including Mariah Carey! In 2012, she renewed her vows with Nick Cannon. Carey wore a gown in the style of a mermaid and was just off the color white – even including a black band.
Sadly, the couple divorced a few years later. They share a set of twins together.
Diana, Princess of Wales
Everyone loves a Royal Wedding! When Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, 750 million tuned in to watch on TV. Diana wore a dress from David and Elizabeth Emanuel.

The 25-foot train at the bottom of her dress is still the longest train in Royal Wedding history. The couple had two children before divorcing in 1996 – one year before her death.

Why Teach People's History
The Zinn Education Project approach to history starts with the premise that the lives of ordinary people matter — that history ought to focus on those who too often receive only token attention (workers, women, people of color), and also on how people's actions, individually and collectively, shaped our society.
This approach stands in direct contrast to the traditional textbook history. As anyone who has ever cracked a history textbook can affirm, they're boring. Passionless, story-poor, the books feign Objectivity. There is a lot of "us," and "we," and "our," as if the texts are trying to dissolve race, class, and gender realities into the melting pot of "the nation." As Howard Zinn writes, "Nations are not communities and never have been. The history of any country, presented as the history of a family, conceals fierce conflicts of interest (sometimes exploding, most often repressed) between conquerors and conquered, masters and slaves, capitalists and workers, dominators and dominated in race and sex."
Societies are dynamic, conflict-ridden, with power played out in every aspect of life. Historians cannot remain outside or "above" these struggles. None of us can. Our lives, our occupations, our consumer choices — and, yes, how we tell history — all take sides, and help move the world in one direction or another.
"Anyone reading history should understand from the start that there is no such thing as impartial history," Howard Zinn writes in a book of essays, Declarations of Independence. "All written history is partial in two senses. It is partial in that it is only a tiny part of what really happened. That is a limitation that can never be overcome. And it is partial in that it inevitably takes sides, by what it includes or omits, what it emphasizes or deemphasizes. It may do this openly or deceptively, consciously or subconsciously."
The textbooks most of us have read as students or have been assigned to teach throughout our careers do not acknowledge their biases. Yet nearly all concentrate on those at the top — the presidents and diplomats, the generals and industrialists. It's a winner's history, and implicitly tells students: Pay attention to the victors and disregard the rest.
A people's history flips the script. When we look at history from the standpoint of the workers and not just the owners, the soldiers and not just the generals, the invaded and not just the invaders, we can begin to see society more fully, more accurately. The more clearly we see the past, the more clearly we'll see the present — and be equipped to improve it.
Utilizing a People's Pedagogy
A people's history requires a people's pedagogy to match. The teaching activities included at the Zinn Education Project website are not a chapter-by-chapter guide to Zinn's A People's History of the United States. Instead, they feature teaching strategies that illustrate how people's history can be brought to life in the classroom.
A fundamental problem with traditional history and with traditional history teaching is that it can appear that each event leads inexorably to the next: this happened then this happened then this happened, like dominoes lined up and falling. Social changes can seem almost inevitable. Laid out in neatly sequenced chapters, textbooks present social reality as if it were unfolding rather than being created by people.
By contrast, a people's pedagogy attempts to present history as a series of choices and turning points — junctures at which ordinary people interpreted social conditions and took actions that made a difference. For teachers, this means not just telling students history, but showing them through experiential activities such as role plays. Role plays ask students to attempt to imagine themselves in the circumstances of other individuals throughout history and to consider the choices that actual groups faced.
For example, because of the enormity of slavery, it may appear to students that its abolition was foreordained. But this misses the significance of the social movement that sought to end slavery, its difficult choices, and the breadth of resistance, beginning especially with the enslaved themselves, that ultimately brought slavery down. In 'If There Is No Struggle…': Teaching a People's History of the Abolition Movement, students are asked to portray members of the American Anti-Slavery Society, a key abolitionist organization. Role plays like this one are components of a pedagogy that does not merely tell students that people make history, but seeks to let them live that insight in the classroom.
Another piece of a "people's pedagogy" is that it should engage students in explicitly critiquing traditional approaches to history — including their own textbooks. For example The U.S.-Mexico War Tea Party, invites students to assume the personas of 21 individuals, all of whom had some connection to the U.S. war with Mexico (1846-1848): not just Senators and Congressmen, but abolitionists, soldiers, anti-war activists, Mexican civilians and soldiers, Indians caught in the middle of two opposing sides. Portraying these various individuals, students meet one another to find those who support the war, oppose the war, stand to lose or gain from the war, and who have opinions on why the war was fought.
The activity, which takes about a class period, exposes students to a much more diverse range of perspectives on the war than they'd find in any textbook. But rather than take the teachers' word for it, students are encouraged to compare Zinn's chapter to their own textbook and an excerpt from Glencoe's American Odyssey is provided for critique as well. Whereas in the tea party, students encountered over 20 different perspectives on the war-Mexican, U.S., men, women, pro-war, anti-war, pro-slavery, abolitionist, wealthy, poor, white, black, Native American, soldier, civilian — American Odyssey includes three perspectives: white Southerners, Northerners, and Mexico (as in: "Mexico was outraged …").
An activity like this allows students to see how much richer and more accurate a "people's history" is than the traditional approach. A people's history (and a people's pedagogy) doesn't silence the perspectives of the elites, it simply includes more voices in the conversation. And a people's pedagogy offers students a different, more participatory, relationship to text. The traditional curriculum treats students as word consumers: read this and answer the questions at the end of the chapter. A more critical approach encourages students to "talk back" to text, to read for the silences and the neglected perspectives, to ask why certain choices were made, and to imagine what a more adequate treatment would be. In this respect, reading is a metaphor: when we ask students to evaluate text material for biases, implicitly we're inviting them to evaluate the larger society for biases. A people's pedagogy seeks to nurture active citizens, rather than consumers.
A people's pedagogy, like a people's history, should not be one long story of brutality and exploitation. Several activities on this website alert students to deep currents of justice and equality in U.S. history, and in diverse ways encourage students to try on the personas of people who worked to make this a more democratic society. A people's history and pedagogy ought to allow students to recognize that "we" were not necessarily the ones stealing land, dropping bombs, or breaking strikes. "We" were ending slavery, fighting for women's rights, organizing unions, and marching against wars.
Matching a people's history with a people's pedagogy is about seeing our work with students not only in terms of teaching academic skills, but also in terms of building a just society. A people's history and pedagogy can instruct, inspire and caution as we try to make the world a better place.

The Travelers Companies, Inc., commonly known as Travelers, is an American insurance company. It is the second largest writer of U.S. commercial property casualty insurance and the third largest writer of U.S. personal insurance through independent agents. Travelers is incorporated in Minnesota, with headquarters in New York City and its largest office in Hartford, Connecticut. Travelers also maintains a large office in St. Paul, Minnesota.[1] It has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since June 8, 2009.[3]
Following the abrupt breakup of The Unicorns in 2004, members Nicholas Thorburn and Jamie Thompson simultaneously formed Islands and hip-hop group Th' Corn Gangg, and recorded Islands' debut album, Return to the Sea during 2005. The album was recorded at Breakglass Studio and Thompson's bedroom in Montreal, Canada, and was produced by audio engineer/record producer Mark Lawson.
Although the former Soviet republic might seem remote, Uzbekistan once sat at the very center of the world. In the first millennium, no traveler could pass from Asia to Europe without stopping in the Silk Road strongholds of Bukhara and Samarkand, and as a result these cities evolved into rich cultural centers. For intrepid travelers, today's Uzbekistan is a promised land: a Muslim-majority nation that's both safe and affordable, with few tourists and an abundance of well-preserved mosques and harems. And since the death of authoritarian president Islam Karimov last year, the new regime has taken steps toward reform that have given both Uzbeks and the international community reason for optimism. Improving relations with Iran could soon bring a rail link to the Persian Gulf, and in 2016, the Afrosiyob high-speed-train line began connecting the country's major cities. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan should benefit from the so-called Iron Silk Road, or Trans-Asian Railway — a Chinese-funded network of routes knitting together Beijing and Europe — once a segment connecting the country through Kyrgyzstan is completed. Book a customized journey with Exeter International, which specializes in the region. —Heidi Mitchell
The Big Easy turns the Big 3-0-0 this year, and in this city where the good times roll, the parties will be epic — think citywide art shows, supersized Mardi Gras parades, and a festival of lights using landmark buildings as backdrops. Thirteen years after Hurricane Katrina, there is much to celebrate: The Central Business District, once a dead zone after dark, now crackles at all hours thanks to four new hotels (the Ace, Troubadour, Catahoula, and NOPSI), each with its own rooftop bar. The neighborhood is also home to new restaurants like Maypop — a Vietnamese-Creole joint from acclaimed chef Michael Gulotta. Another area coming to life is the three-mile riverfront, where a renovated Spanish Plaza will reopen this spring. More riverfront updates, including a new Four Seasons Hotel, will roll out in the next few years. Toast the tricentennial at the Sazerac House, a French Quarter museum dedicated to the official cocktail of New Orleans, opening later this year. —Allison Entrekin
Landlocked Laos might be quieter than Southeast Asian neighbors like Vietnam and Thailand, but 2018 could transform the country into the region's next hot spot. Wattay International Airport, in the capital of Vientiane, is set to complete a terminal expansion to accommodate more international links next year, but the biggest changes are foot in the UNESCO World Heritage–inscribed town of Luang Prabang, in central Laos. This serene riverside spot lures travelers to its golden Buddhist temples, French-colonial architecture, hiking trails, nearby elephant sanctuaries — and now, glamorous new digs. Last year, the design-forward Azerai opened inside a century-old French-colonial building that was formerly an officer's quarters. The debut concept from Aman Resorts founder Adrian Zecha has airy, light wood interiors that nod to local culture in their use of batik textiles and Laotian artwork. There's also an 80-foot swimming pool in a tree-shaded central courtyard. The upcoming Rosewood Luang Prabang aims to be a destination in itself. Opening in mid 2018, this highly anticipated resort will feature pavilion-style villas, luxury tents, and a spa that seems to float above the jungle. —Kate Springer
The first season of Travelers has a score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes based on nine reviews with an average rating of 8.0/10.[9] Neil Genzlinger, writing for The New York Times, described the first season as "tasty", and "enjoyable science fiction", with "some attention-grabbing flourishes and fine acting".[10] Hanh Nguyen, writing for IndieWire, describes the series as "fun and freaky," finding the series' appeal "in how the core group of five travelers adjust to life in our present," noting the "human nature in the travelers".[11] Lawrence Devoe, of TheaterByte.com, called the series "tautly paced and suspenseful" with "well-developed characters", declaring that "Brad Wright has a real knack for creating futuristic series".[12] Evan Narcisse, reviewing the first five episodes for io9, appreciated the moral dilemmas offered by the series premise and the awkwardness presented by the characters' interactions with their hosts' friends, colleagues, lovers, or caretakers: "This is a superhero show in double disguise, offering up clever explorations of the secret identity concept that touch on the guilt and contortions that come with living a double life."[13] Netflix announced that the series was one of its "most devoured" series in 2017.[14]
Just an hour and a half north of Melbourne, Nagambie Lakes is one of Australia's oldest viticulture areas, with some vines dating back to the mid 19th century. This part of Victoria has long been considered a great day-trip destination for its outdoor activities — waterskiing, rowing, and sailing — and renowned wineries. Now there's reason to linger, thanks to the November debut of the Mitchelton Hotel, a 58-room resort and spa at Mitchelton Winery. With its fine-dining restaurant, the Ministry of Chocolate, and 5½ miles of trails circumnavigating the vineyard, it's the perfect base for a weekend in the region. Start your trip with a tasting on-site — Mitchelton is known for its Riesling — before venturing to other nearby wineries like Tahbilk, which has been producing quality vintages since 1861, and Goulburn Terrace, which specializes in natural wines. Other popular local vintners include McPherson Wines, David Traeger Wines, and Box Grove Vineyard. —John Scarpinato
Saint Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co. was founded March 5, 1853, in St. Paul, Minnesota, serving local customers who were having a difficult time getting claim payments in a timely manner from insurance companies on the east coast of the United States. It barely survived the Panic of 1857 by dramatically paring down its operations and later reorganizing itself into a stock company (as opposed to a mutual company). It soon spread its operations across the country. In 1998 it acquired USF&G, known formerly as United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, an insurance company based in Baltimore, Maryland, for $3.9 billion in stock and assumed debt.[5][6] By buying USF&G, they went from the 13th to the eighth largest property and casualty insurance company in the United States. Through economies of scale between the two companies, and a difficult business environment, they downsized the company substantially over the coming years by selling certain business units to focus on more profitable business units.[7][8]
Though decades of civil war made parts of the island unsafe, tourism is on the rise in Sri Lanka, where international visitors exceeded 2 million for the first time in 2016. The momentum is particularly strong along the south coast, which has the highest concentration of hotels and resorts after Colombo. The 172-room Amari resort recently opened on the beachfront in Galle (known for its UNESCO-protected Dutch fortress) with ocean views from every balcony. Water also plays a central role at Alila Koggala, a new luxury eco-resort with 36 suites and private villas, opening 20 minutes outside of Galle in June. The property sits on the serene shores of Lake Koggala and will feature an ayurvedic spa where treatments can be taken on a platform floating on the lake. Further along the south coast, Mirissa Beach is attracting travelers in need of a full mind-body reset. The laid-back surfer town — think Venice Beach minus the tech crowd — comes alive at night with bars and barbecue restaurants overlooking the turquoise bay; when you're ready to turn in, there are earthy, low-key lodges peppered throughout the jungle, such as Surf & Yoga, which offers daily on-site yoga and private surf lessons. —Alex Schechter
With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, the southeastern corner of Washington state is home to three flourishing viticultural regions: the Columbia, Walla Walla, and Yakima Valleys. But in recent years Walla Walla has come into its own as the next must-visit destination for oenophiles, golfers, and cyclists. With more than 140 wineries producing European-style Syrahs, Cabernets, and Merlots, there's no shortage of tasting rooms in the valley, which hosts four weekend-long wine events each year. The region gets its first high-end resort in February, when Va Piano winemaker Justin Wylie and James Beard Award–winning chef Jason Wilson open the 10-suite Eritage on a 300-acre plot north of the city of Walla Walla.
In 2006, a Travelers commercial titled Snowball was nominated for an Emmy. Snowball featured a man, walking down a steep San Francisco sidewalk, who trips and knocks over a table of items at a garage sale. The man and the items roll down the street, forming a ball which gathers garbage cans, pedestrians, construction materials, motorcycles, light poles, and other items, in a manner very reminiscent of the familiar cartoon "snowball" effect or the cult video game Katamari Damacy.[45] The creators of the ad say it is simply based on the snowball effect, they have never heard of the game, and that the resulting similarity was a surprise to them.[46]
That network can island off from the larger grid and run on its own, at least for a limited time, if there is a blackout. — David Roberts, Vox, "Clean energy technologies threaten to overwhelm the grid. Here's how it can adapt.," 30 Nov. 2018 The 21 percent that nest on the Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean and the Falkland and Tierra del Fuego islands close to South America would find their nesting grounds altered and would have to travel farther to find food and so might relocate. — Karen Weintraub, New York Times, "King Penguins Are Endangered by Warmer Seas," 26 Feb. 2018 In the offshore world, wealthy people and corporations use the banking systems of low-tax countries, often island nations in the Caribbean, to shield their assets from taxing authorities in their home countries. — David Heinzmann, chicagotribune.com, "Tribune exclusive: Pritzker's secret offshore holdings revealed in Chicago duck boat land deal," 14 Mar. 2018 Critics have said the exemption allowed UBS Group AG to sell funds to island residents that later suffered big losses, wiping out many clients' life savings. — Ryan Tracy, WSJ, "Lawmakers Expand Scope of Senate Bank-Deregulation Bill," 7 Mar. 2018 To find out why, researchers set out cameras to record clownfish behaviors near North Solitary and Lord Howe islands along Australia's east coast. — Jennifer Leman, Science | AAAS, "Why some clownfish are boring," 14 Dec. 2017 Authorities were letting residents and business owners to return to Upper Keys islands close to the mainland Tuesday morning, but people from the Lower Keys faced a longer wait. — Jennifer Kay And Doug Ferguson, chicagotribune.com, "Florida makes slow moves toward recovery after Hurricane Irma," 12 Sep. 2017 Dr Toomey's findings stem from his analysis of sediment cores collected near the Dry Tortugas, islands off Florida's coast. — The Economist, "PalaeoclimatologyTraces of old hurricanes show how hard climate science is," 19 Oct. 2017 The island was largely spared the widespread damage caused by Hurricane Irma on the chain's St. Thomas and St. John islands just two weeks ago. — Carlisle Jno Baptiste And Danica Coto, chicagotribune.com, "Hurricane Maria aims at Puerto Rico after slamming Dominica," 19 Sep. 2017
In January 2007, Travelers agreed to pay US$77 million to six states to settle a class action suit and end investigations into its insurance practices.[36][37] The charges involved paying the insurance broker Marsh & McLennan Companies contingent commissions to win business without the knowledge of clients, thus creating a conflict of interest.[38] Additionally, the investigation examined whether Travelers had created the illusion of competition by submitting fake bids,[39] thus misleading clients into believing they were receiving competitive commercial premiums.[40]
As Bali goes increasingly upmarket, it now offers visitors access to a buzzing food scene in Ubud, its cultural capital, as well as an island-wide luxury-hotel boom. The Ubud Food Festival, which is in its fourth year, showcases the diverse flavors of the Indonesian archipelago in dozens of events, including cook-offs, demos, talks, food tours, and events in new restaurants. Notable newcomers on the town's food scene include Spice, a casual Asian-fusion restaurant from Chris Salans, formerly Bouley Bakery's chef de cuisine and head chef at Thomas Keller's Bouchon; Room4Dessert from Will Goldfarb, whose now-closed avant-garde New York eatery of the same name won him a James Beard nomination; and Moksa, a vegan café, bakery, and organic farm with its own grocery. Heading up the wave of new high-end hotels is luxury Japanese chain Hoshino Resorts, which unveiled Hoshinoya Bali, 30 thatched-roof villas in the rain forest outside Ubud. Capella Ubud will launch 22 ultra-luxury tents, each with an outdoor saltwater Jacuzzi pool, in early 2018. And Jumeirah Bali plans to debut 123 villas surrounded by tropical gardens in upscale Jimbaran in mid 2018. A two-year overhaul at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay means its villas will now have bigger bedrooms and better ocean views, while at Four Seasons Sayan in the Ubud rain forest, guests are being offered a new activity: being rocked to sleep in a silk hammock in a bamboo hut by an former Buddhist nun, the resort's wellness mentor. —Sharon McDonnell

An island or isle is any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water.[2] Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys. An island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm. A grouping of geographically or geologically related islands is called an archipelago, such as the Philippines.
Those with a predilection for high-thread-count sheets will soon be able to luxuriate at the Grand Bohemian Hotel, a ritzy boutique property with Carolina charm. In the meantime, discerning visitors can bunk at the swank Westin Poinsett, a historic hotel that was rescued from the wrecking ball in the late '90s, laying the groundwork for Greenville's great Southern revival. —Rachel Tepper Paley
In November 2010, Travelers entered into a joint venture agreement under which the company would invest in J. Malucelli Participações em Seguros e Resseguros S.A., the market leader in the surety insurance business in Brazil. The transaction closed in June 2011 with Travelers acquiring a 43.4 percent interest. Travelers' investment in newly issued shares significantly increased J. Malucelli's capital level, positioning it for substantial growth in Brazil. At the time, Travelers had the option to increase its investment to retain a 49.5 percent interest, which the company later did in 2012.[23]
In 2018, four unconnected people suddenly undergo personality changes at what would have been their moments of death: Marcy, a young, intellectually disabled woman, is assaulted but fights off her attackers and is no longer impaired; high-schooler Trevor concedes a mixed martial arts fight after being overmatched; heroin-addicted college student Philip drops his syringe just as his roommate injects a fatal overdose; and young mother Carly stares down her baby's abusive father. FBI agent MacLaren tracks their subsequent communication and confronts them; they reveal that they are among thousands of time travelers sent from the future to avert a global crisis, and that MacLaren was to die that night while pursuing a murderer they have already killed; MacLaren is taken over by a fifth traveler, who happens to be the team's leader.
Last summer, the museum expanded its artistic footprint by over 130,000 square feet, making it the largest contemporary art space in the country. The new Building 6 houses long-term installations by artists like James Turrell, Louise Bourgeois, and Jenny Holzer. Two new museums are still in the works for North Adams, both spearheaded by former Guggenheim director Thomas Krens. At the Global Contemporary Art Museum, curators will work directly with artists to acquire and commission site-specific pieces, while the Extreme Model Railroad & Contemporary Architecture Museum will showcase works by the likes of Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid, all built in miniature as part of an elaborate model train system. Design is also top-of-mind at Tourists, a modern take on the roadside motel that's set to open this summer. The resort — situated on 55 acres at the convergence of the Appalachian and Mohawk Trails — will have 48 rooms, each with floor-to-ceiling windows that put the focus on surrounding vistas. —Fiorella Valdesolo

Perka's slogan is "We Heart Regulars." A company built around fostering localism by making it easier for businesses to offer "perks," they needed a space they could call home, grow into, and foster the same type of energetic atmosphere that drives many of the businesses their product revolves around. Two penthouse floors in a stately, century-old building in downtown Portland fit the bill perfectly, especially when coupled with SUM's unique and colorful design. Featuring a "sunken living room", built-in planters, a dazzling array of textiles, clean modern furniture, contemporary lighting and a giant suspended ceiling cloud in the shape of the company's logo, there is no lack of energy in the space. For a company in the business of "mobile loyalty", a headquarters geared around entertainment as much as office productivity promises to keep employees happy to come to work for years to come.

WE BRING OUR DREAMS TO LIFE BY CREATING NEW MATERIALS. AT THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVATION. AT THE FOREFRONT OF CREATION.
From the first use of rubber in watchmaking, to creating new precious alloys, such as scratch-proof Magic Gold, and producing revolutionary composites like ceramic and sapphire with unique colors, materials are always at heart of the Hublot universe. To achieve its "Art of Fusion," the Manufacture has its own Metallurgy and Materials laboratory, working in close collaboration with the Research and Development department, as well as its own foundry. These innovative materials are created and manufactured using the latest technologies, unique in watchmaking and developed by Hublot.
HUBLOT MATERIALS
Entirely unique, this is the first scratch-proof 18K gold
GOLD REINVENTED
Scratch-proof gold had never existed before, so Hublot invented it. Developed and patented by the Manufacture, Magic Gold is the first and only 18K gold alloy in the world that perfectly withstands scratches, even with an extremely active lifestyle. It maintains its beauty, shine and polished appearance over time. A true revolution in the world of precious materials.
MECA-10 Full Magic Gold
A high-tech material in a range of exclusive colors
AN AVANT-GARDE MATERIAL
For Hublot, materials are an integral part of their watches' design. They must complement their design, while protecting their mechanism and withstand the test of time. As such, the Manufacture has chosen to use high-tech ceramic for certain bezels and cases; it is an ultra-tough and almost entirely scratch-proof material (apart from the diamond) with a base of zirconium sintered at very high temperatures.
Transparency, radiance and robustness in unique shades
COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT
In search of the perfect fusion between movement and case, Hublot engineers and chemists have researched and developed a transparent material which reveals the heart of the watch, all while being robust enough to effectively protect the mechanism. That's how the Manufacture has become the expert of synthetic sapphire, a material from which it derives its esthetic qualities that are unique within watchmaking – transforming each watch into a work of art.
Hublot's emblematic material at the heart of the "Art of Fusion."
IN HUBLOT'S DNA
In 1980, Hublot revolutionized watchmaking by combining an 18K gold case with a rubber strap, creating for the first time a new type of watch. This daring alliance established the first expression of the "Art of Fusion" which has become the Manufacture's sign of recognition. Since then, rubber has emerged as one of Hublot's flagship materials and an emblem of its modern approach to watchmaking.

The MapReduce implementation uses a pull model for moving data between mappers and reducers, as opposed to a push model where mappers write directly to reducers.
In a push model, failure of a reducer would force re-execution of all Map tasks.
Startup overhead and sequential scanning speed are indicators of maturity of implementation and engineering tradeoffs, not fundamental differences in programming models.


Put the Cruiser in the garage and jack up the Left front tire. Remove the tire and the rubber flaps in the wheel well. Pull the starter and replace the contacts and plunger. While you have the starter out, replace the Fuel filter. Also, while the starter is out, replace the PHH. All 3 tasks are relatively easy to accomplish with the starter out, and in your garage. I did the PHH in an hour yesterday, not counting the time to remove the tire and the starter. I did the fuel filter in about 20 minutes, again not counting the time to remove the tire and starter. Access is so much easier with the DS tire and starter out, that you don't need to slot the filter mounting hole or anything else, just remove the old one and install the new one.
Another tip - when draining the block, get a 5 gallon bucket and about 3 feet of heater hose. Have a helper available to remove the radiator cap. Get under the car and remove the drain plug from the block. Coolant will seep out slowly due to the suction of the radiator cap. Hold the heater hose tight against the block over the drain hole, with the other end in the bucket. Have your helper remove the rad cap, and drain the block into the bucket. I did this yesterday, and spilled about 4 tablespoons on the ground - the rest went in the bucket. The last time I drained the block, most of the coolant went on the floor and made a mess.
Good advice. I need to replace my starter contacts and fuel filter.
so PHH is much easier with starter out then?
Sure, it's right above the starter. Everything's easier with the head off, too. And the motor out for that matter.
Everything's easier with the head off, too. And the motor out for that matter.
Man...why has NO ONE ever mentioned taking out the starter for the PHH?????
tominboise you could use a hose barb to drain the block if you didn't have someone around to help.

Irish Times view on the Mother and Baby homes report: concealment, past and present
Greater public cooperation is required to expose the truth and confront old prejudices

If the failure to record the deaths and burials of so-called illegitimate and abandoned children who died in various institutions during the last century is not appalling enough, the present unwillingness of local residents, public officials and religious orders to openly acknowledge such treatment shames us all today.
The Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes is examining practices surrounding the births, deaths and burials of children in public and religiously run institutions. In its fifth interim report – into burial arrangements – it suggests that, in some instances, deliberate efforts are being made to hide the truth. It is particularly critical of officials and employees at Galway County Council and the Bon Secours Sisters who operated the Tuam mother-and-baby Home. Extraordinarily for a public body, the council did not respond to technical reports of the Tuam site or a first draft of the commission's report.
Noting that the "social and economic context" had changed, the commission expressed concern at the limited co-operation it had received, particularly in relation to unauthorised and unrecorded disposal of remains at a disused sewage system in Tuam. In that case, the Bon Secours Sisters expressed "deep sorrow" over what had occurred and "apologised unreservedly". But they also challenged a structural report that found parts of the sewage plant had been deliberately modified to receive the remains of children.

A review commissioned by the Sisters suggested the commission's archaeological reports did not adequately consider the possibility that the structure in which the remains were found was designed as a burial vault and then used as such. The commission was succinct in its response: "This was not a recognised burial ground or purpose built burial chamber. It did not provide for the dignified interment of human remains".
In the case of Bessborough in Cork, one of three homes run by the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary, where 900 children had died, the commission found no evidence of recorded burials. Instead, the order supplied it with information that was "speculative, inaccurate and misleading".
The report found no evidence to support a suggestion that the deaths of children had been falsified so that they could be "sold" in America. Yet, chillingly, it disclosed that the bodies of more than 950 children were sent to University College Dublin, Trinity College and the Royal College of Surgeons for anatomical research between 1920 and 1977. Most people, it said, would find this arrangement "distasteful at a minimum".
A final report, next year, will address the causes of death of children in the institutions under investigation. This scandal remains active. Greater public co-operation is required to expose the truth and confront old prejudices.

Where: Lambeau Field – Green Bay, Wis.
After starting the season 5-0, the Minnesota Vikings have gone a dismal 2-7 and are in danger of missing the playoffs. On the other sideline, the Green Bay Packers are the hottest team in the NFL, riding a four-game winning streak.
Aaron Rodgers has continued to prove doubters wrong and is performing at a MVP caliber level. With increase in production from the running game the last few weeks, it makes the Packers offense even harder to stop.
While the Vikings have a talented defense that keeps them in most games, their offense has few playmakers, especially with Adrian Peterson out.
The Packers lost to the Vikings earlier this season, but expect a different result this time around.

Home Legal Topics Landlords & Tenants Handling Security Deposits Security Deposit Disputes
Washington Landlord's Guide to Security Deposit Disputes in Small Claims Court
Defend yourself if a tenant sues you for the security deposit in Washington.
By Marcia Stewart
Even the most meticulous landlord may be sued by a tenant over the return of a security deposit. Fortunately, you can take some basic steps to minimize the possibility that you'll spend hours in court haggling over back rent, cleaning costs, and damage to your rental property.
Know Washington's Rules for Returning Deposits
The most important thing you can do is to follow state law scrupulously when you return security deposits. Make sure you meet the Washington deadline of 14 days for itemizing and returning the tenant's deposit. The itemization should be in writing and state how the deposit has been applied toward back rent and costs of cleaning and damage repair, together with whatever is left of the deposit. For details on state security deposit rules, including any exemptions that may apply and interest requirements, see Washington Security Deposit Limits and Deadlines.
Prepare a Move-Out Letter
To reduce the possibility of disputes over security deposits, write a move-out letter to tenants who have given you notice that they are ending the tenancy. Your move-out letter should:
tell the tenant how you expect the unit to be left (be specific about cleaning things like floors, appliances, and window coverings)
explain your final inspection procedures
list the kind of deductions you may legally make (unpaid rent and necessary cleaning and repairs, outside of "ordinary wear and tear"), consulting your state law for specific guidance
remind the tenant to return keys and provide a forwarding address, and
state when and how you will send any refund that is due.
Inspect the Rental Unit
After the tenant leaves, you will need to inspect the rental unit to assess what cleaning and damage repair is necessary. Many landlords do this on their own and simply send the tenant an itemized statement with any remaining balance of the deposit. If at all possible, do your inspection with the tenant who's moving out, rather than by yourself. This will go a long way towards minimizing deposit disputes. Ideally, you will have used some kind of inventory or Landlord-Tenant Checklist when the tenant moved in so you can compare the condition of the rental at the start and end of the tenancy. Washington requires landlords to give new tenants a written statement on the condition of the rental unit at move-in time.
It's also a good idea to photograph or videotape the rental unit so that you have visual proof of the condition of the rental unit when the tenant moved out. Ideally, you will have also done this when the tenant moved in, so you have before and after photos.
You may want to offer the tenant a second chance at cleaning or fixing any damage you've identified in the final inspection before you deduct cleaning charges from the security deposit.
Prepare an Itemized Statement of Deductions
Once the tenant has completely moved out and you've inspected the premises, prepare an itemized list of deductions for cleaning, repairs, back rent, or other financial obligations required under your lease or rental agreement. List the item (such as repainting living room wall or five days unpaid rent) and the dollar amount of the deduction. Regarding repairs and damage repair, attach receipts (if you've already had the work done) or provide a reasonable cost estimate. You can use Nolo's Security Deposit Itemization Form for this purpose.
If a Tenant Sues You for the Deposit
No matter how carefully you followed Washington security deposit laws, and properly account to your tenants for their deposits, you may be sued by a tenant who disagrees with your deductions, or claims that you failed to return the deposit when and how required. Tenants usually sue in small claims court, where it's cheap to file, lawyers aren't necessary, and disputes typically go before a judge (there are no juries) fairly quickly. You don't need a lawyer—in fact, they're not even allowed in some cases. The maximum amount for which a tenant can sue in Washington Small Claims Court is $5,000.
See the Washington state court website for more details on small claims lawsuits rules and procedures.
When a Tenant May Sue
Before going to court, your tenant will most likely email, write, or call you demanding that you refund more than you did or fix some other problem involving the deposit. Some states require this type of demand letter before the tenant can begin a small claims case.
If you have failed to meet your state deadline for returning the deposit (14 days in Washington), do what you can to make things right. If not, and the tenant sues you and wins, you may end up losing the entire deposit, plus be assessed hefty penalties or punitive damages if you acted in bad faith when violating state security deposit law.
Settling a Potential Lawsuit
Do your best to stay out of court. Try and working out a reasonable compromise, perhaps with help from a local mediation service. If you reach an agreement with your former tenant, sign a settlement agreement in which the tenant agrees to accept payment as full and final satisfaction of your obligation to return the deposit.
If a compromise is not possible, your tenant will probably sue you promptly, but may have up to a few years to do so, depending on your state's statute of limitations (typically, at least one year). So, don't throw out cleaning bills, receipts for repairs, or photos showing dirt and damage, lest you be caught defenseless.
Preparing for a Small Claims Court Hearing
If the tenant sues you, the court will officially notify you of the date, time, and place of the small claims court hearing. Preparation is key to winning your case in small claims court. You want to make it clear that you knew (and followed) your state security deposit rules. In addition, you'll want to assemble tangible evidence to take to court (what you need depends on the specifics of your case), such as:
a copy of your lease or rental agreement, signed by both you and the tenant
copies of any correspondence, such as a move-out letter, spelling out your rules and policies on cleaning, damage repair, and security deposits
any move-in and move-out inventories (ideally, signed by both you and the tenant), photos, and/or videos of your rental unit that show the condition of your property at the start and/or end of the tenancy
the security deposit itemization you sent the tenant, setting out details on all your deductions
backup to the itemization, such as hours spent by you or repair or cleaning people on the unit, copies of receipts for cleaning and related services, and details regarding any deductions you took for unpaid rent
one or two witnesses (or written statements from witnesses) who were familiar with your rental unit and will testify that the place was a mess or that certain items were missing or damaged after the tenant moved out, and
anything else relevant to your case.
Defending Yourself in Court
Small claims courts are informal places, but you may want to consider watching a few cases a few days before your court date, so you know what to expect. Your court website may also provide useful advice. Before you go to court, practice your statement with a friend or relative, so that you can defend yourself in an efficient and convincing way, backed up with relevant evidence.
The trial consists of both you and your tenant explaining your point of view of the dispute and presenting any evidence or witnesses. This typically takes less than half an hour, and the judge either announces a decision right in the courtroom or mails it within a few days.
If the Tenant's Deposit Doesn't Cover Damage and Unpaid Rent
Tenants aren't the only ones who can use small claims court. If the security deposit doesn't cover what the tenant owes you for back rent, cleaning, or repairs, you may wish to file a small claims lawsuit against the former tenant.
Remember that you must provide the tenant an itemization by the state deadline, even if you don't send money—for example, if the tenant has left owing several months' rent or the entire deposit did not cover necessary cleaning and damage repair.
Start by writing a demand letter to the tenant, asking for the amount of your claim. Include a copy of your written itemization of how you applied the tenant's security deposit to the charges (this itemization should have requested payment of the balance). Ask for exactly what you want and be sure to give the tenant a deadline. Conclude by stating that you will promptly file a lawsuit in small claims court if you don't reach an agreement by the deadline.
If your demand letter does not produce results, ask yourself the following questions before going to court:
Do I have a strong case and substantial evidence to win?
Can I locate the former tenant?
Can I collect a judgment if I do win?
If the answer to any of these questions is no, think twice before filing suit.

Mata Vaishno Devi Temple - travel guide and personal experience of journey.
Are you planning for a trip to Vaishno Devi temple? Mata Vaishno devi temple is is situated in the state of Jammu & Kashmir and it is a holy place of Hindu Religion. In this article, I am going to share my personal experience with you and hope it will help in planning your visit to this holy place.
Mata Vaishno Devi temple is situated in Trikuta hills of Himalaya in Jammu & Kashmir. The nearest town in the foot hills is Katra and fall under the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir State. The holy temple of Mata Vaishno Devi is situated approximate 10 kms from the Bus Stand / Railway Station of Katra. Helicopter service also available from Katra to Sanjhi Chhat which is approximate 2 Kms far away from temple. Please note that Helicopter service is available only in the clear weather.
We travelled by Ahmedabad - Jammu Express train from Jalandhar City. Train left Jalandhar at 10:30 am and reached Katra at about 06:00 am. We stayed in hotel to take a bath and then visited the Yatra Parchi (Yatra Slip) counter to take the slips to start yatra (on foot). We can get yatra parchi online in advance and free of cost at the website of trust of Mata Vaishno Devi.
After breakfast, we started our journey on foot. We took a bath at Banganga checkpoint and continued walking. There are horse service available, Pithu (men pick the kids / old men on back) and Waggies (for disabled / old persons who can not walk).
We reached the temple at about 5:00 pm. Took a bath in the temple and stood in a line to worship Mata Vaishno Devi. It was pretty crowded and we had to stand in line for more than hour to reach the worship place.
We spent about two hours walking around, praying and enjoying the place. Then started back walking journey at 2:00 am and reached Katra at 7:00 am in morning. Then we took some breakfast and reached Jalandhar by Bus.
Altogether, it was a pleasant trip, rejuvenating mind and body. We were tired after the several hours of travel and walking but the kind of relaxation and peace of mind we experienced after this pilgrimage was tremendous.
You can reach this place by air, train, bus and car. The airport is not so close, though. Nearest Airport is Jammu, which is approximate 55 kms from Katra and Katra is the base camp point to start journey. Jammu is well connected with rails from all over the country and now Indian Railways has started some direct trains to Katra named Ahmedabad - Katra Express, SVDK - New Delhi A/c train and three daily local trains from Jammu - Katra - Jammu. Also Katra is well connected by Road. We can take bus service from Railway Station of Jammu to Katra. There are plenty of taxi services as well.
There are hundred of budget hotels in Jammu and Katra. You will find hotels in all price ranges, starting from budget hotels to expensive luxury accommodation. If you are on a tight budget, there are dharamshalas are also available. We can get single room in just Rs. 500-600/- if you have good negotiation skills.
There are so many food joints available in Katra, Jammu as well as near the temple. If you are looking for a lot of choices, then better you fill your stomach from Jammu or Katra. You will get light, simple food near the temples. Since you have a long way to walk, it is better to eat light food and also avoid carrying lot of food to reduce the weight you need to carry.
