X Overly Elaborate and Expensive Celeb Weddings ... post to category ... Wedding

At this writing, I 've been happily married for ten years (yay me!). I don 't know about you, but I had absolutely no clue what I wanted my wedding to be like. I knew how I wanted my marriage to be, but not my wedding. I found that there are some people who look down their nose at you if you don 't do “certain” things in “certain” ways. Whatever. I also found out that things can get really expensive really quickly; I was flabbergasted when I saw how expensive some weddings were, especially celebrity weddings. Now, I know what you 're going to say: “Why are you hating on rich people? It 's their money, they can do what they want!” I won 't disagree with you. Heck,

Chelsea Clinton & Marc Mezvinsky-around $2-$5 million http://www.today.com/id/38444780/ns/today-weddings/t/chelseas-wedding-k-tents-k-toilets/#.VdyvKs4gik0 This former “first-daughter” got married in 2011 to the tune of around $5 million. One thing I find really interesting is that they rented some air-conditioned tents. I 'd never heard of that before, but it 's a great idea; I don 't know about New York, but it 's hot enough here in Georgia in July that I 'd see a $600,000 air-conditioned tent as a blessing! Okay, maybe not that expensive, but you get the point. At least it 's useful, unlike some things...

3. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
What I find interesting is that the $6.5 million (or $12 million, depending on who you ask) price tag included buying out an entire hotel for the guests plus paying nearby businesses to close. They did this just to throw the paparazzi off track. Smart. If they 'd wanted to, though, they could have rented the entire country of Liechtenstein for less than that. Seriously, check it

Eonline.com states that, while the wedding did take place in an estate in the south of France, it hosted only their closest friends and family. The best part for me is the dress-instead of thousands of dollars in diamonds like other celebrity brides, hers was decorated with reprints of drawings from the children! Their 11-year-old even baked the cake! You can read more about it

    We all have heard colleges telling applicants that they approach each and every application holistically because they want to get to know each potential incoming student as a whole. It is easy to find comfort in that but we all know it is only true for certain colleges and certain groups of people. Groups of people such as really rich white’s who have the wealth to donate great amount of fortune to a college and bribe them into acceptances. In my Satire Skit, I am mocking the wealthy white’s that do not deserve to be accepted to any higher education Institution but because the world runs on money, they are perfect in the eyes of many.…

    In his satirical piece, A Modest Proposal, Dr. Jonathon Swift’s use of pathos demonstrates that civil neglect has debilitating effects on the poor in Ireland. Swift uses reduction to convey the degraded value of human life. Swift proposes that “the skin [of a child...] will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen” (I. 94-96). Since poor children are an eyesore to the upper class in the streets begging for food and money, Swift proposes that these children should be ridden of and killed. A poor child’s life, that would have been wasted away struggling to survive, takes on meaning by making use of its body parts to serve the upper class.…

    The retelling of the first accounts of European contact seemingly always mark the beginning of a “civilized” America while portraying the Native population as having been rescued from a “savage” lifestyle. The lack of formal evidence from the Aboriginal side of the story, in the form of letters and writings, makes it hard to deicer what the truth actually is which leads us to believe that the evidence that does exist, is the truth. In the quest for the big picture, Neil Salisbury, Ramsay Cook and Cornelius Jaenen have analyzed different types of evidence for the Aboriginal side to reveal that the Native population was in fact flourishing well before contact. Salisbury uses archeological evidence to show long standing exchange networks and social…
