Your music makes your moments. Work with your Wedding Dance Band to choose the wedding dance songs, and the memories you want to have forever.

The first dance is reserved for the bride and groom, and this music is “their” song (first choice of the wedding dance songs). There is also a choice for the father/daughter wedding dance songs, the wedding dance songs for mother and son (mother and groom), and a wedding dance songs for both sets of parents (with the bride and groom dancing with their new in-laws before reuniting). The last dance, like the first, belongs to the bride and groom alone. The music is usually the one used for the first dance, but choices for the last wedding dance songs of the night may be chosen. For your reference, listed below are the Top 10 Newest Wedding Dance songs and the Top 10 Most Requested Wedding Dance Songs.

Should I Buy A Second Hand Car At Auction?

While it is possible to get a great deal and a bargain car at an auction, buying a used car this way isn’t always the ideal way to buy a car, there are better ways.

If it is your first time of buying a used car or you know very little about cars, then buying from an auction isn’t advisable. Perhaps the biggest problem with purchasing a car from an auction is the fact that that you have very little cover to fall back on if there should be any problem with the car. This is usually due to the auction house issuing a disclaimer, which many do, which states something such as “sold as seen”.

While many goods are covered by the Sale of Goods Act, some of the cleverer auction houses can get around this by altering the conditions of the sale by taking away the buyers rights under the Act.

If you do wish to purchase a car from an auction then it is advisable to visit an auction house several times before actually deciding to bid on a car. This way you can get used to the terminology used and the way auction houses work. It is also advisable to take someone with you who knows something about cars when you do decide to buy.

Most auction houses will hold preview days where you look at the car up for auction prior to bidding. This will give you a good chance to have a look at the vehicle.

You would be wise to consider having a vehicle data check done, which is a service that checks a vehicle’s history. It will show up really valuable things such as whether the car has been stolen, or the mileage tampered with etc.

Finally, it is essential that you know your spending limit. Don’t ever be tempted to go over that limit no matter how good a deal something may seem.

Car Insurance Advice

First of all you need to know that having car insurance isn't an option it's the law. Even so having car insurance should be done in a way so that you can get maximum benefits out of it.

You can get maximum benefits is you get a hole year policy.

Second you have to know the importance of the car insurance. Mostly the new drivers to the mistake of not knowing it or not understanding what can be the loss of not having the policy. They may suffer a lot by this huge mistake.

You are a driver or a car owner maybe you own a motorbike or another kind of motor vehicle than you absolutely must have car insurance.

Your insurance premiums can vary because of the following factors:

* Age, driving record, and the vehicle you own, vehicle's age and where do you live.
* Also before buying the car insurance, do a retrospection of the coverage components which are resumed below for you.
* Liability protects you in case the accident it's by your own fault. Covers the damages made to the other car and the medical expenses, the pain and sufferance of anyone injured.
* Comprehensive pays for the replacing of your car in case of theft or the repairs your car will need in case of fire, flood or powerful winds.
* Collision, regardless of whose fault was the accident this type of coverage will pay for the repairs to your car or the replacement of it on the market value.

Figure out what coverage you need and you will keep costs down. Many states don't require the same amount for the liability coverage. You can find out about these facts from your state department.

Also you could contact an insurance broker because he will know the current market and will get you the best deal.

By the way avoid the car insurance scams by making sure that your insurance company or agent is licensed by your state.

Shop around don't take the first offer you hear about.

And DO NOT PAY IN CASH! (This can be an easy scam to pull and you don't know how many people fall for this one.)

These being said good luck in finding a fitting car insurance, and let`s all hope that you won't really be using it often.

Memaknai hari Valentine

Dengan Puisi Valentine Day, kita mencoba berbagai rasa sesama kerebat, sahabat serta teman dekat. Biarpun hari valentine ini sebenarnya bukanlah hari yang istimewa bagi saya, karena setiap hari adalah valentine, kalau kita memaknai valentine itu sebagai hari kasih sayang. Dengan adanya hari yang kita khususkan tersebut, sebenarnya kita telah berbuat kurang bijaksana terhadap diri kita sendiri.

Peningkatan permintaan terhadap mawar segar menjelang perayaan Puisi Valentine mengakibatkan harga meningkat. Berdasarkan penuturan sejumlah pedagang yang ditemui Tempo, peningkatan harga mencapai tiga kali lipat. “Kalau mau valentine begini, harga naik jadi Rp 15.000,” ujar Hazeli, pemilik Mia Florist. Ia menambahkan, pada hari biasa setangkai bunga mawar dijual dengan harga Rp 5.000.

Ia mengatakan hal ini dikarenakan harga dari petani juga ikut naik. “Dari petaninya naik karena kalau dah mau valentine begini, pedagang biasanya pada dulu-duluan booking,” ujarnya. Ia menambahkan, harga mawar dari petani yang pada hari biasa hanya berkisar Rp 2.000 pertangkai naik menjadi Rp 5.000 pertangkai.

Kenaikan harga ini juga didorong oleh resiko yang dtanggung pedagang. Makmur, pemilik Segar Makmur Florist mengatakan menanggung resiko membuang barang dagangannya jika tidak laku. ”Mawar segar kan daya tahannya cuma3 hari,” ujar Makmur.

Kenaikan tidak hanya terjadi pada bungan mawar segar. Harga mawar plastik pun ikut naik menjelang perayaan valentine. Meskipun demikian kenaikan harga tidak terlalu besar. Mawar plastik yang biasanya dijual Rp 5.000 pertangkai, naik menjadi Rp 7.500.
